Sorry looks back,

Faith looks up!


The Greatest Man in History

December 14, 2007

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet  He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!
If you believe in God and in Jesus
Christ His Son … Do not ignore him.
If you ignore Him, just remember that
Jesus said …
‘If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven

“Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.”

December 8, 2007

                   
       This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:        I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in
       traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter
       and die – I barely managed to coast, cursing, into a gas station,
       glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a
       somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn’t even turn
       over. Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the
       “quickie mart” building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice
       and fell into a Gas pump, SO I got out to see if she was okay.

       When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs
       than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really
       haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I
       helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a
       nickel.    At that moment, everything came into focus for
       me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff
       with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading
       $4.95.

       I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just
       kept saying “don’t want my kids to see me crying,” so we stood on
       the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to
       California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I
       asked, “And you were praying?” That made her back away from me a
       little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, “He
       heard you, and He sent me.”

       I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump
       so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fuelling,
       walked to the next door McDonald’s and bought 2 big bags of food,
       some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave
       the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we
       stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.

       She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her
       boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends
       meet. She knew she wouldn’t have money to pay rent Jan 1, and
       finally in desperation had finally called her parents, with whom she
       had not spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California and said
       she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.

       So she packed up everything she owned in the car She told the kids
       they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were
       going to live there.

       I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her
       for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said,
       “So, are you like an angel or something?”

       This definitely made me cry. I said, “Sweetie, at this time of year
       angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses
       regular people.”

       It was so incredible to be a part of someone else’s miracle. And of
       course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away
       and got me home with no problem. I’ll put it in the shop tomorrow to
       check, but I suspect the mechanic won’t find anything wrong.

        Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the
       flutter of their wings.

        Psalms 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain
       thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”


Legacy

The true legacy of a man is not measured by wealth or possessions, but by how many people he has helped, how much love he has given, and what others think of him. - Richard Berger
