Relax Sunday

I was going to do something totally different with this today until I read hon's post at God is Our Love. This is when I realize God is pretty much demanding that we get this word spread around amongst all Christians.

What is the best way to lead people to the Lord?

That is easy, but we often forget and give off a false message.

The best way to lead people to the Lord is by "Our" actions. The way we behave, treat others, act in public etc. is what people look at. If they see loving individuals that are kind, caring, loving, show compassion and all those good things, they are going to say, "Wow! Why are they so different?" Chances are, you will be approached and asked how you do it. Or they will know and tell you they want to get to know your God! There's the open doors.

So when we are out and about, look for ways to show kindness. Our Pastor's wife, Pastor Connie is one who leads by example. She loves to meet as many people as possible and strike up a conversation. If she sees someone who seems to be down, having a bad idea, what ever the situation will try to strike up a conversation and show compassion in hopes to help them out. Her goal is to have them relaxed and smiling by the time she leaves. How awesome is that?

This is exactly what we need to be doing. It catches on. It makes people wonder. A show of kindness can be done in so many ways. So what I'm asking for is come Monday to leave one suggestion or a list of suggestions/ideas that are acts of kindness that we can all be doing. I will do the same. I don't know how to do the linky thing, so leave me a message here that you are going to do this, then I will link you to the post.

Let's make a difference and lead the lost to our Awesome God!!! God Bless and may you all have a glorious, peaceful, relaxing Sunday!

Relax Sunday

Today I'm going to do this a little bit differently. I started the the series of Faith and Trust and this will build from it.

Trust in the Lord our God that He will provide an give you a wonderful day. Have Faith in the Lord that He will lead you to do the right things.

Relax today in His love and spread that love. Hug your children/grandchildren. Tell them how much you love them and that you thank the Good Lord for them. If you family isn't close by, call them and tell them how much you love them, and how thankful you are for them.

Take time to pray, tell Him how much you love Him and How it's all for Him.

Relax and let Him hold you and walk with you. Stay in His presence and have faith and trust that your day will be restful and relaxing. For without faith and trust in Him, your days become disheveled.

I hope you all have a beautiful relaxing Sunday and remember to include Him in your day! After all, He is the one that gave us this day of rest. May the Lord our God pour out His blessings upon you today and always. May He give you strength and wisdom to carry you through. May the love He has for us shine through us and overflow unto others. Make and ripple and watch it grow and grow.

Remember to always P.U.S.H. Love Him, Love everyone, even your enemies.

I leave you with: Luke 6:27-36 (NKJV)

27 "But I say to you who hear; Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,"

28 "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you."

29 "To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either."

30 "Give to everyone who asks of you, and from him who takes away your goods do no ask them back."

31 "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise."

32 "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them."

33 " And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same."

34 "And if yo lend to those that from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back."

35 "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the un-thankful and evil."

36 "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful."

Relax, let the sun shine in your heart! Many hugs, lots of love, and blessings to you all!!!
