This is noble encouragement to all the saints; die they must, but rise they shall, and though in their case they shall see corruption, yet they shall rise to everlasting life. Christ's resurrection is the cause, the earnest, the guarantee, and the emblem of the rising of all His people. Let them, therefore, go to their graves as to their beds, resting their flesh among the clods as they now do upon their couches.
C.H. Spurgeon

!!!THAT'S GOD !!!
 
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to
talk to?
 
THAT'S GOD...He wants you to talk to Him.
 
Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like
doing something nice for someone you care for?
 
THAT'S GOD...He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.
 
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long
time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from
them?
 
THAT'S GOD...there is no such thing as "coincidence".
 
Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for,
like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a
coupon to a department store that you had just seen something you wanted but
couldn't afford?
 
THAT'S GOD...He knows the desires of your heart.
 
Have you ever been in a situation and you have no clue how it is going to
get better, but now you look back on it?
 
THAT'S GOD...He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day.
 
In all that we do we should totally give Him thanks and our blessings will
continue to multiply.
 
GOD can do a lot for us. It helps if we get out of His way!

*** Be Thankful ***
 
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
 
Be thankful when you don't know something.
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
 
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
 
Be thankful for your limitations.
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
 
Be thankful for each new challenge.
Because it will build your strength and character.
 
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
 
Be thankful when you're tired and weary.
It means you've made a difference.
 
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of
rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful
for the setbacks.
 
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way
to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your
blessings.

*** The King's Highway ***
 
Once a king had a great highway built for the members of his
kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was opened to the
public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many as
desired to participate. Their challenge was to see who could travel
the highway the best.
 
On the day of the contest the people came. Some of them had fine
chariots, some had fine clothing, fine hairdos, or great food. Some
young men came in their track clothes and ran along the highway.
People traveled the highway all day, but each one, when he arrived
at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of
rocks and debris left on the road at one spot and this got in their
way and hindered their travel.
 
At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish line
warily and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he
addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold.
he explained, "I stopped along the way to clear a pile of rocks and
debris that was blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it
all. I want you to return it to its rightful owner."
 
The king replied, "You are the rightful owner."
 
The traveler replied, "Oh no, this is not mine. I've never known
such money."
 
"Oh yes," said the king, "you've earned this gold, for you won my
contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road
smoother for those who will follow."
 
Have a Blessed Day
