Spirit Lifters

June 30th - A golden wedding is when the couple has gone fifty-fifty!

July 1st - If you can’t sleep, don’t count sheep; talk to the

Shepherd. July 2nd - People who deal in Sunshine Are the ones who

draw the crowds, They always do more business Than those who peddle clouds.

July 3rd - The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to

think together. July 4th - Be thankful for America…In humbleness we pray

Please God, watch over our dear land And keep it safe from day to day.

July 5th - This day must be remembered, The stars and

stripes unfurled; Ours is a glorious heritage, So bless the whole wide world.

July 6th - Worry is like a rocking chair; it will give you

something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere. July 7th - The happiness of life is made up of minute frac-

tions - the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment….

July 8th - You are often sorry for saying a harsh word, But

you will never regret saying a kind one.

Prayer of Health & Healing This prayer can be used to pray for healing, by changing out to

specific name, me etc… please use this to help those in need or

when you are in need.

HEAVENLY FATHER, I call on you right now in a special way . It is through your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live under your power. Father, I ask you now to touch those in need with that same power. For if you created them from nothing, you can certainly recreate them. Fill them with the healing power of your spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in them. Mend what is broken. Root out any unproduc-tive cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection. Let the warmth of your healing love pass through their body to make new any unhealthy areas so that their body will function the way you created it to function. And Father, restore them to full health in mind and body so that they may serve you the rest of their life. I ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen
