God Listens...

"I cry out to the LORD; I pray to the LORD for mercy."  Psalm 142:1

I can talk to God because HE listens.  My voice matters in heaven.  God takes me very seriously.  When I enter HIS presence, God turns to me to hear my voice.  No need to fear that I will be ignored.  Even if I stammer or stumble, even if what I have to say impresses no one, it impresses God and HE listens.  God listens to the painful plea of the elderly in the rest home.  God listens to the gruff confession of the death-row inmate.  When the alcoholic begs for mercy, when the spouse seeks guidance, when the business man steps off the street into the chapel, God listens.  (Grace For The Moment - Max Lucado, January 1)

USA Birthday Wishes


Oh beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA

Whispering Thoughts...

"God, examine me and know my heart; test me and know my nervous thoughts" Psalm 139:23    

By giving God my whispering thoughts, the common becomes uncommon.

As HIS Children

God has proven himself as a faithful father. 
Now it falls to us to be trusting children.
