The news comes again shattering our hearts deep within,
For those who died at the hands of the enemies sin.
And now we mourn and fall to our knees,
begging our God, please, oh God please.
But where were you last week in the calm of your soul,
Were your knees bent then, praying for all?
Why is it that tragedy draws us to You,
why not everyday the whole year through?
Let us begin prayer time as a daily routine,
holding on to Your Word and all that You mean.
You told us to pray and seek Your face,
turning from sin and our wick ways.
Then You would hear from heaven forgiving our sins,
and heal our lands and our hearts within.
This poem sums it up, to bend a knee and to fall,
to pray for the nations and to pray for us all.

When I doubt God's steadfast love for me,
may I quickly turn to
Psalm 36:57
"Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
Your judgments are a great deep'
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men
put their trust under the
shadow of Your wings."

May's Women's Bible Study Picture
Reading Leviticus this morning, chapter 8:22-24, Moses consecrated Aaron and his sons
right ears so they would hear the voice of God, their right thumbs so they would serve God
and right toes so they would walk in the path of God
Lord, cause my ears, hands and feet to be consecrated for You.
Be My Light
A routine visit to the quilt shop today gave me
unexpected opportunities to light up a darkened room.
A simple question of "How Are You" became a complex mix of emotion.
The loss of a child, young or old, is something I personally have not experienced but
have experienced it second hand through those I deeply care about. The news of
an unbeatable disease was heard and began crushing my healthy heart. The thing is,
in both cases, I asked a question and now an answer needed to happen.
First and foremost, just listen through their tears, their broken hearts and
their confused minds. Then, be a light of encouragement and hope.
God places opportunities in our paths daily and wants us to be a
light that shines toward Him. True comforting words of hope and
sincere prayers for healing can only come from knowing Gods Word.
Finding the right words to share, can only come from the Spirit.
Let your light so shine that others will see that God loves them in
their time of need and despair.
Thank you Lord for Your opportunities to share Your love.
