Just think with me.
What you have that a $ or a million can't buy.
Your happy, healthy marriage
the children, gifts of God, priceless
the health, the peace, the blessed assurance of Jesus.
the promise of eternity in heaven, as born again believers.
Praise the Lord.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
President Lincoln, President Truman, President Regan and the President Bush's have be strong advocates of the National Day of Prayer.
President George Washington, a large man, spent much time on his knees in prayer for America and seeking the divine guidance of the Creator.
I was with the Chamber of Commerce and the Ministerial Fellowship for prayer this AM at 7.
I at 10 AM was on the Stone County Courthouse lawn praying.
I've been home praying this afternoon.
I'm fixing to leave to go to a Community Prayer meeting for our nation at 6:30 at the Crane Assembly of God.
Pray and pray some more.
Before we pray we need to be in God's Word, knowing the will of God, how to pray.

Rain, sunshine, God is good and He knows
Praise the Lord, He knows, for man leans on his understanding, and not the wisdom of God unfortunately to often.
My calendar for May is more crowded this year, than a Christmas calendar. Commencements, Baccalaureates, funerals, hospital situations, Mother's Day, Senior Citizen Community/Church fellowship, several meetings in regard to pandemic/crisis/storm situations.
Pray, prepare, and go into the fields that are white unto harvest.

He did it just for you, Max Lucado
When God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. Imprisoned in flesh. Restricted by weary-prone muscles and eyelids. For more than three decades, his once limitless reach would be limited to the stretch of an arm, his speed checked to the pace of human feet.
I wonder, was he ever tempted to reclaim his boundlessness? In the middle of a long trip, did he ever consider transporting himself to the next city? When the rain chilled his bones, was he tempted to change the weather? When the heat parched his lips, did he give thought to popping over to the Caribbean for some refreshment?
If ever he entertained such thoughts, he never gave in to them. Not once. Stop and think about this. Not once did Christ use his supernatural powers for personal comfort. With one word he could’ve transformed the hard earth into a soft bed, but he didn’t. With a wave of his hand, he could’ve boomeranged the spit of his accusers back into their faces, but he didn’t. With an arch of his brow, he could’ve paralyzed the hand of the soldier as he braided the crown of thorns. But he didn’t.
Want to know the coolest thing about the coming?
Not that he, in an instant, went from needing nothing to needing air, food, a tub of hot water and salts for his tired feet, and, more than anything, needing somebody—anybody—who was more concerned about where he would spend eternity than where he would spend Friday’s paycheck.
Not that he kept his cool while the dozen best friends he ever had felt the heat and got out of the kitchen. Or that he gave no command to the angels who begged, “Just give the nod, Lord. One word and these demons will be deviled eggs.”
Not that he refused to defend himself when blamed for every sin since Adam. Or that he stood silent as a million guilty verdicts echoed in the tribunal of heaven and the giver of light was left in the chill of a sinner’s night.
Not even that after three days in a dark hole he stepped into the Easter sunrise with a smile and a swagger and a question for lowly Lucifer—“Is that your best punch?”
That was cool, incredibly cool.
But want to know the coolest thing about the One who gave up the crown of heaven for a crown of thorns?
He did it for you. Just for you.
