ARE YOU RUNNING BACK ON THE FIELD?

Do you ever get discouraged and feel overwhelmed?

Does it feel that you don't have enough time for everything?

Have you failed and feel like it's no use?

That is the Devil having his way.

God wants us to speak truth and positive words.

Even as a football player misses a play and wants to quit,

God wants us to get back on the field.

He has great things for us.

The devil sees to it that we keep busy, yes it is important things.

But we must seek strength and wisdom from God.



Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and
not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture.

Psalm 100:3, King James Version

E-mail from Max the dog in Florida

Hi-Thought I'd check in with you. I love it here but I think I will be hot when it gets warmer-is in the 60's & 70's now. Will probably have to have a haircut. My hair is long & PRETTY now. I love to run the beach. I try to catch the waves & bark at them but haven't been able to catch them yet. I run into the water up to my knees but I don't like the salt water-ugh!!!!! Have mastered stairs but sometimes I need to be carried up them. I can't jump on my masters bed down here like at home-not as much room to jump up in the camper-oh well-they lift me up. I like to sleep in our recliner at night in the living room but greet them in their bed in the morning-Mom carries me in-ha ha. Well,this is all for now-hope you are well & not too much snow. Our white stuff is sand & we don't have to shovel it -ha ha. Will write again later-Max arf arf

Learning Everyday

WOW ~ this kind of hit me this morning. When I think about the word 'prejudice' I mostly think of color. But it can mean against anything. Jesus chose his disciples from all ranks of people.

I pray that I am more accepting of people that are different than me in more than color.

KEY THOUGHT:

People in God's family have names, histories, and futures. They are
different in their interests and their vocations. Yet they all have one
thing in common: Jesus! Let's not limit our expectations or dreams for
people in the Kingdom of God because of their pasts, their names, their
occupations, or their reputations. Let's trust that Jesus can and will
use anyone who fully yields his or her life to his purposes.


TODAY'S PRAYER:

Father, forgive me for the sin of prejudice. Open my heart to see that
you want all kinds of different people in your family so that others
can be touched by what they see and so that your Church can be fully
energized with all the various kinds of people you have created.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

When it Rains it Pours

What a stressful week!

Several projects going on.

One, my car has had three major problems for a long time.

I looked at a couple cars at a lot (where Jason has pull :-)

but didn't know if I wanted the payment. (my car overheating

while I sat there)

This was about three weeks ago. Finally I got

tired of pouring Antifreeze in and called our mechanic/friend,

Dick McClinsey. He has his own shop. He put a new water pump on it.

Wow, I had heat!

I had broken the turn signal off a couple years ago

and had to stick my finger in a hole to use them.

I made an appt for Thursday for my brakes, but they

went out on Tuesday.

I got the car in on Tuesday. I rearranged my work schedule

and told him he could keep it on Wed. too.

He accessed the problems.

He had a wrecked car where he could put the whole steering column on

instead of ordering a turn signal. He also remembered that car

had a new Master Cylinder put on before it wrecked. So that saved me money.

So for what I would have put down on a different car I put into

mine and it feels like a new car. I love it!! God was in control.

Another situation I wanted to get a new bedroom suit and redo our bedroom..

Fortunately, one of my friends had a three piece chest/desk set, solid wood (Maple)

which matches a piece in my room. I am getting a new bed. So I have been cleaning, getting rid of etc. The hardest part was to get Rick to part with an

antique dresser my cousin had given him and a gun rack he made when

he was young. I htink the maple antique outfit helped. :-)

But my living room is piled up with things I'm not sure yet if I am using.

Rick has his cold back. Oh my word..the world stops except for work.

Next year he is getting a flu shot.

I have five accounts on my Nextel line. The other four wanted to upgrade

this week which is fine. But craziness set in and it still isn't solved.

I need a new phone but because I odered one last Fall and sent it back

because I needed the 2-way I can't upgrade til Aug. I can pay

the full price however. So once again I decided to play it smart (or pray ha).

Last night I ordered a new battery for mine, which should

take care of the problems.

My head and neck have hurt all week. I discovered I was playing to much MahJong

on the computer ha. A game that relaxes me but hurts my arm and neck.

I think I am looking forward to Monday, A NEW WEEK!.

Memories

Great-Grandpa Pfeiffer & Grandma Burroughs


When Jason was 2 or 3 months old he had a
very cute outfit (for the 70's ha)
It came with a hat which made it really stylish :-)
You know how it is with some outfits
you want to save them and pass them down.
35 years is a bit dated for an outfit :-)
So I gave it to Hannah for her babies.
She has reached the age of not only undressing
all her babies and leaving them, she is dressing
them now and I love it.
I didn't have a daughter and it is so much fun to
watch her as she grows and matures.
