My Two Girls Celebrate Their Birthdays This November

It's my two girls' birthdays,
Sweet November for both
15 candles for ... Christine,
6 candles for ... Angel!
On their birthday this year,
3 love hugs - soft ones,
Gifts and one shake;
Then one kiss each from me
And a prayer and meaning
Beyond what words can tell,
Plus my best wishes with a bell.
All these for my 2 daughters
Who’s just ... 15 and 6 this month.
The Lord bless you, my dear ones.
Happy birthday!

CALL 4:13 and 29:11

What number do you call when your strength is ebbing ... when your heart is broken and hurting?

Your heart may be broken at your employment or with your finances.

Your heart may be broken through problems at home, with your children, or spouse.

Your heart may be broken by the world's temptations of alcohol, drugs, pornography, adultery or immorality,

Whatever it is, you are never to give up. Be strong. Cry out to the Lord for His healing, strength, and blessings.

That's right, call 4:13 and 29:11. It answers you: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) and " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).

What It Takes To Change a Life

The past couple of years have been so difficult a sacrifice for me. I experienced the most painful and darkest moments of my life during this time. Something "best" happened to me that changed my life as a result. I'd to die to myself that I may gain life. This movie, "MOST," contains a message that can describe what God has done to me ... as well as in the lives of countless others.

Do you find what you're looking for?

Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. If anyone serves Me, He must follow Me; and where I am, there will be My servant also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him." (John 12: 24, 26) ... In Thailand, a few weeks ago, it's tragic for me to see people bowing down to idols and spending buckets of money building massive temples for Buddha. There's much idolatry around and it's not hard to smell it... Of course, religious idolatry is one of Satan's greatest weapons to blind people's minds and hearts away from the true God. But there is another equally significant kind of idolatry that gets our focus off the Lord. We can call it "self-idolatry." It's sadder than seeing heathen bow down to their idols! It's a sight of Christians (even missionaries and pastors) who sacrificed much (give up worldly goods, homes, loved ones) but have never given themselves to God! Something to reflect on ... Jesus teaching us to die to self that we may live. A seed has to die before a plant grows.
