LET GO AND LET GOD

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend
I brought my broken dreams to God because he was my friend

But instead of leaving him in peace to work alone
I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own

At last I snatched them and cried, "How could you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

 

[HopeandGlory]

Good morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE AT VALLEY FORGE
In the coldest and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting glory and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise for our heroes in the American military who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and keep them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Amen.



SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON

Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your countenance to shine upon them and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Prepared For The Real Thing
May 20, 2012

Through the years, quite a few people have predicted the return of Jesus at a specific time. Just last year an American radio preacher stirred up the interest of the mainstream media with his prediction that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011.

Anyone who knows Scripture well knew that this advance warning wasn’t accurate, because Jesus Himself said His return would be “at an hour you do not expect” (Luke 12:40). But I do have to admit that this prediction captured my attention. Often I get so caught up in the busyness of life that I live as though Jesus’ return is some distant reality. I forget that Jesus could come back at any time. The prediction, wrong as it was, reminded me about the importance of being prepared for my Savior’s return, and it renewed my excitement that it could be any day—even today.

Sometimes when we think of being ready for Jesus’ return, we think about what we shouldn’t be doing. But being prepared is really about purifying ourselves and becoming more and more like Him so we are pleasing to Him when He comes back for us (1 John 3:2-3). Jesus taught that being ready for His return requires living according to our Master’s will now (Luke 12:47). Will we be prepared when it’s time for the real thing?

Keep me praying, keep me trusting
Every step along life’s way!
Keep me waiting, keep me watching,
For He may return today! —Thiesen

Look for Christ’s return and you’ll live for Christ’s glory.

Read: Luke 12:35-40

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. —Luke 12:40

Bible in a Year:
Job 21-24

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...feeling better today? PT action, or reaction, finally settle down?

My Dad “passed” his finger stick today...4 weeks this time. Then we went a got more cracked corn for the ducks.

My brother and his wife stopped by...they flew up from Georgia on Thursday, he had arthroscopic surgery on his knee on Friday (good news...they thought the MRI showed maybe 3 years before knee replacement, but found things better than expected....maybe good for 10 years). He will go back to work in a few days (north slope) and she will fly back to Georgia. They are in the process of selling his boat in St Maarten and finding a better live-aboard.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours. Did you have to work today? Planting?

[ConorMacNessa]

No work today - we're back to 40 hours max. I slept in this morning late and had a restful day. Went out late afternoon to drop a few things off at Salvation Army and went to Lowe's to buy a mirror for our 1st floor bathroom. Mrs. MacNessa is painting it and we're changing the mirror, the light kit and the faucet in the sink. What we had wasn't bad but it's been there for 20 years and we're ready for a change.

LOL

A woman returned from church and surprised and surprised and intruder robbing her home.

She yelled Acts 2:38, which means "Repent and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven!"

The burglar stopped in his tracks, and surrendered.

The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer was cuffing the burglar, he asked him, "Why did you just stand there when all the lady did was yell a Scripture at you?

"Scripture?!"replied the burglar, "She said she had an Axe and two 38's!!"

LOL

Kathy, your “Let Go and Let God” reminded me of this poem:

A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day and feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals.

The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the WILL OF GOD for his life and for his ministry. Because of his high respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to TRY to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact…It wasn’t long before he realized how it was impossible to do so.

Noticing the younger preacher’s inability to unfold the rosebud while keeping it intact, the older preacher began to tell the following poem…

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of GOD’s design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they fade and die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of GOD’s design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I’ll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only my heavenly Father knows.
I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

[ConorMacNessa]

Beautiful, Yorkie! A Blessed Lord's Day to you!

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[Kathy in Alaska]

2. Announcement in the church bulletin for a National PRAYER & FASTING Conference: “The cost for attending the Fasting and Prayer conference includes meals.”

3. Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 PM in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King.

4 .Miss Charlene Mason sang “I will not pass this way again” giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.

"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 13:31-32
