Sunday Words of Encouragement June 9, 2019

We are in Illinois to visit with our son’s family. We and hey managed to get everyone to church this morning. The worship music was good and the Pastor here has a very down to earth preaching style.

The message today started a new series for them: The Lesser Knowns. He is preaching about characters from the Bible who are “lesser known”. His first lesson is from Mark 12:41-44 about the Widow. Her name isn’t known but she is still important.
Jesus was watching (v41.). He is always watching.
She was vulnerable as a widow. Others gave out of wealth, but she gave all out of her poverty (v44).
It wasn’t about her.
She was committed to kingdom principles.
She caught the need to help others.
2 Corinthians 9:6.
She revealed her heart by giving generously.
2 Corinthians 9:7.
She was committed to the community.
She was committed to contributing
She refused to make excuses. She participated.

I didn’t have a specific song jump into mind this morning, but I found this one.
Verses for Today:
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NIV)
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.


Lord, I thank You for Your provision and thank you for moving me to be a cheerful giver.

Sunday Words of Encouragement August 23, 2015

We've been blessed to have our son, d-i-l and 21/2 year old visiting since Tuesday. Then we got our daughter's three grandchildren for the weekend while she and her husband have their first weekend alone in a long time. DH has been busy cooking meals, our d-i-l has been busy cleaning and doing laundry and I have been occasionally trying to quiet the kids. :-) We had a big brunch this morning before our son and family had to hit the road. One more weekend we didn't get to church - I am missing my church family but we have felt the importance of spending time with our natural family.

This is a praise song that always makes me mindful of God's presence and holiness.
The sun cannot compare
The glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare
To stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by your blood
And its only by your mercy
Lord, I come

(Chorus)
I bring an offering
Of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves
The praises that I sing
Jesus may you receive
The honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to you
I bring an offering to you

Verses for Today:
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NIV)
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Lord - I love to give generously and I thank you for blessing me so that I can share.
