Counting On You!!! 5/10/26
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!
James 1:2–3
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
1 Corinthians 12:25–27 (KJV 1900)
25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (KJV 1900)
12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Believe it or not!!?? ALL the above Scriptures tie easily together!!!
DID YOU READ THEM PRAYERFULLY/THOUGHTFULLY???
If not, PLEASE take the time and effort to read again........ TOGETHER!!!
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for my absence these past few weeks and months!!
It is difficult, to say the least, to help others when oneself is in the struggle to “keep the FAITH!!!”
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PRAYERS YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR US-ESPECIALLY LITTLE AMANDA!!!
Words cannot adequately express my heartfelt appreciation!!!!
Amanda has been hospitalized four times in the last five months with aspiration pneumonia, sepsis, and other issues. It is and has been life or death situations.
Of course, she is AWAKE now-time 1:50 AM and as such, I take this AWAKE time to finally try to post a sermon. I am also VERY grateful she is AWAKE!! AMEN!!??
As I lay AWAKE these past few hours, God brought back to my spirit and mind a little cartoon I had glanced at on FB earlier.
It was a small picture of three people walking in line, each person grasping a strong rod above their heads. One after another in lockstep.
As they trans-versed a dangerous path high on a mountain trail SUDDENLY the lead character encountered a cleft in the road.....
BUT because he had a tight grip on the strong rod in his raised hands the strength of the two fellows behind him kept him from falling to his death!!
Of course, right behind the person the second, and the third, also encountered the same fate, and, AGAIN, because they too held on and relied on the other, (THE THREE FOLD CORD) they all were able to keep from FALLING!!!!!
NOW re-reread AGAIN the above Passages of God's Holy WORD together!!!!
WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER!!!
WE ALL NEED TO “PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER!!!!!”
It may not be YOU in need today but most assuredly one day soon enough it will be!!!
I have been on BOTH SIDES of the “food bank table.” I have been the ONE in need of assistance and I have also been on the other side-THE ONE WHO HELPS SUPPLY.
I strongly prefer the GIVING side!!!
Acts 20:35 (KJV 1900)
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
In closing I well remember the first time we went to the hospital with Amanda-way back in January.
I saw on FB a friend of mine whom I had not seen in many years was entering a hospital In Tennessee for major surgery.
He simply typed-”PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!”
I simply replied “YES!”
His quick response startled me with his heart-felt response...................
He wrote, “I WAS COUNTING ON YOU TO PRAY FOR ME!!!!!”
I WAS COUNTING ON YOU!!!!!
Can others COUNT ON YOU AND I????????
SELAH-THINK ON THIS!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!
