~+~ Bless my friends~+~
Feb 28, 2008 | 2:13AM
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer

G U I D A N C E
This is amazing that someone even thought of this!
Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance .
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else. There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance!

When I Call on Jesus – Storms of Life
When everything is calm and going well in our lives, we often don’t think to call on Jesus. We feel in control of our lives, and we can cope with what comes along.
We all know the storms of life and the uncertainties will come.
- Financial – redundant over spending, investment crashes, mortgage rates going up
- Emotional – relationship break ups, loss of a loved one, difficulties with friends or co-workers
- Spiritual storms – people looking for meaning and purpose in life, experiencing a faith crisis
For many people, there is a loss or lack of control in their lives that will drive them to compromising choices. With this turmoil often comes the feeling of being out of control and with no direction.
When I Call on Jesus – An Biblical Example
“That day when evening came, he [Jesus] said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side.’ Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don't you care if we drown?’ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’ They were terrified and asked each other, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!’” (Mark 4:35-41).
When the winds came up and tossed the boat about, the disciples were afraid. They wondered if they would die! They missed the whole point -- Jesus was with them all the while. He wanted His disciples to call on Him.
Like the disciples, in the midst of these storms, we can call on Jesus to bring calm, serenity, and peace of mind.
- If you think your situation is hopeless -- call on Jesus.
- If you cannot see your way through -- call on Jesus.
- If you feel totally overwhelmed -- call on Jesus.
- If you feel you are the worst person on the earth -- call on Jesus.
- If you feel no one loves you and nobody care for you -- call on Jesus.
The disciples called on Jesus because they wanted to be reassured that He loved them. Just like us, we want to be reassured that we are important, that we matter to someone, that we make a difference, and that others care for us. When we call on Jesus, He may not remove the obstacles in our way, but He will walk through them with us.
