Cherish

Never take for granted who you are and what God has placed in you.

Always cherish what's within and keep it pure and protected

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”

1 Timothy 4:12-16 KJV http://bible.com/1/1ti.4.12-16.kjv

Times to cherish...

Its really hard to grasp but I cannot believe that the holidays are almost here. Pumpkins, holiday sales, christmas lights, turkey, etc....all these things are beginning to show up in our commercials, at the stores, in the magazines and more. Everything around is reminding us that the season is upon us. I want to encourage us all, not to take this time for granted. Do not let it pass by. It is a time for family, friends and loved ones. Statistics show that during times like this, suicide rates grow rapid. But we HAVE to refuse to let this be our testimony, AMEN! Be an agent of peace, love, patience, joy, compassion, mercy, hospitality and grace. Exercise it with everything you have. It is important to show these attributes, and not just talk about them. You'll find that all people need is a little time, a little listening to and a little caring.
