Your Daily Bread

New International Version
Luke 11:3
Give us each day our daily bread.
Matthew 6:11Give us today our daily bread.
Proverbs 30:8Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.

What quality is your FAITH?

I have purchased two books on Sketchnoting by Mike Rohde from Amazon. One is the Sketchnote Handbook and the other one is the Sketchnote Workbook. My goal is to increase the way I am taking notes during sermons and while doing my morning bible study. Here is an example what I'd like to do. Thanks for sharing this on Flickr so that others like myself can see great sketching in action. Looks like Greg Alles is the author or sketch artist who created this message on Faith. Love, love this. Awesome stuff here. I hope to find more to share and then one day, share my own. With God's help, I can succeed, right?

Will You Be Bold When it Counts?

The following is a TRUE story of something that happened over the holidays that will 
really make you think and it could happen to any of us. 

A young 17 year old boy was shopping in a St. Cloud at a sports store called Shields. 

The cashier was a Muslim lady who was wearing her headscarf. The 17 year old was 
wearing a necklace with a cross on it. She told him he would have to put his cross 
under his shirt because it offended her. He told her would not do that. Then he told 
her that he thought she should take her headscarf off. She then called for the manager. 
The manager came out and told the 17 year old to just put his cross under his shirt 
and everything would be fine. 

The boy again refused to do so and at that point he left the items he had intended 
to purchase and walked out. Several customers who had been in line behind him 
had heard the conversation and also left their carts full of items and walked out of 
the store!!* 

I SAY KUDOS TO THE 17 YEAR OLD!!!  We all know we are in some very changing 
times, and given the same circumstances, I pray we would all have the courage 
this young lad had. 

Our Bible class spent a few minutes talking about the challenge we are facing for 
our first amendment right of religious freedom. 

(I have to wonder what’s next?? Are they going to try to ban the jewelry store 
owners from selling any jewelry with a cross on it?????) 

Please share, and be ready to defend your religious rights! 

God bless you, and God bless America

How Do You Socktober?

God tells us in Isaiah 58:7
New Living Translation
Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

By now, millions of people have heard of Kid President. He has captured many hearts with his cuteness, but more importantly, he has a heart and helps motivate others to good. I am challenging churches and schools everywhere to help him reach his goal of 3 million. Set up your own Socktober Drive. Don't limit it to socks, you can choose blankets, canned food, toiletries, deodorant, soap, brushes, etc. We want to help the homeless shelters and get them supplied with items before the cold winter. Check out the website: happysocktober.com They even have an official seal! Check it out:

God's Grace

Grace of God
 Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain, Just pray to God for a better umbrella. That's Attitude! Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end. Some people throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them; a Wall or a Bridge? Always remember you are the architect of your own life. Search for a good heart, but don't search for a beautiful face, coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful. It's not important to hold all the good cards in life, but it's important how well you play the cards you hold. Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, be silent for a Moment, remember God and pray. "It is often just a bend, not the end". One of the basic differences between God and humans is this: God gives, gives, and forgives. But the human gets, gets, gets, and forgets to do the same. Always Be Thankful . . . If you think it is your alarm clock that woke you up this morning, try putting it beside a non-living body and you will realize, that it is the Grace of God that awakened you. If you are grateful to God for your place in life and the abundance given you, please share this with all your friends. BY GODS GRACE ALONE We are here experiencing BEING, and have been given so many Intrinsic Gifts. Have Faith, and you will 'demonstrate' a happy & successful life. ~*~ The One GOD is always with us GOD'S BLESSINGS BE YOURS! ================================ This came across my email sent by a dearSister in Christ. Do not have information on who created it. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
