*Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place*
Praying prayers of protection for all in harm's way of Irma.
Twenty Third PsalmThe LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still......... waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:.... for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Blessings To All Who Enter Here

Writing Letters
September 10, 2017
Read:
2 Corinthians 3:16
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 2 Corinthians 3:2
My mother and her sisters engage in what is increasingly becoming a lost art formwriting letters. Each week they pen personal words to each other with such consistency that one of their mail-carriers worries when he doesnt have something to deliver! Their letters brim with the stuff of life, the joys and heartaches along with the daily happenings of friends and family.
I love to reflect on this weekly exercise of the women in my family. It helps me appreciate even more the apostle Pauls words that those who follow Jesus are a letter from Christ, who were written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God (2 Cor. 3:3). In response to false teachers who wanted to discredit his message (see 2 Cor. 11), Paul encouraged the church in Corinth to keep on following the true and living God as he had previously taught. In doing so, he memorably described the believers as Christs letter, with their transformed lives a more powerful witness to the Spirit working through Pauls ministry than any written letter could be.
How wonderful that Gods Spirit in us writes a story of grace and redemption! For as meaningful as written words can be, it is our lives that are the best witness to the truth of the gospel, for they speak volumes through our compassion, service, gratitude, and joy. Through our words and actions, the Lord spreads His life-giving love. What message might you send today?
Lord God, write the story of my life so that I might reflect Your love and goodness to those I encounter today.
We are Christs letters.

The One Who Understands
September 11, 2017
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John 1:14
John Babler is the chaplain for the police and fire departments in his Texas community. During a twenty-two-week sabbatical from his job, he attended police academy training so that he could better understand the situations law enforcement officers face. Through spending time with the other cadets and learning about the intense challenges of the profession, Babler gained a new sense of humility and empathy. In the future, he hopes to be more effective as he counsels police officers who struggle with emotional stress, fatigue, and loss.
We know that God understands the situations we face because He made us and sees everything that happens to us. We also know He understands because He has been to earth and experienced life as a human being. He became flesh and made his dwelling among us as the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14).
Jesuss earthly life included a wide range of difficulty. He felt the searing heat of the sun, the pain of an empty stomach, and the uncertainty of homelessness. Emotionally, He endured the tension of disagreements, the burn of betrayal, and the ongoing threat of violence.
Jesus experienced the joys of friendship and family love, as well as the worst problems that we face here on earth. He provides hope. He is the Wonderful Counselor who patiently listens to our concerns with insight and care (Isa. 9:6). He is the One who can say, Ive been through that. I understand.
Dear Lord, thank You for caring enough to humble Yourself and come to earth as a human being.
God understands the struggles we face.

Taking the First Step
September 12, 2017
God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting peoples sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19
Tham Dashu sensed something was missing in his life. So he started going to churchthe same church his daughter attended. But they never went together. In earlier days, he had offended her, which drove a wedge between them. So, Tham would slip in when the singing started and leave promptly after the service ended.
Church members shared the gospel story with him, but Tham always politely rejected their invitation to put his faith in Jesus. Still, he kept coming to church.
One day Tham fell gravely ill. His daughter plucked up the courage and wrote him a letter. She shared how Christ had changed her life, and she sought reconciliation with her dad. That night, Tham put his faith in Jesus and the family was reconciled. A few days later, Tham died and entered into the presence of Jesusat peace with God and his loved ones.
The apostle Paul wrote that we are to try to persuade others about the truth of Gods love and forgiveness (2 Cor. 5:11). He said that it is Christs love [that] compels us to carry out His work of reconciliation (v. 14).
Our willingness to forgive may help others realize that God desires to reconcile us to Himself (v. 19). Would you lean on Gods strength to show them His love today?
Is there someone you need to try to reconcile with? What practical first step can you take today?
Our willingness to seek reconciliation with others shows Gods heart to them.
The ministry of reconciliation Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 5:18 is the story of the gospel. We were alienated from God, but in His mercy and grace He reached out to us. In sending Jesus, the Father extended the greatest offer of peace in human historythe Prince of Peace Himself.
