J.R. On Tract!


A recent e-mail from Godsminute.com ....Enjoy!

       They're Back!  More Church Bulletin Bloopers:

  
It is written; IF I SAY, 'I WILL FORGET MY COMPLAINT,
 I WILL CHANGE MY EXPRESSION, AND SMILE.'
                        ( JOB 9:27 * NIV )

  
Dear John,
        We all have days when we feel overwhelmed with life's
  many problems.  However complaining about then doesn't
  change a thing!   So why not smile instead of complain, for
  it is said; "Smile and the whole World smiles with you, frown
  and you frown alone!"

      Now what better way to find a smile than to laugh with joy.
  So enjoy today's message, and let it be said;
"OUR MOUTHS
  WERE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, OUR TONGUES WITH
  SONGS OF JOY."  For; THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS
  FOR US, AND WE ARE FILLED WITH JOY. ( PSALM 126:2-3 )

      
Therefore, John, today's message is one that was sent to
  us by one of our Dear Subscribers. It will bring a smile, as well
  as, a laugh or two.  It contains words that were found in Church
  Bulletins.
                    ___________________________

      Thank God for Church ladies with typewriters. These sentences
  actually appeared in Church Bulletins or were announced in Church
  Services.  So sit back and let us begin.....

I lift my hands, dear God to You
In praise and thanks for all You do
You light the path through all my days
And bless me with Your loving ways

I lift these hands, dear God to You
In troubled hours, when joys seem few
You bear me up on eagle's wings
And see me through each test life brings

I lift these hands, dear God to you
Please grant me wisdom, patience too
Then fill my heart with love and caring
Precious gifts, You've made for sharing.

I recieved this in an email and thought I would share it with you! hope this post finds you well! Hope for a breakthrough on all levels in my life and yours! Share this blog with your friends and family, I promise to always try to keep it inspiring and to bless if I can. May you find your God given purpose and will for your life and be the change you want to see around you! God Bless you always! J.R.  be sure to read my previous post and go to my Photoblog which is in a link below. Till the next post! J.R. on tract by the Holy Spirit!

Doing our part for God....

Fred Somebody,
Thomas Everybody,
Susan Anybody,
and Joe Nobody were neighbors,
but they were not like you and me.
They were odd people and most difficult to
understand. The way they lived was a shame.

All four belonged to the same church,
but you would not have enjoyed worshipping with them.

EVERYBODY went fishing on Sunday
or stayed home to visit with friends.

Anybody wanted to worship but was afraid SOMEBODY
wouldn't speak to him. So guess who went to church- NOBODY.

Really, NOBODY was the only decent one of the four.

NOBODY did the visitation. NOBODY worked on the church
building. Once they needed a Sunday School teacher. EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY would do it
and ANYBODY Thought SOMEBODY would do it?

And you know who did it?
That's exactly right NOBODY!

It happened that a fifth neighbor
(an unbeliever) moved in to the area. EVERYBODY thought
SOMEBODY should try to win
Him for Christ. Anybody could have mad an effort.
You probably know who finally won him: NOBODY!

This little parable brings to focus again that each of us is personally responsible
for God's work. If we Leave it for somebody or everybody or anybody, nobody will do it. Let's work till Jesus comes!  Amen!  God Bless You! Have a Awesome Day! Till the next Post! J.R. on Tract!

The Silver Cross around my neck....

The silver Cross I wear around my neck is a simple reminder to me
of the fact that I am a Christian no matter where I may be.
This Cross is not magic nor is it a good luck charm.
It isn't meant to protect me from every physical harm.
It's not for identification for all to see, Although they do it's true,
It's simply an understanding between my Savior and me.
When I think about the Cross around my neck and what Jesus has done for me at the Cross of Calvery.
The Cross is a reminder of the price He paid for me and all it's people.
It reminds me, too, to be thankfull for my blessings day by day
And to strive to serve Him better in all that I do and say.
It's also a daily reminder of the peace and comfort I share
With all who know my Master and give themselves and there heart to His care.
So I wear a Cross around my neck reminding no one but me
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life if only I'll let Him be.

Hope this post finds you doing well! Be sure to check out my Photo Blog:
 http://www.jrsphotospot-com.webs.com/
Hope the above ministered to you in some way! God Bless you!

J.R. on Tract! I do wear a Cross around my neck since coming home from Florida last summer, I had it a long time before that and didn't start wearing it till after then for whatever reason other than I didn't take the time to put it around my neck, I usually at some point had a Cross in my Pocket, I kept losing them. that is what the above is from however it originally was intitled  "The Cross in my Pocket". A Catholic ministry still sells them, However I'm not Catholic, I'm a Christian who does my best to Follow the Lord. Thats what the story befittingly says.
We are the Church, it's people, not the name over the Door or on the sign. Till the next post and always! Stay Safe!

Happy New Year!....Thinking about God

I have been through so much since 1985, The Lord was with me all the time. Even when I didn't know it! He who began a good work in you is faithfull to complete it! Seek Him while He may be found! He Loves you and me so, That is why He gave his life at Calvery and now makes intercession to this day for you and me!

The Candy Cane Christmas story...

Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born on Christmas night.

This cane you see,
when turned around
Begins your name of Love

And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.

The stripes are friendship
and the nearness of your love.
Eternal, Sweet Compassion
A gift from God above.

And so this cane reminds us
of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's mean't for all to share.

Merry Christmas!

The Dollar Tree had Palmers Chocolate
Candy canes with this story on the back
Of course they are a dollar a piece, I have had
some of Palmers chocolate before for valentines
and it was good as I remember. They also have Bob's Candy canes
made up north somewhere. I don't know about the Chinese
made canes. Probably had them under another brand.
Have a awesome day!
God Bless you! Read the other post below.

A Christmas Prayer...

Loving Father,Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds and the wisdom of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen.     Robert Louis Stevenson ( 1850-1894)

Hope all is well with your family at this time of year! Pray for each other bearing one anothers burden. Jesus saves and heals, those that seek Him shall lack no good thing. May the spirit of Christmas be in your heart throughout the coming year and always! Jesus Love and mine! J.R.

In God's Hands...

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.00; a basketball in Michael Jordans is worth about $33 million. It depends on whose hands it's in. A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.00; a baseball in Mark Mcquire's hands is worth about $19 million. It depends on whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands; a tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends on whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal; a rod in Mose's hands is a couple of fish sandwiches; two fish and five loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands. It depends on whose hands it's in. Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse; nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world. It depends on whose hands it's in. As you see now it depends on whose hands it's in. So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and relationships in God's hands because.........it depends on whose hands it's in.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

Moments in Life....9 statements

 His divine power has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness, through
the knowledge of Him who called us by
glory and virtue.               
          ( 2 Peter 1:3 *NKJV )

Dear John,
   There are times in this life when one of these
9 statements apply to each one of us.  So let them
now be reminders that Minister to us.....

                        "Moments in Life"

1. There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from your
dreams and hug them for real! So cherish them while
they are with you.

2. When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the closed door that
we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

3. Don't go for looks; they can deceive.  Don't go
for wealth; even that fades away.  Go for someone who
makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make
a dark day seem bright.  Find the one that makes your
heart smile.

4. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to
go; be what you want to be, because you have only one
life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

5. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep
you human and enough hope to make you happy.

6. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

7. The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you
let go of your past failures and heartaches.

8. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. So live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you
is crying.

9. Don't count the years-count the memories.......Life
is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but
by the moments that take our breath away!     Amen.
