ONE DAY IN GOD'S TIME

1. Wake Up !!

Decide to have a good day.

"Today is the day the Lord hath made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it."

[Psalms 118:24]

Take a walk, life is waiting for you.


2. Dress Up !!

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.

A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.

Man looks at outward appearance;

but the Lord looks at the heart."

[I Samuel 16:7]



Lake McDonald, Glacier Park MT, Cool Spring Day



3. Shut Up!!

Say nice things and learn to listen.

God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.

"He who guards his lips guards his soul."

[Proverbs 13:3]





Lake McDonald beginning to thaw.



4. Stand Up!!...

For what you believe in.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything..

"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,

we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."

[Galatians 6:9-10]



McDonald Creek on the perfect day.



5. Look Up !!...

To the Lord.

"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."

[Philippians 4:13]


The gentle setting of life at its best.



6. Reach Up !!...

For something higher.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and lean not unto your own understanding.

In all your ways, acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your path."

[Proverbs 3:5-6]


Rush of spring in the Mountains



7. Lift Up !!...

Your Prayers.

"Do not worry about anything;

instead PRAY ABOUT

EVERYTHING."

[Philippians 4:6]



Serenity of the waters…

Of the creek that's lined with trees…

Is such a calming feeling…

And sets our mind at ease…



God's beauty is so prevalent…

Pine trees reaching high…

The waters softly ripple…

Mountain peaks reach to the sky…



The birds in the trees sing their songs…

Merrily chirping away…

As if they are trying to tell us…

It's the beginning of another day…



In awe of the surrounding beauty…

I sit on the shore and stare…

At all of the nature around me…

On the ground and in the air…



I reflect on nature's beauty…

A tear glistens in my eye…

I say a thank you for blessings we have…

To our awesome God on high…

You never gave up on me

by William A. Predeau



I often said you didn’t exist
Because my eyes wouldn’t see
I may have given up on you lord
But you never gave up on me

When troubles happened in my life
I would hang my head and cry
You let these happen to me
And at times I wondered why

I was quick to say if there was a God
He wouldn’t let these happen to me
I may have given up on you lord
But you never gave up on me

At many times during my life
When the troubles were hard to bear
I forgot the teachings of my youth
And said you were not there

I’ve heard your word again dear Lord
And my eyes they finally see
I thank you every day of my life
That you never gave up on me

A TRIBUTE TO THE ONES WHO GAVE THERE LIFE FOR US.

This is the time to remember all the ones we lost.
A lot of people may not think that these people gave there life for us. But they did.


We were strong before.
So we need to remember them. We also need to remember their family.


Silent Night At WTC


SILENT NIGHT 911

(Also known as "The God Song")


You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001.


Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way home - only believe on Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to fend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name -though not all know Me.

Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.

Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well.

Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.


God (author unknown)
Now we have become one strong nation

When you have a few minutes of free time just remember  these men and women who have been living like this for OUR FREEDOM. 
GOD, don't move that mountain, just give me strength to climb!
and I kept ed on praying


 
 We also need to remember the ones who died for our freedom in the past before 9-11. They are the ones who made us what we are today.
They fought for things they did not under stand. to keep us free and today they are watching over the ones who are fighting for the ones we lost and for our freedom.
