Howdy Folks and Good Day!


Thank you so much to those of you who took the time to pray for the people of Bangladesh or to give financially to World Vision’s efforts to provide emergency relief!   Your prayers and assistance are so much appreciated!!!

Many folks were still out of the office yesterday so here’s a quick recap…

Bangladesh was hit with an enormous category 5 (then 4) cyclone on November 15th and is currently in a state of emergency.  They desperately need our help.  Mark and I are especially concerned for our sponsor child, Sarmin, and her family who live in one of the hardest hit areas.   We are requesting your assistance in the form of prayers or even financial gifts to World Vision who is already working in the area to provide aid.

It’s hard to fathom, but the situation in Bangladesh is even more disastrous than when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.  They truly need all the assistance they can get and their country’s leaders have called for help globally.

Here are just a few ways you can help:

1.    Pray for the people of Bangladesh and for the World Vision crews and other rescue workers trying to help the millions of people affected.

2.    Make a monetary donation for emergency relief.  You can do so right now with the following link:  www.worldvision.org/CycloneAid

3.  Sponsor a child for just $30 per month using the link below...  (That’s the equivalent of going out to eat or to the movies just once!)

Here’s a link with more information about the dire situation in Bangladesh as well as World Vision’s involvement.

I know this time of year has a lot of financial demands but we can all at least pray for the millions of folks affected.   No matter what our monetary circumstances are, we can all afford to ask God to bless these people and send angels to their aid.  So please, folks, take a few minutes to lift the people of Bangladesh up in prayer.  And maybe send a couple extra prayers for Sarmin as well as her family and their community.

If it’s not too much of strain, please use one of the links above to make a donation.  The money you give can literally save lives.   The majority of people affected have no insurance, no savings, and now no home.  So anything we can do really does make a tremendous difference.  THANK YOU!

I found the following quote written down on a piece of scrap paper on my desk.  I honestly can’t tell you who it’s from but it makes so much sense and it’s a great way to live life.  So I leave you with this thought:


“Love is the process for all good things.”


With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Rev. Jeanette

6.      Fuzzy Tales  -- Thanks to Gus C.

Puppy Size

"Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We've been back to this animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now since we started all of this," the mother told the volunteer.

"What is it she keeps asking for?" the volunteer asked.

"Puppy size!" replied the mother.

"Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for."

"I know...we have seen most of them," the mom said in frustration...

Just then Danielle came walking into the office

"Well, did you find one?" asked her mom. "No, not this time,"

Danielle said with sadness in her voice. "Can we come back on the weekend?"

The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed, "You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's always a supply," the volunteer said.

Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door. "Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend," she said.

Over the next few days both mom & dad had long conversations with her. They both felt she was being too particular. "It's this weekend or we're not looking any more," Dad finally said in frustration.

"We don't want to hear anything more about puppy size either," Mom added.

Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturday morning. By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for the section that housed the smaller dogs.

Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the end of the first row of cages. There was an observation window so you could see the animals during times when visitors weren't permitted.

Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically to take a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and she held each one.

One by one she said, "Sorry, you're not the one."

It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect pup. The volunteer opened the cage door and the child carefully picked up the dog and held it closely. This time she took a little longer.

"Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy! He's the one! I know it!" she screamed with joy. "It's the puppy size!"

"But it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the last few weeks," Mom said.

"No not size... the sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed," she said.

"Don't you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!"

The two women looked at each other for a moment. Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little of both.

"Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home from work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy if it sighed when I held it in my arms," she said.

Then holding the puppy up close to her face she said, "Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of his heart!"

Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes you sigh. I not only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in the caress of a sunset, the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot day.

They are the sighs of God.  Take the time to stop and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear. "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

7.      Tuesday Trivia

Failure:  Julie Andrews, having created the part of Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway smash hit My Fair Lady, lost the part in the movie version to Audrey Hepburn.

Success: Instead, Julia Andrews made her film debut in Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress.  The following year, she starred in The Sound of Music, one of the top-grossing movies of all time.

WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU ACHIEVE AND RECEIVE

In this season of reflection and gratitude many of us forget that we are here because of the Amazing Grace of our Heavenly Father.

I am so grateful for so many blessings that He has showered upon me, and has allowed me to be part of in the lives of other people.

They say "Life is a journey."  This journey could be as boring or as exciting as we want it to be.  

 I am never bored. I put myself out there.  One way or another, doors open and new dreams and visions appear.   Sometimes old dreams come to the surface again. By His Amazing Grace we are able to dream these dreams, and have these visions, and He helps direct the path that gets it all accomplished.

I came to realize a long, long time ago, that I am just a willing vessel being led to do the impossible.  I truly believe that "With God, Nothing is Impossible!"  So I continue on my life's journey, wondering what surprises He has in store for me.

Life can be exciting each and every day.

Be open to the possibilities and experiences that God has designed for you.  You never know who is out there to make your dreams and visions come true.

Thoughts are things...choose the good ones.

What you believe you achieve and receive!
