Thought for the Day: Looking like a Christian

A little old Jewish lady is flying out of New York City on her way to Miami Beach. She looks at the businessman sitting next to her and asks him, “Excuse me sir, but are you Jewish?”

The man responds politely, “No, ma’am, I’m not Jewish.”

After a little while she again queries him. “You’re really Jewish, aren’t you?”

Again he responds, “No, ma’am, I am not Jewish.”

Barely 10 minutes later, the little old lady asks him once more, “Are you sure you’re not Jewish?”

To which, in exasperation and in a final effort to shut her up, he replies, “OK. Yes, ma’am, I am Jewish.”

“Funny,” she says, looking puzzled. “You don’t look Jewish!”

Makes me wonder. If anyone approached me and asked me, “Are you a Christian?” and I answered, “Yes”, would they be inclined to say, “Funny, you don’t look like a Christian”?

I’m not talking about looking like the world’s stereotype of a Christian — a sour-looking guy with a scowl on his face, not enjoying life at all. I merely wonder if my Christianity is something that can be seen by the people who see me every day. I know what I believe, but is that belief translating into action? Can anyone tell?

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

Do you look like a Christian?

Have a great day!

Sadie Goad Worley

(May 16, 1917 – March 31, 2012)

A resident of Greensburg, she died at 11:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at her home. She was born May 16, 1917 in Hickory Flat, MS and was 94 years of age. She is survived by her 2 sons, Jerry Lynn Worley, Wilmer and Ellis Kyle Worley, Kentwood; 5 sisters including a special sister, Mary G. Capace, Baton Rouge, Elsie Johnson, Denham Springs, Shirley Seal, Jackson, Lafolia Davis, Silver Creek, MS and Elbie Brumfield, Norwood; a brother, Paul Allen McCreary, Denham Springs; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Mug & Muffin

All ladies and girls are invited to attend Mug & Muffin at FBC, Kentwood morning at 10:00.  You are invited to bring a dozen muffins to share and a mug to use that morning.  Special guests will be Jennie, Mallory, and Madison Hatchel who will share about missions and answer your questions about their mission experienced as they work with the Roma (Gypsies).  You don’t have to be a member of FBC, Kentwood to attend.

Thought for the Day: As old as the Hills

The census taker knocked on the lady’s door. She answered all his questions except one. She refused to tell him her age.

“But everyone tells their age to the census taker,” he said.

“Did Miss Maisy Hill, and Miss Daisy Hill tell you their ages?” she asked.

“Certainly,” he replied.

“Well, I’m the same age as they are,” she snapped.

The census taker simply wrote on the form, “As old as the Hills.”

You may have heard that our nation’s oldest person, a 113-year-old woman who witnessed the aftermath of the great San Francisco earthquake, died in April. The world’s oldest person in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group, is a Japanese man, who is 115. The oldest person ever on record was a Frenchwoman who was 122 when she died in 1997. All of these could easily be described with the phrase, “As old as the hills.”

But they are all babies when compared with Methuselah. You recognize his name. He’s known in the Bible for one thing — being the oldest person mentioned. 969 years old! That’s a lot of years. And I think it’s sad. Not that he was so old, but because that’s what he is known for. He’s not known for his great faith, for his moral courage, or for his righteousness. He’s known for being old.

In fact, if you do the math, you come up with an interesting fact — Methuselah died the year it started flooding. Was it just a coincidence, or was Methuselah one of the many who perished in that judgment of God? We don’t know.

I just pray that some day I’ll be remembered, not for the number of years I lived upon this earth, but for the way that I lived while I was here.

“The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.” (Proverbs 16:31)

Have a great day!

Mrs. Grace Helen Smith is home from Hood’s, but will be going to North Oaks Monday.  Pray she has a good weekend.  Mr. Kenneth Felker is not feeling his best.  Please pray for them.

Barrett Travis

Thanks for the phone calls and prayers for Barrett .We are at home ,he has a case on his right arm and leg ,he is having to use a walker,but everything is going to be better now.Dr. Robinson is the best.  (Ruby Travis)

Dr. Derry Magee

Derry is doing well.  A couple of weeks ago, he had an ischemia colitus which required a colonoscopy at the CS Medical Center.  He does not have any cancer in the colon and the diverticuli looks the same as it did in 2007.  He is now back at the Isle and is in therapy full swing.  He is able to hold a ball in his left hand and can squeeze it with each finger.  His left arm and hand are being restored.  The focus in OT is to strengthen the arm so that he can pick up things, etc. Speech therapy works on his face which strengthens his facial muscles.  At times you cannot tell that he had a stroke that  affected his left side in the face.

Derry and I are so excited that my sisters, Bobbie, Elaine, and Jan are coming next Thursday and stay until Sunday.  The Isle is giving Derry a three-day and two nights pass beginning next Friday morning.  My sisters will be able to visit with him at length and provide assistance for me.  Patrick and Jennifer are cooking a wonderful meal for Saturday which includes Derry’s favorite, crawfish etoufee (sp.)   We plan to have a wonderful celebration and family time at our home.  I will return him to the Isle Sunday evening.

 Derry gave Steve his green truck.  Steve and Nita are flying to CS on April 20  and remain a few days before starting their journey back to Miami.

 The Isle will let us know in a week or so when he will be discharged–maybe 2-3 weeks.  He is making such large strides in his recovery that it might be sooner.  He walked on the walker yesterday for 12 minutes.  He rode the Nu-step for 24 minutes using the left hand and arm for three minutes.

In Christ!

 Thought for the Day: A faithful saying
  A FAITHFUL SAYING

WIFE:          “There’s trouble with the car. It has water in the
carburetor.”

HUSBAND:  “Water in the carburetor?  That’s ridiculous.”

WIFE:          “I tell you the car has water in the carburetor.”

HUSBAND:  “You don’t even know what a carburetor is.  I’ll check it
out.  Where’s the car?”

WIFE:          “In the pool.”

That gives a whole new meaning to the term “flooding the engine”!  There are some things that are so obvious you don’t have to be an auto mechanic to be certain of them!  And there are some things in the Bible that are so obvious that you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to be certain of them!

Five times in the “Pastoral Epistles”, Paul uses the phrase “faithful saying”.  It indicates something you can be absolutely certain of, without question, beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Here’s one of them:

“This is a faithful saying:
For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny
Himself.”
(2 Timothy 2:11-13)

Praise be to our God who not only gives us “faithful sayings”, but who himself is “faithful”, one who can be trusted to keep his word, and in whom we have the ability to place all our confidence!

Have a great day!

Thought for the Day: The best praying you ever did

Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a
telephone repairman worked nearby.

“Kneeling is definitely best,” claimed one.

“No,” another contended. “I get the best results standing with my hands
outstretched to heaven.”

“You’re both wrong,” the third insisted. “The most effective prayer
position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor.”

The repairman could contain himself no longer. “Hey, fellas, ” he
interrupted, “the best prayin’ I ever did was hangin’ upside down from a
telephone pole!”

Many of you can relate to that. The times when prayer has been most
meaningful are those times when we have been most in need of God’s help.
Times when we were helpless. Times when we were powerless. Times when we
realized how inadequate we were, and how much we had to rely on God’s
power and goodness.

“O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before you.
Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry. For my soul is
full of troubles, and my life draws near the grave…” (Psalm 88:1-3).

In your hour of deepest need, may you offer your most meaningful prayers.

Have a great day!
