Praying for you:
May today be all you need it to be.
May the Peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears.
May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced.
May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered.
I pray that faith enters a new height for you;
I pray that your territory is enlarged.
I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God to fill every particle of your life now and always.
In Jesus' Name, AMEN!!!!!

Word For The Day ~ Cheryl
Wanted to share something with you that was in a book called God Calling which was given to me by a sweet christian lady. It really ministered to me! Think about it:
"It is not life and it's difficulties you have to conquer, only the self in you."
"It is not life and it's difficulties you have to conquer, only the self in you."

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
'Amazing,' he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the state trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100mph, then 110, then 120.
Suddenly he thought, 'What am I doing? I'm too old for this!' and he pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, 'Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go.'
The old gentleman paused and said, 'Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.'
'You have a good day, Sir,' replied the trooper.

A Merry Heart {Well Kinda} ~Cheryl
The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. ' Hello ? '
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
' Yes ,' whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, ' No .'
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mommy there?'
'Yes. '
'May I talk with her?'
Again the small voice whispered, ' No .'
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'
' Yes ,' whispered the child, ' a policeman '.
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'
' No, he's busy ', whispered the child.
'Busy doing what?'
' Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman ,' came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'
' A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.
'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, ' The search team just landed a helicopter .'
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...
' ME .'
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
' Yes ,' whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, ' No .'
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mommy there?'

The Burning Hut ~Cheryl
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.
"God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.
"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
One of the lessons of this story is for us to keep trusting God even when it looks like the very worst thing that could happen has. God can still turn around our worst situations & make them good! We probably just don’t know how He is going to do it!!

Poem by Wanda Williams
A poem of peaceful thought. We as Christians need to announce to the world the message in this poem. With the understanding of these words souls can be won to Christ. The very breath of friends and neighbors saved for eternity. If we will just let them know what a wonderful, beautiful place the Kingdom of God is and will be for all those who commit to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Heaven Is My Home
Wanda L Williams
The time is drawing nigh
For God's children to go home.
The gates of pearl are opening
As the angles sing their song.
Weep no more my children
For the streets of gold are warm.
Your house is lit with laughter
And your family feels no harm.
There will be no more suffering
As Gabriel blows his horn.
The gates of pearl are opening
For God's children to go home.
Heaven Is My Home
Wanda L Williams
The time is drawing nigh
For God's children to go home.
The gates of pearl are opening
As the angles sing their song.
Weep no more my children
For the streets of gold are warm.
Your house is lit with laughter
And your family feels no harm.
There will be no more suffering
As Gabriel blows his horn.
The gates of pearl are opening
For God's children to go home.

Word for the Day ~ Wanda
Just a thought about how we as adults weather the storms in our life.
When lightening strikes do we look up and smile or do we cringe then run for cover.
As Christians, God's Word should never be any further than from our heart to our mouth. Prayer not fear should be the first to enter our heart and mind. With prayer comes peace and with peace a smile.
May God bless you as you weather the storms of your life and don't forget to smile. Wanda
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that
morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily
trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds
whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little
girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked
home from school and she herself feared that the electrical storm might
harm her child.
Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the
route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop,
look up and smile. Another and an other were to follow quickly and with
each the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother's car drew up beside the child she lowered the window
and called to her, 'What are you doing?' The child answered, 'I am
trying to look pretty. God keeps taking my picture.'
