Hungry

Jesus' disciples said to him, "Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." But he answered, "You give them something to eat." - Mark 6:36-37

Have you ever been hungry, really hungry? Maybe you skipped breakfast or lunch so that by the next meal you felt starved, even shaky. Now imagine not being able to relieve that hunger.

Sometimes we take for granted that God will supply us with the "daily bread" we ask for in the Lord's Prayer. We may even think like the disciples in the Bible reading for today - that those who are hungry can go and buy something to eat if they want to. But the evening news tells the real story. Hunger is a part of our time, just as it was in Jesus' time. Even in our own neighborhoods - in my little town, in small cities, and in big cities like Dallas, Chicago, and others - people need food.

I am proud that my church provides a space for a local food pantry. In this multi-denominational ministry, we work together to feed our neighbors. We are doing what Jesus told the disciples, "You give them something to eat."

I want us always to remember Jesus' words in Matthew 25: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (verse 40).
William O. Palmer (Pennsylvania, USA)


Lord, open our eyes to see those around us who are hungry. Then touch our hearts and soften them so that we become willing to feed them. Help us to care for our neighbors in need. Amen.

God's Hands...

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
-Corrie Ten Boom

Be Fruitful...

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. - John 15:4 - 5

I chose to be stale, dry, bearing no fruit. Is it not by ones on choosing to be this way? After much time of winter life, I am budding, bearing fruit...

Could someone tell me why my playlist no longer works???

I will make a way...

Though it seems I am trapped in the Winter of life...God is far greater than I can imagine...I can't understand His ways. In sorrow and loss, as well as in joy, I always have a choice to make. I can choose to believe that He is good, and in control, and to trust Him...or I can try to manipulate every outcome and rigidly try to control my own life.

Quotes taken from Denise Jackson in her book to find "Self" and Love in only Him...

It's All About Him


I chose Hope
Hope for a better day...

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. -Isaiah 43: 16, 18 - 19

It's all about HIM

My word for Twenty Ten shall remain...Hope...as we live with it, and for it...

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

Lost, hopeless

Coming very soon...the dark place I've spent much of the last few months.
Hope, Light arrives...He's never late, always on time.
