Hi Sharon -

Did you read my comments on all of your "Marty" postings?

I remember that you mentioned that you were considering posting your e-mail address on your blog...I understand that some people are skeptical about that... Blogger buddy Wanda suggested that bloggers can create a separate
e-mail address just for blogger correspondence.

Anyhow, if you are so inclined....

The e-mail address that I use for spiritual purposes is nowgloryacts@yahoo.com. If you are ever inclined, please use it.

Thank you, Sharon, for your consideration.

Sidebar: I posted a post last night called, "PUBLIC PRAISE" and one today called, "WHAT'S A BROTHER TO DO?"

Hi Sharon,

Good write-up with your Bible Pick 'Em this week.

You left an outstanding comment at Mere C.S. Lewis about your rich experience of encountering Aslan / Christ.

It's too good for a mere comment. I wanted to email you about publishing your testimony (maybe asking you to tease it out a bit more), but I wasn't able to find your email address.

I responded to your comment there, but I don't think you've seen it. Please email me back and I'll tell you what I'm thinking: samaritanxp@gmail.com

And don't feel obliged to publish this comment as I was mostly just trying to get in touch :)

Thanks,
Ken

Ken - Thanks. I'm glad you liked this post. It's amazing to me how the Lord knows everything about us - and that He loves us enough to convict us when we wander from the truth.

I'll get back to you about the C.S. Lewis comment - I'm glad that you liked what I had to say.

GOD BLESS!

MY WORD FOR 2016

GRATEFUL

Grateful: feeling or showing thanks to someone for some helpful act; appreciative of benefits received; warmly or deeply thankful; indebted; beholden.

Word origin: 1550's, "pleasing to the mind," also "full of gratitude," from obsolete adj. grate "agreeable, thankful," from Latin gratus "pleasing" – derived from the same word origin as the word "grace."

The trick to changing your behavior is to become more thankful.

The practice of gratitude involves a focus on the present moment, on appreciating your life as it is today and what has made it so.

Let us begin an eternal quest to express in new and creative ways our thanks to God.

So I'm breathing in Your grace,

And I'm breathing out Your praise.

Let our prayers be the overflow of a grateful heart to God.

Three steps in prayer:

PRAISE – praise, reverence, worship, adoration, and awe for who God is and what He does

ASK – honest, earnest, and intense requests

THANK YOU – always end with thanksgiving for everything

Pulpit commentary:

In everything give thanks.

In every circumstance – in joy and in sorrow; for everything – for prosperity and for adversity; in every place – in the house of God and on the bed of sickness.

Christians should not only be engaged in constant prayer, but in constant thanksgiving.

For this – this thankful spirit – is the will of God, His desire.

God by the gift of his Son has laid us under the obligation of perpetual thanksgiving. Our whole lives ought to be one continued thank-offering for all the blessings of redemption.

Gill's Exposition:

Thanks are to be given to him for all things…

For all temporal good things;

for our beings, the preservation of them;

for food and raiment, and all the mercies of life;

for the means of grace, the word and ordinances, and the ministers of the Gospel;

for spiritual blessings, for electing, redeeming, regenerating, adopting, pardoning, justifying, and persevering grace:

for a meetness for heaven, a right unto it, and a good hope of it;

and especially for Jesus Christ, for such a…Saviour, and advocate with the Father, as he is; and for life, peace, joy, comfort, righteousness, and salvation in him.

Thanks should be given to God in every circumstance of life; in adversity, as Job did; when not in so comfortable and agreeable a frame of soul as to be wished for…even under the temptations of Satan…since the grace of God is sufficient to bear up under them, and deliver out of them.

[Give thanks] in afflictions of every kind, since they are all for good – temporal, or spiritual, or eternal.

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is when you are missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing.

By Emma K. - Age 6

"Out of the mouth of babes..."

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Anonymous

When you are uncertain, it helps to have someone remind you what is true – someone who knows you well, who sees you, and keeps track of you – not just your body but your soul.
