Happy Anniversary

“A Vacation is what you take, when you can no longer take,

what you’ve been taking.”Earl Wilson

Our Adversary majors in three things, noise, hurry and crowds. If he can keep

us engaged in “muchness” and “manyness,” he will rest satisfied.

-- Richard J. Foster

“Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus of Nazareth

Gratitude

“The worst moment for an atheist is when he/she is really thankful, but has nobody to thank.” Dante

The worst moment for a Christian is when he/she no longer feels thankful.

Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks.I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!”

Gratitude

Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness;Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word.The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.

Gratitude

When they hear what you have to say, GOD, all earth’s kings will say “Thank you.”They’ll sing of what you’ve done: “How great the glory of GOD!”

Gratitude

And here’s why: GOD, high above, sees far below; no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.When I walk into the thick of trouble, keep me alive in the angry turmoil.

Gratitude

With one hand strike my foes,With your other hand save me.Finish what you started in me, GOD. Your love is eternal—don’t give up on me now.

Psalm 138 (Message)
