Isaiah:40:31

Sometimes we must remember the low spots in our life to appreciate the highs. In January of 1991 I was confined to a wheelchair in the veterans hospital. I had sustained a spinal cord injury that left me unable to walk plus a bonus of great pain in my arms,legs &feet. To relieve the pain in my feet I would wheel outside & stick my bare feet in the snow. On one such occasion another fellow crashed into me in his wheelchair. Kind of made me mad. He began to talk to me about all that he had been through.open heart surgery,diabetes & the amputation of both legs. He ended the conversation with praises to GOD. Wow! I still had my legs & a promise from GOD that I would walk again. I never seen that guy again but I have not forgotten him or his joy that bannered above his afflictions. Did GOD send him? I believe he did. I bring this up once in a while that someone else might be lifted up as I was. I still have many physical problems but today I rejoice over the sure mercies of my Lord. May he find you rejoicing also. Love & prayers; Bro. stubby.

The law!

40 yrs ago I took for granted that most everyone believed in GOD. Even now I still believe America is still the best place for a christian to live. I also know that our faith is being challenged by a few people that seem to believe that they have more rights than we do. As a fellow human being they embarass me. As christians we must pray for all those who oppose GOD,his son,and for that matter us. I know that soon everyone shall know that GOD is real. In our society across the world many things that were unlawful and unacceptable a few yrs ago have become the rule of law today. The rule of law has not changed for us christians,for it is the law of GOD that rules in our hearts. A law that requires us to love unconditionly,to have faith unwavering,and to do good to all men especially those of the household of faith. If you you feel threatened remember that which is in you is greater than that wich is in the world.

True rewards!

What do you have and what is it worth? Has it been a gift or did  you earn it? In the parable of the talents  three men were each given a sum of money. By todays values this probably ranged from 5 to 25 million dollars if these were talents of gold or from 4 hundred thousand to2 million dollars if it were silver. Each that invested it wisely was rewarded and commended. Jesus witnessed a poor widow that put all her living into the temple treasury two mites wich by todays value is about 50 cents. Jesus called his disciples together so they could see what she had done. Whatever you have are you investing it that it might profit others? If so I believe your reward  shall more than compensate for all that you have spent. Money or effort you shall have in return more than you need now plus the promise of eternal life to come. May all that you do prosper in the Lord.
