A Rare Exchange - by Steve L. Conley
|
|
It was so rare; I could not remember ever seeing anything like it. I was standing close to the register when I heard the lady say. "These are the wrong size; I would like to see if you have another size in the same shoe." I looked up to see a lady standing next to her daughter; the daughter appeared to be in her early twenties.

Hindrances to Prayer – Distractions - by Petey Prater
|
|
The phone rings incessantly. The kids are vomiting. I'm angry with my husband. A friend has a flat tire and is delayed arriving for my meeting.
My week ran smoothly until this morning. But today, prayer meeting morning, chaos reigns and prayer is derailed by distractions.
What distractions keep you from prayer?

A Higher Call: Accountability in Your Walk - by April O'Brien
|
|
A mom's world sometimes seems larger than life, somehow distorted by the daily spills and potty training sessions, and we feel distant from our Christian community. I recall many days as a new mom feeling lonely, being more accustomed to spending long periods of time outside the home with other adults. I often wondered if I was an unusual case—perhaps those women who were "born mothers" never pondered such dilemmas. This is when we most need to reach out for another mom’s wisdom and encouragement, not retreat back into our world at home.

It’s pretty heavy the amount of pressure that comes when you think you’re the one that is providing for your family. Look at our husbands (Christian husbands even), if you ask them how they feel about the family finances, most would sigh and say, “it can be stressful when you’re trying to provide for your family.”

Jesus, let me take care of this one...

We say, "Jesus, you are Lord of my life", then in the same breath we fret about the loss of our job and where we'll work next.
|
How often do you let people know you have a need in your life ?

The bible is a handbook for life. Within its living pages we find amazing accounts of Gods creativity. There are stories within it of His mighty hand and loving grace.
