M"  is for the million things she gave me,
"O"  means only that she's growing old,"T"  is for the tears she shed to save me,"H" is for her heart of purest gold;"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

~BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE~

Hi.............

There are people in our lives who we love so...dearly and yet hardly let them know we care.

There are lovedones and friends we interact with on daily bases and who mean so much to us, but they still do not know Jesus Christ our Lord as their Savior.

If Abba Father gave us His all, it's because He loved us soo much.

If Christ died for us it's because He loved us.

Let's not just give our best to people we love and care about but tell them about "THE ONLY WAY"

JOHN 14:6

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

 No one comes to the Father except through me.

We need to witness to our unsaved loved ones- our kids, parents, spouse, friends, our brothers and sisters- as they are special not just to us but to a God who loves them more than us.

Psalm 78:  ⁴ We will not hide them from their

children;we will tell the next generation 
       the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
       his power, and the wonders he has done.

 ⁵ He decreed statutes for Jacob 

and established the law in Israel, 
       which he commanded our forefathers 
       to teach their children,

 ⁶ so the next generation would know them, 

 even the children yet to be born,
       and they in turn would tell their children.

We need to talk about our Lord, His saving grace, His goodness often.

Psalm 71 ¹⁵ My mouth will tell of your righteousness, 

 of your salvation all day long, 
       though I know not its measure.

 ¹⁶ I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,O

Sovereign LORD; 
       I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.

 ¹⁷ Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, 

and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

Here's something I read long back during my college days and have always treasured it for it blessed me and is a valuable reminder even today.

So before it's too late, loved ones and friends not just how much we love and care for them but make sure they know our Savior.

Read and be blessed.

YSIC,

Julia

                               

   BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

If you have a tender message or a loving word to say,

Do not wait till you forget it, wisper it today,

The tender word unspoken,

The letter never sent,

The long forgotten messages,

 The wealth of love unspent,

For these some hearts are breaking.

For these some loved ones cry.

So show them you care for them before it's too late.

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me; instead
You may give me my roses now!
~ Thomas F. Healey

~FULL SURRENDER~ Our Lord deserves our ALL or nothing at all...

Hi friends, brothers and sisters in Christ 

This is a poem I read many years back and it so....blessed me.
We give God our all...or nothing at all!

Be blessed,

Julia

                        

   FULL SURRENDER

My heart has a hundred rooms or more,

I kept the keys to every door;

And then one day the lord found me ,

And asked if He might have the keys.

I nodded yes and turned my back,

To take one small key off the pack,

A key to an attic room so.... small,

I thought it didn't matter at all.

I turned around thinking what to say,

But all too late He had gone away;

My heart sank deep down to my feet,

A voice called me a cheat.

Another day my Lord passed by,

I saw the hurt look in His eyes;

I flung every key at HIS wounded feet,

And O the joy inexpressibly sweet.

  By Elizabeth. M. Forstner

Are you on the Verge of Giving up?

Hi brothers, sisters and friends....

Are you at the verge of giving up?

You think it's all over?
If you are the Child of the Most High God just hold on to Jesus Christ your Lord. He is your Hope. He is the Glory and the Lifter of your head.

Just hold on and don't let go be cause God's about to perfect all that consumes you.

ISAIAH 57:18,"I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him,"

Facing tough times?
 Are you weighed down by trials, sickness & pain?

Just hold on the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob will rise Himself on your behalf.

PSALM 41:3,"The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness."

PSALM 71:20,"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up."

Have you lost your job, property or anything that was yours?

God can quickly restore what was rightfully yours.

GENESIS 40:13, "Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cup bearer."

Are relationships strained and in the verge of breaking up?

Feel there's no hope?

Just believe that your Heavenly Father is a God of restoration & will help you build up this relationship.

PSALM 147: ³ He heals the brokenhearted 

       and binds up their wounds.

What ever situation you are in and feel there's no hope and it's all over, Just give your troubling situation right now into the hands of your Saviour JESUS CHRIST.

If He's not your Savior as yet, you can still reach out to HIM for help. Just cry out to HIM.

Be real, tell HIM how you feel about the situation.

He will intervene & help you.

So instead of giving up hope & thinking it's all over, look up to JESUS CHRIST.

Trials, pain are part of life. But God's word promises us, that everything works to our good.

^{1 CORINTHIANS 4:17}For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So if you think all is over..just remember..there's still hope. Abba Father's on the throne & we can approach HIS throne on grace with our petitions, in the NAME OF JESUS/YESHUA & HE will listen to us.

God Bless you,

Julia

From Mom To Daughter

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME??

God has blessed each of us with a family. Some are there with us, some live far away and some are no more!!

When was the last time you did something special for your mom/dad/spouse/daughter/son/sister/brother/grand-parents?

When was the last time...??

• you gave mom a hug?
• Gave her a call to ask her how she's doing?? 
• you told her you loved her?
• you showed her you care?
• you wiped her tear away when she cried?
• you seen her sigh and asked her what was bothering her?
• you happily ran an errand for her?
• you gave her a gift?
• you seen her sick and took care of her?
• you prayed for her or with her?
• you told her 'sorry' for hurting her?
• you rendered to her the honor and respect that was due to her?
• you talked to her kindly?
• you helped her with house-hold chores?
• you felt indebted to her for taking care of you as a child?

 Today take time to make your mom (if she's still around) (and don't forget dad!) feel special....
Tomorrow may be too late!
Trust this blessed you,

Julie

 Don't quit...Light will break-forth soon...

Has the wait been long?
 Hold on...your answer is on the way...

God is watching, our God is faithful and He is a God of surprises.

Many battles are lost at the discouragement and disappointment.

~The healing will come,

~Restoration on the way,

So...don't quit.

       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint."

Hold on and don't give up.
