After a 4-day weekend, due to Thanksgiving, it was kind of hard getting back to my weekly schedule program (work, school, etc.) Though I enjoyed every minute of being off, I know it was time to face the inevitable....Monday. So embrace Monday....again, why not start it off with a laugh. Below are just a couple of stories, that made me laugh or even put a smile on my face. A Little Boy's Prayer "Dear God, please take care of my daddy and my mommy and my sister and my brother and my doggy and me. Oh, please take care of yourself, God. If anything happens to you, we're gonna be in a big mess." An Atheist In The Woods An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the accident of evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he walked alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look, just in time to see a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. H...

I saw this on one of my friend's facebook page and thought this will make a great post. I hope you enjoy it!!! Have a bless weekend!!!

(Revelation 11:15)

"But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]." (1 Corinthians 15:57-58) I am thankful for having the victory in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am thankful for steadfastness and the ability (through the power of the Holy Spirit) to be immovable and always abounding in God's work so that it will not be in vain. I am thankful that I serve a mighty God. Join our hostess, Laurie @ Women Taking A Stand .

However, we should always and continue to give thank...

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Because of His Love, I am save, free from sin, and will live and not die. Everlasting life is part of my salvation benefits. I thank you God in the name of your precious Son's name Jesus!!!

You have to experience it for yourself. The video above is our choir singing this past weekend. It was a spectacular service. One of the songs we sang was, "Lord, You Holy!". The words to the song describe everything who God is and more. I am thankful for all that God is and bless to have an opportunity as well as the freedom to experie...

I was looking for a joke or funny video for my "Start My Week Off With A Laugh" Post and came across this. I had to post it instead. My first response after reading it was, "WoW!!" The Cleaning Woman There was a little old cleaning woman that went to the local church. When the invitation was given at the end of the service, she went forward wanting to become a member. The pastor listened as she told him how she had accepted Jesus and wanted to be baptized and become a member of the church. The pastor thought to himself, "oh my, she is so unkempt, even smells a little, and her fingernails are not clean. She picks up garbage, cleans toilets - what would the members think of her." He told her that she needed to go home and pray about it and then decide. The following week, here she came again. She told the pastor that she had prayed about it and still wanted to be baptized. "I have passed this church for so long. It is so beautiful, and I truly want to b...

Psalm 20 MAY the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion; May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright. Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.

I am thankful that where I am in life right now is not where I am going to stay. God has a great things in store for me. I am thankful that when I am feeling discouraged, worn, weary, or an other icky feeling, I can take it to the Lord in prayer and believe without a shadow of doubt that He has already worked it out. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11) "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." (Galatians 6:9) "I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep."
