Faith Forwards

What is Faithfulness?

2011-03-26T23:44:00.002-05:00

“Faithfulness means you stick to a commitment after the shine wears off… Faithfulness means you keep saying no a thousand times if you must to the temptation of cutting a corner and taking the easy way out… Faithfulness means you refuse to jump ship even when the waves of adversity are splashing over the decks of your marriage, your relationship with your children… or your relationship with

When did it happen?

2010-08-11T20:08:00.000-05:00

Saw this on my friend's Facebook, and thought it was worth sharing... "I'm in line behind a mommy holding her four yr-old son. My oldest kids are too big for me to carry now. It just dawned on me that there was a last time I picked them up. I don't know when. It happened without my knowledge that it would be the last time. If I'd known, I would've held a little tighter and a little

‎"I pray today that, as you embrace your flaws and imperfections, that you will remember and know in your deepest knowing that God is the master artist. You have been touched by his hand—that's what makes you real. It is his touch that makes you authentic, flaws and all." ―Sandi Patty

FIVE FINGER PRAYER

2010-07-21T19:39:00.002-05:00

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.' 2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the

Be still, and know that I am God...

2010-04-22T14:10:00.003-05:00

Psalm 46:10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The city was roaring with noise. Car horns blasted, construction noise filled the air, radios blared, people shouted. As the day wore on, the noise steadily increased. After a while, you adjusted. It wasn't until you were able to move into a quiet place that you realized how

Burnt Biscuits

2010-01-19T09:50:00.001-05:00

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile

Cell Phone versus Bible

2009-11-04T14:12:00.001-05:00

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text?What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?What if

Isaiah 65:24

2009-09-01T22:13:00.001-05:00

This is a story written by a doctor who worked in Africa.One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.

Maybe...

2009-06-18T22:42:00.001-05:00

Just thought I would pass this on……………1. Maybe . . .we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. 2. Maybe . . . when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for

Your love is all I ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.' They kissed, and the daughter left

When I say..."I am a Christian"I'm not shouting "I am saved" I'm whispering "I was lost"That is why I chose this way. When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride.I'm confessing that I stumble And need someone to be my guide. When I say..."I am a Christian"I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weakAnd pray for strength to carry on. When I say..."I am a Christian

I found a penny today Laying on the ground. But it's not just a penny, This little coin I've found. Found pennies come from heaven, that's what my Grandpa told me. He said Angels toss them down. Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an Angel misses you, They toss a penny down; Sometimes just to cheer you up, To make a smile out of your frown. So, don't pass by that penny When you're

Explanation of God

2008-09-17T14:53:00.001-05:00

EXPLANATION OF GOD:This was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.' I wonder if any of us could have done as well? 'One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.Another will sit beside you in the bleachers

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

2008-04-28T07:59:00.008-05:00

A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you

Focus on YOU!

2008-04-07T21:18:00.001-05:00

Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will. Don't compare yourself to anybody else. You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy.Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you!

Our Deepest Fear

2008-01-07T00:18:00.000-05:00

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, famous? Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people

A Soldier's Christmas

2007-12-07T09:23:00.001-05:00

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. When I arrived at 2:30 a.m. , the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

But I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of

Lord I ask more questions Than You ask. The ratio, I would suppose, Is ten to one. I ask: Why do You permit this anguish? How long can I endure it? What possible purpose does it serve? Have You forgotten to be gracious? Have I wearied You? Have I offended You? Have You cast me off? Where did I miss Your guidance? When did I lose the way? Do You see my utter despair? You ask: Are you Trusting

Hearts break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end. BUT... Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.

10 Principles

2007-02-16T02:51:00.000-05:00

We addressed it to God in Heaven, put two stamps on it (because, as she said, it could be a long way to heaven.) We put our

A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

There are names of 16 books of the Bible mentioned in the paragraph below. See how many you can find. I’ve highlighted one – LUKE. I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible.
