Pray for rain.

                        Please pray for rain for the USA. This summer has been especially dry. Thank you!   “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them,    then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance." -1 Kings 8:35-36

Big Sister, Little Sister

This is a nice children's book about two sisters. I enjoyed the illustrations in it as well.  This is my little sister. :-) I am happy to be her big sister and get the opportunity to influence her life for Christ.  It is such a big responsibility, as she looks up to me and copies my words, and things I do. I need to make sure my example is worthy of being imitated. It is humbling to think about.  If you have little sisters and brothers, (or friends who are younger Christians) I encourage you to keep following Christ and letting HIM shine through your life and actions. They are watching!   " And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what  is  that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." -Romans 12:2 "At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”  Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,  and

Psalm 147

Praise the  Lord ! Praise the  Lord , O my soul! 2  While I live I will praise the  Lord ; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3  Do not put your trust in princes, Nor  in a son of man, in whom  there is  no help. 4  His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. 5  Happy  is he  who  has  the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope  is  in the  Lord  his God, 6  Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that  is  in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7  Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The  Lord  gives freedom to the prisoners. 8  The  Lord  opens  the eyes of  the blind; The  Lord  raises those who are bowed down; The  Lord  loves the righteous. 9  The  Lord  watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. 10  The  Lord  shall reign forever— Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the  Lord ! ~Psalm 14
