Thank God for the Little Things

Thank you, God for the little things
that often come our way -
The things we take for granted
but don't mention when we pray -
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly deed -
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need -
Oh make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with "sweet suprise"
from never-dreamed-of places.

Homiletics----Do's And Don' ts Do's

Homiletics: Do's and Don'ts

DO'S

In every teaching, you should speak both as a fellow-learner/sinner and as a prophet. Somehow, you should communicate that you have much to learn and a long way to go in your own walk with God. This helps people to identify with you and is a way of communicating God's grace. But having done this, you also need to boldly proclaim God's Word and call on people (as God's mouthpiece) to respond to it. Your use of personal pronouns is important in… Continue

What a wonderfull God we serve

Yesterday a wonderfull thing happened. Through the internet I was able to contact and make peace with my step-sister Elbie Venter. (who now also became a member of our family here on the net.) We have not been in contact for more than 10 years. I came, once again, to the realisation that God REALLY knows our every desire and that He knows what we want and most importantly, what we NEED sometimes even before we ourselves know it! Slowly but surely the Lord is busy reconecting me to people that I… Continue

Friendship

An English publication offered a prize for the best definition of a friend, and among the thousands of answers received were the following:
"One who multiplies joys, divides grief, and whose honesty is inviolable."
"One who understands our silence."
"A volume of sympathy bound in cloth."
"A watch which beats true for all time and never runs down."
Here is the definition that won the prize: "A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out."

From my "Daily promises" newsletter

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;

As Thou hast been Thou Forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided-

Great is Thy faithfulness, lord unto me!

By Thomas Obadiah Chrisholm

Searching....

I feel as if I am forever searching to find my purpose in life. I know that I've accomplished many things and that I make a difference, bur I cannot help to think that there should be more to life than what I have... Being thankful for what I have and doing everything to the best f my ability as this is what God wants from us I get. But why will God give me talents and not use me in some more extraordinary way than what I'm living now?

Good time

I just have to take a moment thank God this morning... last night I was invited over to a friend's house to play the trumpet with him and a friend of his, it was a great time. It was so great just to play trumpet with some real musicians

The Holy Spirit is our Only Source of True Joy, Peace and Love

(Inspired by Mike Murdock’s book, ‘The 3 Most Important Things in Your Life)

The Holy Spirit is the Source of Joy. His Presence brings joy. His fruit is joy. His Wisdom increases our joy. He is the Spirit of Wisdom. The pursuit of money, or having it does not produce joy. We cannot depend on our loved ones to create an atmosphere of happiness.

There are five misconceptions about joy. Many think joy comes from people, promotion, progress, power or possessions. The wise… Continue
