SPIRITUAL CORNER

 

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life.- Luke 12 v 22

      We cannot know the future.  But we can know this: No matter what comes, we are under the loving, caring, watchful eye of our great Shepherd who also happens to be the Son of God!!

IF JESUS IS CONCERNED ABOUT FLOWERS AND BIRDS, HE CERTAINLY CARES ABOUT YOU AND ME.

$$$MONEY TALK$$$

 

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL

Recent surveys report that in the wake of the financial crisis, parents worry that their children’s future will be limited.  That is what is being addressed head on in this paragraph so that instead of living in a state of anxiety about your kids, you can act to secure their future right here right now.  Raise a child in a home where money is valued, and that child is likely to be an adult who values money.

ESTABLISH THE WORK-PAY-PURCHASE CONNECTION

When they’re between 3 and 6, your children need to learn why you work, and the purpose money serves.  Explain that the groceries in the refrigerator were bought with the money you earned. Once your child is old enough, have him join you on errands and pay the cashier.  Physically connecting to money helps us focus on what we spend.  That’s a lesson children should learn early.

                  [Excerpt from O Magazine April,2011]

HEALTH CORNER

 

OSTEOROPOSIS…is a silent and serious disease.  Even though the fracture rate for osteoroposis is much higher than the incidence of breast cancer, many women get mammograms, but very few people get bone density scans. 

The only way to prevent fractures is to diagnose and treat osteoroposis early.  There are many new treatments available which can slow its progression.

SPIRITUAL WORD

 

PATIENCE TO BE PATIENT

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I do hope- Psalm 13o v 5

Pray for the patience to endure times of trial, to keep anticipating, keep hoping, keep believing.  Pray for patience to be patient.

GOD SELDOM DOES GREAT THINGS IN A HURRY.

[OUR DAILY BREAD 5/14/11]

Comes The Dawn

 After a while you learn the subtle difference

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning

         And company doesn’t mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts

       And presents aren’t promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes open

with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today,

Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,

And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

           After a while you learn

That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,

Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure…

    That you really are strong,

And you really do have worth.

     And you learn and learn…

With every goodbye you learn.
