Glass of Milk

GLASS OF MILK

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.



He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.



Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water! . She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe…

The Wallet



The Wallet

As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years.

The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on…

Allow God to shape you

Allow God to shape you



"We are the clay, and You our potter."

Isaiah 64:8 NKJV

Imagine a beautiful china teacup saying: "I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was just a cold, hard, colorless lump of clay. One day the potter picked me up and said, 'I could do something with this.' Then he started to put pressure on me and change my shape. I said, 'What are you doing? That hurts. Stop!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Then he put me on a wheel and began to spin me…

MEDITATE ON THE WORD OF THE LORD DAY AND NIGHT

MEDITATE ON THE WORD OF THE LORD DAY AND NIGHT



(Psalm 1)

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season

And its leaf does not wither;

And in whatever he does, he…

Your will or God's will

Your will or God's will



We all seem to want everything our way, but we can not have it our way, our life does not belong to Burger King, but to God, God has His certain will for us.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. " Matthew 7:21



We try to make our will God's will by turning the bible around to fit our wants, knowing that God did not not want it that way. We must… Continue

Shay: God's Plan

Shay: God's Plan

At a fund-raising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the school's students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question. "Everything God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son?" The audience… Continue

Struggle as a Godly person

Struggle as a Godly person



Psalms 73:1-28



A psalm of Asaph.

1Surely God is good to Israel,

to those who are pure in heart.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;

I had nearly lost my foothold.

3 For I envied the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 They have no struggles;

their bodies are healthy and strong. [a]

5 They are free from the burdens common to man;

they are not plagued by human ills.

6… Continue

Inspirational Story " The Old Man and the Dog "

The Old Man and the Dog

By Catherine Moore



"Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!" My father yelled at me. "Can't you do anything right?"



Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle.



"I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at me when I'm driving."





My voice was measured and… Continue

Seeking God in a New Year

Seeking God in a New Year





If Jesus needed to pray the first thing in the morning, what about us? The Bible says,

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” I Cor. 10:31

"Seek first the kingdom of God..." Matt. 6:33

If you always seek first in life to glorify and honor God you won’t go very wrong in life. There are three basic priorities that I believe every Christian should have in life. If 2010 is to be great – you need to… Continue
