Try A Little Tenderness! 5/24/15

 

 

 

 

Philippians 2:30 (KJV)
30  Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.   
 

 

Today is MEMORIAL DAY-a day set aside NOT to celebrate, but to honor, remember and reflect on those who give and gave their lives for US-

 

"ALL GAVE SOME-SOME GAVE ALL!!!"

 

I tip my hat and give my RESPECT, LOVE and APPRECIATION to all the soldiers and police officers, fire fighters and others who serve and protect!

 

As Lt. Smith of the Butts County Sheriff Dept. remarked several years ago:

 

"WE rush TOWARD the gunfire instead of fleeing away from it!!!!"

 

AMEN AND AMEN!!

 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL TODAY!!!

 

I have a SPECIAL REQUEST today-one I do not believe I have ever asked of you?

 

Many of you remember Kevin and JoAnne Ingram-they of the old GOSPEL HARVESTER CHURCH on Defore Ave. and Hurt Rd., and original members of our Church, GOSPEL OUTREACH CHURCH.

 

Kevin has STAGE 4 cancer and has been denied his rightful Social Security and SSI, and even food stamps.

 

They have NO money and are living in a borrowed mobile home in Alabama with little to no A/C.

 

JoAnne is now confined to a wheelchair and is struggling to take care of her PRECIOUS husband-they are a PERFECT couple of love birds!!!!!

 

I am ASKING/PLEADING with you to help send them some MONEY-YES, I am asking for money!!!!

 

If you can and WANT to, please reply bu email or phone as the the amount.

 

I want to send them a check by this Wednesday, May 27 as time is of the essence!!

 

Please call or write by that date and make your pledge-'nuff said.

 

I also have sad news to give today.

 

Many of you remember MARY BRANNON/PURCELL/WEATHERLY-the sister of Robin Brannon/Pede.

 

She passed away suddenly yesterday of a heart attack-no other details known at this time.

 

PLEASE keep BOTH these dear families in PRAYER!

 

Philippians 2:30 (KJV)
30  Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

 

"BECAUSE FOR THE WORK OF CHRIST HE WAS NIGH UNTO DEATH.........."

 

No greater words other than Jesus' Words can be said of our lives on planet earth!

 

O, to hear Jesus say when our work and lives are done:

 

Matthew 25:23 (KJV)
23  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.   
 

 

"ONLY ONE LIFE WILL SOON BE PAST

 

ONLY THE THINGS DONE FOR CHRIST WILL LAST!!!"

 

It was another LONG, sleepless night with little Amanda-she had me up from 2 AM and is still awake at the time of my writing-8 AM.

 

As I lay SLEEPLESS last night and PRAYED for YOU and me, I thought of those who "GAVE SOME OR ALL."

 

I thought about the lonely soldier ALONE on the battlefield.

 

His or her family a great distance away and he or she MUST remain alert and vigilant through long, LONG nights of sleeplessness.

 

Or the police office and fire fighter working through the wee hours of the morning in thankless duty.

 

It is a CERTAINTY they labor not for money or glory!!!!

 

They are the WATCHMEN on the hill side, keeping watch over their little flock at night!

 

THEY tie their shoes in the morning, never knowing who will untie them when their shift is finished.

 

Of this, the Apostle Paul said of his dear friend and fellow servant of the Lord, EPAPHRODITIS:

 

Philippians 2:29 (KJV)
29  Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

 

WE are the RECIPIENTS of their CALLING and DUTY, of which we are rightfully commanded to "HOLD SUCH IN REPUTATION!!!"

 

REPUTATION-from <G1722> (en) and <G5092> (time); valued (figurative) :- dear, more honourable, precious, in reputation.

Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

 

THESE are truly men and women WORTHY of HONOR and RESPECT!!!

 

1 Corinthians 12:23 (KJV)
23  And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

 

And, as Otis Redding sang, these warriors "SOMETIMES THEY DO GET WEARY!!!"

I HOPE this old clip puts a smile on your face today!!!

 

And for all you CAREGIVERS and SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS:

 

Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
9  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

 

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY!!!
