Dearies
I had a Happy and Blessed Teachers
Sincere words from you gals really touched my heart
carved in stone
inked on a piece of yellow paper
is worth a lot to me
AUDREY!!! where's your handwriting?
You got until next week to think what to write
I need all your names to be down
to rmb you when I am 80 and with Alzheimers
dont blame me if I call you Ben ok.
On a saner note.....
I want to recap a meaningful lesson taught us
by Kenny Fam two wks ago.
"Your Prayer Can Make a Difference" Col4:2-6A. Prayer changes our perspective v2
prayer is not a waste of time.
It is the first line of defence
Tho God already knows, we remind ourselves when we verbalise our thots
B. Prayer opens up opportunities v3-4
At diff seasons of our lives we make contact with diff pple
C. Prayer enhances our effectiveness v5-6
Now who doesn't want that in her life.
Praying seems like the most logical thing to do when somethings big is brewing
God accomplishing His purpose is seen to be linked to prayer
Tonight my reading is Col 3:12 (NLT). Allow God to speak to all of us.
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves,
you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy,
kindness, humility,gentleness and patience.
Make allowance for each others faults, and forgive anyone who offends you.
Rmb the Lord forgave you,so you must forgive others.
Above all clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all tog in perfect harmony.
And let the peace of God which comes from Christ rule in your hearts.
For as members of one body you are called to live in peace.
And always be thankful.
This is sooo spot-on for me.
You notice this is the advice dished out by Paul to Christians
who have an issue with other Christians
Paul's teaching still applies today man.
Ya we have problems with the men-la
Strangely when I tried to let Ghrist rule in my heart this time
during the short encounter with "O-man"
I have peace and was not riled up as I put aside past prejudices.
God took away my usu unpleasantness, my hard-heartedness and aloofness
And of course I could digest my food better
Goodness knows what anger does to one's stomach.
Anyhow this was a good start
sparked off by Sparkers discussion in SS last wk
which set me thinkg how I can allow God to help me accept pple I cant change
The word rule comes from athletics:
Paul tells us to let God's peace be the "umpire" in our heart
Our heart is the center of conflict because
there's where our feelings and desires clash
How can we deal with these constant conflicts and live as God wants?
Paul explains that we must decide between conflicting elements on the basis of peace.
Which choice will promote peace in your soul, your family and your church?
So I leave you my dearies
To clear your relationships with yr friends,yr parents and men
with Christ's rule in your heart.
love love my world is full of love
i feel the earth move under my feet
cos you cared to express love to me.
m thankful........ Unti=P
