Fathers Day..........

I want to say happy fathers day to all fathers today. And I bow to my amazing Father, my God!

I lost my father to Alzheimer's a little over 11 years ago. Yesterday, Flag Day, would have been his 91st birthday. I miss him so. His quick smile, great sense of humor and his love for God, his country and his family. It's easy for me to love God because I had such a loving father!

Thank you Daddy! I'm glad it's just.......see ya later and not good-bye!

What if God hired you..............

to be His advertising agency!

How would you go about 'selling' faith to others

Is the simple "I AM" a good slogan?

And where would you start..... TV and then adds?




How about some good magazine ads? Something friendly and refreshing?!?







Or how about a little humor to get their attention?!?






Or something that tugs are your heart and makes your mouth water at the same time?






Or should we just try and scare the public.....

'Welcome to eternity......smoking or non-smoking?....'






I've always liked....God is Love!



I just watched 'Oh, God' a few days ago, the one with George Burns and John Denver and during a conversation, God tells John Denver to 'go ahead, check it out, I'll wait----'


I wonder how many times God has waited for me? He has an eternity to wait, but we don't....75...85...95 years....but we never know maybe only minutes, days, weeks, months


Religion is easy.....it is spelled F A I T H . People are trying to prove some of the things in the Bible....what good is that? God wants us to trust and believe and have faith!


It's that easy...and just spread the word....


God wants us to be a messenger



God created.




Jesus--

born to a virgin

healed the sick

raised the dead

turned water into wine

tempted but never sinned

died on the cross

rose from the dead

ascended into Heaven


John Denver told God 'we need help' and God's answer was (George Burns) 'that's why I gave you each other'

God gave us freedom of choice, that's what makes our choice to love and honor Him a great joy to Him.

I pray this gives you some things to think about.

Would YOU be found GUILTY????

I heard someone ask one time, 'If you where put on trial for being a Christian, would you be found guilty?' I've been pondering that for awhile. I even stopped wearing a Cross necklace, that I love to wear, so that I could be found 'guilty' only on my actions!

How many people would testify that you treated them in a Christian manner?

Can they use Matthew 25:35-40
(Jesus speaking)35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.'
37 "Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?'
40 "And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,* you were doing it to me!'


So forget the 'bumper stickers', the cross necklaces, the cross danglie earrings, the 'WWJD' bracelets and go out into the world and try to do something everyday that would mark you as a Christian!

Because, one of these days, you will be judge by these standards at the Pearlie-gates...........

Matthew 10

32 "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.



OR

Matthew 25

23 "The master said, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!'

Do you know what you will hear? Do you know where your eternity is? Oh, there is an eternity.....one is Paradise and one is hell! It's never to late as long as there is breath in your body!

Will you be found guilty? I will!
