HOPE - Hold On Pray Everyday

Today we are sharing his words of encouragement for you all titled H.O.P.E. - Hold On Pray Everyday.

 

Let us reflect on Romans 15:13. The Apostle Paul was writing to the church in Rome, "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

 

To put it into perspective.. STONE SOUP - An old tale by Marcia Brown

The book shares the story of a small village filled with many poor people and many who didn't share with others because they had very little. The village was visited on day by a visitor who was hungry from his long journey. He went door to door asking for food and was sad to have been turned away house after house.

 

Finally, the visitor made a fire in the street and began boiling a kettle filled with water and stones. He stirred the pot as if it was filled with food and when the smoke of the fire was in the air, the villagers began to look out. A lady asked him what he was cooking and he stated he was making the most delicious pot of soup. Seeing the size of the pot, the woman asked if she could have some. The visitor tells her that although the pot is large, he doesn't have much to spare. If she goes and gets a single potato to add, then there will be enough to share. Seeing this, villager after villager came out to add to the pot of soup. After a while - the pot was so full of soup - the whole village comes together to eat.

 

The moral of this story is that more can be accomplished when we willingly work together.

 

Listening to a comedian recently who said his grandmother would remind him:

You only have 2 things to worry about:

Whether you're healthy or you're sick.

If you're healthy, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you're sick, you've got 2 things to worry about:

Whether you're going to live or you're going to die.

If you're going to live, you have nothing to worry about. But if you're going to die, then you have 2 things to worry about:

Whether you're going to heaven or you're going to hell.

If you're going to heaven, you have nothing to worry about. But if you're going to hell, you have 2 things to worry about:

original or extra crispy.

 

Going forward, everyone who chooses extra crispy - God bless you... hot & spicy has to be requested.

 

 

I notice a lot of young people like hot & spicy. As we go in peace each day, stay encouraged. Go fight the GOOD fight. Bless someone, Bless His Holy name.

 

 

Sheriff Hamp remembers his mom's last words to him as she transitioned from this earth... she told him "Son, ALWAYS PRAY."

Today, and every day, always pray and always hope.

 

Hold On Pray Everyday.

 

 

May the Lord heal our land and go in Peace.
