Verse of the Day

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:28-31

I know, I know, this is more than one verse; however, they go so well together.lol Really, sometimes life is just a "perspective thing". By that I mean that it's all in our attitude, or the way we perceive situations, that affects our ability to either just exist, or to "grab life by the horns". Always keep in mind that the Lord is, was and will forever be our Creator. He will not ever grow weak or weary, and when we feel down, weary and are experiencing struggles, we can lean on him. Through his power, grace and might we can "soar on wings like eagles". His love for us, what he did for us by sending his son Jesus Christ, is really unfathomable; however, this love also gives us abilities far beyond our means if we just trust in Him.

Sandy, there isnt many like you. Heres a little ditty to add to your hard work through helping others- your efforts are appreciated.

Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Saint Francis of Assisi

Thanks for sharing. I know that I truly feel that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I regret that I don't have more time, more resources, more "me" to give.
