Since you are precious and honored in My sight,
and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.
Isaiah 43:4
Tell me about the Master!
I am weary and worn tonight.
The day lies behind me in shadow,
And only the evening is light.
Light with a radiant glory
that lingers about the west,
My poor heart is aweary, aweary,
And longs like a child for rest.
Tell me about the Master!
Of the wrong He freely forgave,
Of His love and tender compassion,
Of His love that is mighty to save.
For my heart is aweary, aweary,
Of its woes and temptations of life,
Of the error that stalks in the noonday,
Of falsehoods and malice and strife.
Yet, I know that whatever of sorrow,
Or pain or temptation befall,
The Infinite Master has suffered,
And knoweth and pitieth all.
So tell me the old, old story
That falls on each wound like a balm,
And my heart that was burdened and broken
Shall grow patient, and calm, and strong.

the Prayer Requests section. Also, post any
prayers there for others to pray for you.
Pray for Colin Powell this weekend, Family,
that he will gain much favor in his peace talks,
and that the spirits of hatred and retaliation
between Israel and Palestine will be subdued.
Pray for both leaders to place their countries,
their people first, and to set aside past hurts,
and wounds.
I approved the printer's proof of my book
today, and it is now set for the press.
I will be gone over the weekend, and will not
return until Monday. The devotionals will
resume on Tuesday morning.
Have a safe, and blessed weekend, Family.

"If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm
and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs,
what good is it?"
James 2:16
Dream dreams of real compassion
And the joys your dreams could bring.
Dream dreams of their fulfillment
And the sad you helped to sing.
Then think of ways of making
These good dreams to come true.
The good Lord needs more dreamers
Yes, the Lord has need of you.
He needs your hands to minister
To the sick and insecure,
Your life to be a sermon
How to love and to endure.
He needs your voice to tell men
The humble Gospel story,
And to spread abroad the knowledge
Of His great love and glory.

Note:
Upon my visit to deliver the baby items to the Pregnancy Crisis Center, one of the mothers accepted Jesus, as her Savior while I was there. :-)
The ladies were so grateful for the baby items, and are in real need of receiving blankets, diapers, and baby food. If you would like to help, please contact me.

Only Trust Him
God knows your secret longings,
He knows your silent tears,
and even within the shadows
His hand is on your fears.
When your head is on the pillow
in the wee hours past midnight,
just trust that God is with you
somewhere within your room this night:
Watching, never sleeping,
He tends your fragile care,
and in the quiet hours a vigil keeping,
He breathes for you a prayer.
Just trust Him for the answers,
that a questioning heart can't give,
for God holds your every tomorrow,
knowing your "each today" is His.

We thank Thee, God, for extra things
You send along our way
Both when our days are sunny bright
and when our skies are gray.
The little planned surprises dropped
From Thy great, loving hand,
Like unexpected showers on
a parched and desert land.
The meeting of an old-time friend,
The lifting of a care,
And sunlight breaking through the clouds,
To tell us You are there.
Just why You do these extra things
Our finite minds don't know;
It must be You delight in them,
Because You love us so!

Will be making a delivery to the Pregnancy Crisis
Center this week. Had so much fun shopping for
baby needs the other day.
If any would like to pitch in and help, please do so.
The needs are great, as this is an area where
mostly textile families have lost jobs recently, and
communities are in economical pain. The center
serves five counties, offers counseling, and also
alternatives to abortions.
I believe that we are blessed, in order to be a
blessing.
