Quiet Heroes by Max Lucado Quiet heroes dot the landscape of our society. They don’t wear ribbons or kiss trophies; they wear spit-up and kiss boo-boos. They don’t make the headlines, but they do sew the hemlines and check the outlines and stand on the sidelines. You won’t find their names on the Nobel Prize short list, but you will find their names on the homeroom, carpool, and Bible teacher lists. They are parents, both by blood and deed, name and calendar. Heroes. News programs don’t call them. But that’s okay. Because their kids do … They call them Mom. They call them Dad. And these moms and dads, more valuable than all the executives and lawmakers west of the Mississippi, quietly hold the world together. Be numbered among them. Read books to your kids. Play ball while you can and they want you to. Make it your aim to watch every game they play, read every story they write, hear every recital in which they perform. Children spell love with four letters: T-I-M-E. Not just quality time, but hang time, downtime, anytime, all the time. Your children are not your hobby; they are your calling. Your spouse is not your trophy but your treasure. Don’t pay the price David paid. Look ahead to his final hours. To see the ultimate cost of a neglected family, look at the way our hero dies. David is hours from the grave. A chill has set in that blankets can’t remove. Servants decide he needs a person to warm him, someone to hold him tight as he takes his final breaths. Do they turn to one of his wives? No. Do they call on one of his children? No. They seek “for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel… and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her” (1 Kings 1:3-4). I suspect that David would have traded all his conquered crowns for the tender arms of a wife. But it was too late. He died in the care of a stranger, because he made strangers out of his family. But it’s not too late for you. Make your wife the object of your highest devotion. Make your husband the recipient of your deepest passion. Love the one who wears your ring. And cherish the children who share your name. Succeed at home first.

* Ask God to remind you that your words are powerful. *Give thanks that you can change the way you feel by changing your words. *Ask God to help you hold your tongue at times when it is best to remain silent. *Pray that no corrupting words come out of your mouth. *Thank God for the gift he has given to name things and ask for his help in using this power for good. *Declare your desire to speak words of life all the days of your life.”

Food for thought this morning! Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Try and build someone up today! Love one another!

May this be your theme song this week!

“Ask God to reveal the negative self-talk that clutters your thoughts. Pray for the wisdom to control your thoughts. Thank God that his mercies are new every morning and every moment of the day. Ask God to help you embrace your true identity rather than your insecurities. Declare that you are not your thoughts. Ask God to help free you from the masks you wear. Praise God that he works all things for your good” Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Special thanks to all... we are stronger together!

I want to apologize to everyone trying to watch the live feed. I know it was hard to hear. We are working in finishing the new building and now that we have The plumbing and A/C issues fixed we will be finishing the cry room in the next couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone who attempted to lend a hand. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time of transition. And for reflecting Christ like love.

5 points to pray on this week- “Ask God to bring clarity to the specific areas he wants to transform in your lives. Pray for God to strengthen you as you rise up against what’s been holding you back. Declare that the way things have been are not the way things will be going forward. Ask for greater understanding on how your words, your thoughts, and your actions have been leading to life—or destruction—for you and those around you. Declare war on your tendency to sabotage yourself.” https://youtu.be/Miv3kRfoWZ8
