Fun in Aging

Because of my busy-ness, I make it a point to go out of my way to make myself laugh and I really enjoy it. Yesterday, my mom and youngest sister were in my mom's office. My mom read aloud some funny stories from a Christian magazine (Light Touch) and the stories cracked us up. I'd want to share them with you. So here they are...

Senior Driving
As a senior citizen was driving down the highway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "German, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the highway. Please be careful!"
"Heck," said German, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

Family (my favorite)
Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the batch?" The 94-year-old yells back, "I don't know - I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses, "Was I going up the stairs or down?" The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea - listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful - knock on wood." She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you...as soon as I see who's at the door."

Lost in the darndest places
An elderly called the emergency number on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. Hysterical, she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried.
The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way."
A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says, "She got in the back-seat by mistake."

Old friends
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now, don't get mad at me... I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

More senior driving
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light."
A few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red, but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, no! Am I driving?"

Hope these made you laugh. That is one of my goals today. To make you smile, my friend.

Make an impact. Make a difference. Make a ripple. Tip the scale. Be a blessing. Be different.

ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU - NO MATTER WHAT!

When you feel GOD's love, OVERFLOW WITH HAPPINESS!

I was thinking about happiness when I saw my sister's shoutout at her Friendster "There is no key to happiness. The door is always open."

Being happy is a choice. While joy only comes from the LORD.

An Encouraging Word and A Song for You

by Dennis and Barbara Rainey

An Encouraging Word

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.

I once was speaking to a group of several hundred singles, and I asked, "How many of you grew up in homes where you were told you were great?" Perhaps a dozen raised their hands. The rest of these young adults remembered words of criticism from their parents more than they remembered encouragement.
When was the last time you pondered on how to encourage those in your family? If you want your mate to live a godly life...if you would like to see your children grow up to love the Lord and walk with Him, then you need to make encouragement a part of your daily vocabulary.
I remember watching a PBS special in which Daniel Boorstein, then the Librarian of Congress, brought out a little blue box that contained the contents of Abraham Lincoln's pockets on the night he was assassinated. Among the contents were found several news clippings applauding Lincoln's leadership and great deeds. It's easy to forget that when Lincoln lived millions of people hated him, and he needed encouragement like anyone else.
All of us have an encouragement meter that is near empty at times. In fact, has anybody ever been encouraged too much? Have you ever felt too appreciated?
I've got a challenge for you. Spend some time thinking of five good things about each member of your family. Begin writing them here, and use additional paper as needed.
1.1.1.
2.2.2.
3.3.3.
4.4.4.
5.5.5.
Now, commit yourself to finding time to encourage each family member in these areas during the next week. Spend more time encouraging than criticizing.
Be warned though, do not wait for somebody to praise you. Someone once said, "You can sometimes catch a terrible chill waiting for someone else to cover you with glory."

Prayer:
That God would cement good qualities in each family member through your encouragement.

YOU ARE A GLORIOUS CREATION OF OUR FATHER, my dear friend!

If you are thinking right now that you are a mistake, you are not. Your life is not an accident. GOD CREATED YOU FOR A PURPOSE - to live a life of worship and to please HIMSELF! You might ask, "Please HIMSELF?" Yes because HE loves you so much and HE is all about you! HE is pleased even just by seeing you! HE loves all HIS Creations. No one is exempted with that GREAT LOVE!

There are 2 Ways you will be remembered:
1.) when you encourage
2.) when you discourage

The question is...how do you want to be remembered???

MY SAVIOR LIVES...I AM REDEEMED!!!

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!

Matthew 28:1-10

The Resurrection

1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

OUR SAVIOR IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN!

Not only did HE rise from the dead, but HE is risen in us...in our hearts, in our minds, in our souls, in our spirits and in our lives...if HE is truly risen, people must see HIM in you!!!









JESUS CHRIST died for you...OUR SAVIOR LIVES FOREVER!!!

Beyond Words

I would like to share this wonderful song that caught my attention that they were playing before service this morning. Soothing voice. It reminds me of JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS CHRIST - our amazing SAVIOR!!!



Lyrics:

well if you only knew the pain that I've been through
since when did it become all about you
as you can see from the start I've said the truth
but if the truth means nothing to you
then what am I supposed to do?

and I'll still love you
beyond what words will say
I'll take your every suffering moment
and bring a better day
I'll still love you
more than what I hope to be
let Me wrap My arms around you
let Me take your breath away

and every time I ask
you assure your doing fine
but your heart looks good by smiling
you couldnt fool Mine
by the end of the night your pilliow sits to dry
in a crowded room your singing
on the inside you cry

and I'll still love you
beyond what words will say
I'll take your every suffering moment
and bring a better day
I'll still love you
more than what I hope to be
let Me wrap My arms around you
let Me take your breath away

in a ball room there is dancing
in a forest there are trees
in a child there's a hope
that keeps him in believe
with any star there is a sky
with any beach there's a sea
with any love song there's a lover
and in your heart I hope its....

and I'll still love you
beyond what words will say
I'll take your every suffering moment
and bring a better day
I'll still love you
more than what I hope to be

let Me wrap My arms around you
let Me wrap My arms around you
let Me wrap My arms around you
let Me take your breath away

Imagine JESUS talking to you that whatever you do, whatever you say, whatever you think and whatever you feel, HE will still love you.

Come, Let Us Worship!!!



Lyrics:

I can't see you
I know your there
I can feel you
I will not fear
I will trust in you and
I will not be afraid

When the battle is close at hand
Though your with me
You help me stand
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

i will not be afraid
i will not be afraid

I will trust in you
I will trust in you
I will trust in you

When the darkness is close at hand
And i'm running against the wind
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

When i'm standing upon that shore
Of the battle
Have gone before
I will trust in you
And i will not be afraid

Lyrics:

I could live life alone
And never fill the longings of my heart
The healing warmth of someone's arms
And I could live without dreams
And never know the thrill of what could be
With every star so far and out of reach
I could live without many things
And I could carry on, but...

CHORUS
I couldn't face my life tomorrow
Without Your hope in my heart I know
I can't live a day without You
Lord, there's no night and there's no morning
Without Your loving arms to hold me
You're the heartbeat of all I do
I can't live a day without You

I could travel the world
See all the wonders beautiful and new
They'd only make me think of You
And I could have all life offers
Riches that were far beyond compare
To grant my every wish without a care
Oh, I could do anything, oh yes
But if You weren't in it all...

CHORUS

Oh, Jesus, I live because You live
You're like the air I breathe
Oh, Jesus, I have because You give
You're everything to me

CHORUS 2X

I LOVE these lines ~> You're the heartbeat of all I do and I will trust in You

I've just heard these songs tonight and they caught my attention. Sweet love songs to our FATHER. Praise your pathway to victory.

So come let us worship!!!
