Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!

May grace, God’s unmerited favor and spiritual peace which means peace with God and harmony, ,
unity, and undisturbedness be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

May Blessing, praise, laudation, and eulogy be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Messiah, Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!

Let us think what we do today may, very well may, effect the lives of many for years to come.

What are you doing this day to effect the lives of others, to have a Godly influence on His people?

Have you read into Titus and Timothy?

Lift others up in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ this day, for God’s Glory Alone, go that extra mile!

“If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.” Henry Ward Beecher

Advertisements often have one major goal: to make us discontented, woefully dissatisfied with who we are and what we have. Chuck Swindoll

Here’s Leslie Montgomery……

This is a subject we all need to read and remind ourselves of from time to time. TAMING THE TONGUE

I don’t know about you, but I put my foot in my mouth so much there should be the words ‘size 10’ tattooed under my tongue. It’s not about just saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, but about those dreadful little white lies, exaggerating the truth, and even, do I dare say it? Gossiping! When

it comes to holding my tongue, it’s a wrestling match I’ve lost time and time again over my short forty-five years. Why is taming the tongue so hard to do?

The Bible has a lot to say about the tongue and we find a mouthful of information in James 3:

“We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.”

I live on a quarter horse ranch and time and time again we’ve “broke” horses by putting a rein in their mouths and teaching them obedience. It takes a lot of time, patience, and perseverance. At first, the horse pulls its head down trying to loosen the pressure in his mouth. Then, if that doesn’t work, he “shakes” his head and tries to decrease the pressure by flailing its head back. And if that doesn’t work, frequently they’ll buck you right off their back. All this happens in a matter of seconds, so for the rider, there’s not a lot of time to mess around before you end up taking a trip via air, landing on the hard ground shaking your head and wondering what happened. The trainer will go through this process time and time again until something crucial occurs: the horse submits to the “breaking” process and allows the rider to guide it opposed to doing what it wants to do.

The process of “breaking” a horse reminds me of my own battle with my tongue; sometimes it can be a real fight to overcome. I can be just as resistant to being broke as any horse we’ve had on this ranch, trying to find ways to resist the pressure instead of submitting to it and allowing my mouth to be a well-spring of life instead of a stagnant water that brings spiritual death. But the truth is that the tongue can single-handedly be the most damaging part of the body if not under the direct control of the Lord. James 3:5 says, “…the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”

Verse 9 goes on to share the conflicting struggle that goes on: With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.”

One of the great things about the Bible is that it doesn’t keep you hanging. It corrects a behavior, then generally outlines what is expected of us. Such is the case in this chapter. While the author refrains from going into great detail about how our tongues can hurt other people, he does go on to talk about ways to keep peace in the body, alluding to the fact that the tongue causes chaos and separation amongst the body. If we take verse 17 and look at the standard set for our tongues, we can clearly see where the opposite would cause disharmony in the Body of Christ:

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy, and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness”.

There is only one way to get control of an out-of-control tongue, and that is in submitting (instead of resisting) the prompting of the Holy Spirit during those moments that we find ourselves with the proverbial match in our hands ready to set fire to a situation. In preparation of those moments, we can pray and ask the Lord for His strength, wisdom, words and Spirit every time we open our mouths. My prayer for all of us is that we will always be a part of the solution in the lives of those we come across and not part of the problem, that we will be well-springs of fresh water and not irritating salt water, that we will be those who build up the church and not tear it down, for it is the peacemakers who sow in peace and raise a harvest of righteousness which is Christ like.

From Roy……….

Drinking from my saucer
I’ve never made a fortune, and it’s probably too late now.

But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow

And as I go along life’s way,

I’m reaping better than I sowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven’t got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going’s tough

But I’ve got loving ones all around me,

and that makes me rich enough.

I thank GOD for his Blessings,

and the Mercies HE ‘s bestowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and the sun peeped through again.

So LORD , help me not to gripe,

about the tough rows I have hoed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings,
I’m already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

Don’t be too busy today…Share this inspiring message with friends and family.

Jan had this FUNNY BONE for us……….

RETIRED HEALTH MESSAGE

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world,
I realized that at my age I don’t really care

1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, but
4. A tortoise doesn’t run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And you tell me to exercise?? I don’t think so.

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the
eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I’m older here’s what I’ve discovered:

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.
5. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.
6. If all is not lost, where is it?
7. It’s a lot easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
8. Some days, you’re the dog; some days you’re the hydrant.
9. I wish the buck did stop here; I sure could use a few.
10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
12. It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere.
13. The world only beats a path to your door when you’re in the bathroom.
14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put them on my knees.
15. When I’m finally holding all the cards, everyone wants to play chess.
16. It’s not hard to meet expenses . . . they’re everywhere.
17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . .
I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I’m hereafter.
19. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.

20. DID I SEND THESE TO YOU BEFORE……….??????
Jan, thank you for the laughs this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Family of Jesus Christ our Lord,

Merry Christmas to you all!

We pray you had a blessed Thanksgiving, we sure did!

To all our Dear Friends here at the CUP, Grace, favor and spiritual blessings and heart peace from God the Father and the Lord Christ Jesus our Savior……..We love you all in our Lord Jesus Christ!

Yesterday Brother Jesse of Valley View Christian Preached the 9:45am service, I was there and really soaked in his message. One of the things Jesse referred to was the relationship of Paul and Timothy. The need for us to life up others for our Lord Jesus Christ, To mentor others, the future generation, our children. To carry on being Salt and Light. The love between Paul and Timothy reminds me of my relationship with Pastor Leonard Navarre, a man who continues to teach me in love. As my Dear friend Nick Hutchins says, I am a blessed man, Nick reminds me of that all the time! I am, I have many Godly people around me to pray for me and Sharon and the kids, to teach me, mentor me. That is one reason the Lord has given me and Sharon FGGAM, to raise others up, to love on others, to Teach and Mentor. I pray you have a Teacher for a Pastor, we all need Teachers in our lives until the day we go to Heaven. I pray that you have a personal relationship with your Pastor.

Brother Jesse really Preached it in love yesterday, thank you Jesse! Today Read into Titus and 1st and 2nd Timothy, you will be so blessed! You will soak in the love.

Love this quote by John Piper…….it’s the same mission we have at FGGAM……

I go man-fishing with my tackle box of treasure, cast my metered line, and make a bait of pleasure. The words of John Piper.

Years ago I was taught by Pastor Barry Dickens that is good to Boast in the Lord. This morning I want to share what people are saying about FGGAM and how it has touched their lives. We are very small, just me and Sharon and Jeannette on our web sites, Wannel Sec./Treasuerer ….but we are the little engine that is making a difference in people lives, because of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Albuquerque Businessman Richard Griffin states below, “we are just getting started” This is an entirely new season in the life of me and Sharon .Picture FGGAM as a Church without walls walking this earth, going here and there for our Lord Jesus Christ. 80% of America does not have a Church, we are Ministering to them and prayfully lining them up with a Pastor and Church and we are also ministering to people that have a Church, that may have fallen through the cracks or our discouraged. We are asking you this morning to pray about tithing to FGGAM, to help us sustain our efforts. We are here to bring forth the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ, one person at a time, through all we do in Preaching, Revivals, Counseling, Hospital visits, TV, Radio, Podcasts, The Daily CUP………Please help us sustain our Missionary efforts..as that is what we are in this new season, Missionaries for our Lord Jesus Christ.

Richard Griffin states:

Richard Griffin You have only just begun, your reach, your Ministry, your resolve can not be broken. You my good friend are a difference maker and our society needs more difference makers like you!

Javier Guttierrez had this to say about our TV program Dewey and Friends, he had just watched the program with Pastor Don Kimbro, our Thanksgiving program……….

Loved it Pastor Don is an inspiration and motivation. Me and my wife love your show God Bless you Dewey. Javier Here is a note that Carmen Wolfe Bennett posted on our Facebook this weekend………. A few years ago, I discovered that another Windom native is also living in Albuquerque New Mexico. New Mexico is Blessed to have Pastor Dewey Moede sharing the Gospel to the New Mexico air waves through radio and TV from Albuquerque. I had the privilege of meeting him in April 2012 and again in October 2012, just last month. He graduated about 9 years later than I did. His Dad was our, Bus driver, school janitor, and loved by many. I remember him very well. I can’t remember if I ever knew him while in Windom. A month ago, Dewey came to visit me while I was in VA Hospital here in ABQ. Early on Sunday morning 21 October, I was rushed to VA in serious condition by ambulance. I never knew until later how close to death I was. I was told that I had bleeding ulcers, and if I hadn’t gotten there when I did, I would have bled to death within a very short time, PROBABLY within a day or less. I was given 6 units of blood, because I was in such bad shape. I was in the hospital for a week. Dewey found out from another Windom Classmate who got the message via Facebook from my daughter in Colorado. I was so surprised and thrilled to see him. Dewey prayed with me and annointed me with oil. I think it was later that we found out how close to death I really was. I didn’t have a clue that he was coming, and I think I cried when he came. His visit meant a lot to me and deeply touched my heart. THANK YOU DEWEY! I am home from the hospital now, slowly recovering with a medical team of at least 4 people coming to see me at home almost every day. I am so grateful to be alive, and to those who prayed for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Dewey has a new ministry that I think you can find him on the internet. I think its called FOR GOD’S GLORY ALONE. You can contact him on face book, or me and I will get you the details. I can’t always get to the computer to watch it yet. Hope too soon. But I have heard him on the radio. I nicknamed him Windom’s Shining Star to Albuquerque ! He is truly God’s Messenger. Windom and Albuquerque can be very very proud of him! All these words, I pray show you that FGGAM is out and about being Salt and Light to the World, one person at a time! If you can tithe to FGGAM you can from our web site www.fggam.org or our mailing address is FGGAM PO Box 65516 Albuquerque, NM 87193. We know you have many Ministries that you are already tithing to……many ministries are in need, but all we humbly ask of you is to pray about tithing to FGGAM. if you would like more letters of Testimony about FGGAM just visit our website, Thankyou and God Bless. These words by Chuck Colson fit the message here at the CUP so perfectly today……..

‎”We are armed with faith, hope, truth, love and the good that overcomes evil. It’s a great paradox: Bearing these weapons that seem so weak, the church is the one institution in society that can provide strong moral resolve and spiritual inspiration that feeds the soul, cares for the needy, and guides those who have lost their way. It is the church that creates the character that will carry us through the historic struggle of our times. It is the church that will endure forever, even as the kingdoms of this world topple and fall.”

-Chuck Colson

Let us pray for healing for Christian Radio Broadcaster Frank Pastore…….

LOS ANGELES – Christian radio show host and ex-Major League Baseball pitcher Frank Pastore remained hospitalized in critical condition over the weekend following a motorcycle crash Monday, hospital officials said.
Pastore, 55, was suffered major head injuries Nov. 19 in a motorcycle crash on the 210 Freeway near Buena Vista Street in Duarte, according to California Highway Patrol officials.
He has remained in critical condition in an intensive care unit ever since, according to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center spokeswoman Rosa Saca.
“There hasn’t been any change in his condition,” she said Sunday.
The 55-year-old Upland resident and host of “The Frank Pastore Show” on KKLA 99.5 FM fell into a coma following the crash, family members said.

Pastore pitched at one time for the Minn. Twins. Let us pray for a miracle here! Thank You Lord!

Tony Evans

An interesting incident happened several years ago in the Goodwill Games, which were being held in Edmonton, Canada. During the 4×100 relay, a Jamaican athlete who was to run the third leg of the race for his team allowed his attention to wander as he waited for the baton to be passed.

This man happened to look up at the big screen that was televising another event and saw a friend of his getting ready to compete. The runner stared at the screen for just a few seconds, but as he did so his teammate came running up to him with the baton.

Instead of a smooth handoff, the incoming runner collided with his distracted teammate, and the race was over for the Jamaican team.

The message for us is clear. We need to stop looking at other people’s races and start running our own race. This includes keeping your focus on God instead of always looking around trying to be like someone else. God is saying to each of us, “Focus on Me, and I will establish My purpose in you.” Be the you God created you to be.

I am so thankful to Leslie Montgomery and her writings………At one time Leslie worked for Focus on the Family.

I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU! Today’s transformational devotion is: Spiritual Warfare. Since I’ve written two books on the topic, I thought I’d share a bit! Enjoy!

I’ve written two books on spiritual warfare, but I’m not one of those Christians who believe there’s a demon behind every bush. I often tell the story of a woman who blames the flat tire on her car on Satan, but the truth is, she had over 100,000 miles on those tires and they were as bald as bald can be. The truth is, the Bible tells us we fight against three things; Satan, the world, and our flesh (James 4:4; Gal 5:16,17; Eph 2:1-3). On this nineteen day of my forty day fast I can honestly say I’ve gone toe-to-toe all three over the last few weeks!
One aspect of spiritual warfare that isn’t often mentioned is testing and trials in our lives by the hand of God Himself. The Bible clearly tells us that Jesus was escorted into the wilderness by the Spirit of God to be tested. I thought it would be helpful for you to see how you can tell if the assault that’s coming against you is your flesh, the enemy of your soul, the world or God’s testing, and how to combat each one, as it’s something that I’ve incorporated into my life that helps me succeed in warfare. In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
First of all, Satan’s attacks generally include confusion, accusations, feelings of rejection, condemnation, discouragement and hopelessness. He knows your past like the back of his hand and he is an expert at reminding you of it. The good news is that believers have been given direct authority over Satan and his demons in Jesus’ name so that we can have victory and freedom.
Next, our flesh usually gives us two choices: stand firm or cave into desire. Our flesh is generally obsessive and our sin stems from a desire, craving or yearning. Matter-of-fact, James 1:14 says, “…but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”
Then there’s the world, whose attack is always external. Assaults tend to include pressure to conform to its likeness and generally feed on our senses. The answer for us in combating the world is to renounce the lies of the world-system and replace them with truth found in God’s Word. James 1:27 encourages us by saying, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:…to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
Finally, we come up against God’s testing, which never – ever has confusion as a part of it, but clarity. You know a decision needs to be made and you either chose to walk in righteousness or in disobedience. God does not tear down our identity at any time, but affirms it, and there is always a promise of spiritual growth when it comes to God’s trials because He only tests us when He knows we already know the right answer to make. Furthermore, God never tempts us to sin. James 1:13 says, “When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempted anyone…”
No matter what you are coming up against, Satan, your flesh, the world, or God’s testing, there is one verse that rings true for standing tall through them all; it’s 2 Corinthians 10:5: “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does…we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ…”
The Bible has a lot to say about what we think about, and God tells us under no uncertain terms it’s not the same as Him. Isaiah 55:8, 9 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God never leaves us to sin, but always encourages us to mature in Him and walk in righteousness. The Bible goes on to say, “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me” (1 Cor 13:11) and “Finally, brothers, 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.”
In closing, know that prayer is essential in standing against spiritual forces, trials we face, battling our flesh and the world. I honestly believe that spiritual warfare is 90% prayer and 10% hand-to-hand combat, and if you aren’t prayed up you’ll fail every time. Spiritual warfare is not a choice, it’s a given. How you respond to it is dependent upon if you are prepared, so put on your armor (Eph 6) and stand, ready to fight the good fight!

Great words from Leslie!! Thank you so much and God Bless you and yours!

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

This is our Thanksgiving CUP to you all!

We thank you all for all your love and prayers…..Kind words are like honey—-sweet to the soul and healthy for the body Proverbs 16:24

This verse just warms my heart……this is my Thanksgiving verse………

“I am he,” said Jesus. “You don’t have to wait any longer or look any further.” AMEN You will find that in verse 26 John 4 and when you go to verse 34……

Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started.”

I know I shared that yesterday with you……..but my prayer is that these verses will stick with your heart, mind and soul.

There is no better food than the Bread of Life, The Word of God.

This is our Testimony to you all this day…Thank you for your healing prayers……….

We serve an ALMIGHTY GOD, the only GOD! Sharon is healed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They took Sharon’s blood pressure three different times as this day it’s back to normal……..The Doctor even took it right before she was leaving to make sure…………heart is a okay! Irregular heart beat was because of High Blood pressure…EKG confirms……which is gone this day! As Sharon and I go forth in Ministry this is just one more miracle to testify to! We thank you all for your prayers! Believe in Godly Miracles they are happening all the time!

We believe in miracles, because we believe in God!

In this Thanksgiving CUP this year, this will be my 14th Thanksgiving CUP to have with many of you who have been here from the start. Just know that when I arise each morning to spend time in the Word and pray I also pray for you and seek the Word’s each day from our Lord Jesus Christ to share with you here at the CUP!

Lord Willing, we will be back with you Monday. If the need arises we will be sharing on Facebook and Twitter with prayer needs, as the Door’s of this Church here at FGGAM never close. We are here for you 24/7 just email us if you need us.

Today we are so blessed to have Thanksgiving messages from 4 angels, it just came to me, this CUP reminds me of the old TV series “Touched by an Angel” but we today, get touched by 4!!!!…….Karen Rowe, Shari Hardway Johnson, Leslie Montgomery, and Darlene Fick Quiring. Thank you all for your Thanksgiving CUPS! But first…………

Let us now go into prayer…………

Dewey,

Can you please send a prayer to my nieces boyfriend, Richard. He’s in the hospital and they are going to remove a tumor in his brain. Please pray he makes a good recovery. It would be greatly appreciated.
Roger Vallejos

We are praying for healing for Richard. I read John 4 verse 26 to Roger, just that one verse gave him peace, there is much peace in the Word of God, the only peace.

Marilyn Morrison 85 years of age was to undergo surgery for a broken leg and hip yesterday. Please pray for healing.

My dearest Dewey….

Thank goodness Sharon is doing well. I totally understand what you say, we often have the same trouble with my brother Conrad, whom I know you met at my (and Peter’s) wedding. Also a nurse. Also next to impossible to get him to take half as good care of himself as he lavishes on his patients. God be praised however, that our Holy Father continues to watch over our loved ones! Happy to hear Sharon is better.

Sadly today, however, I am writing because our family is in need of prayer this Holiday week.

Conrad, his lovely wife, Margarita, their three beautiful babies along with my Mom, were scheduled to come to Albuquerque from Tucson for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We haven’t seen them for many months and we were looking forward to their visit.

However, yesterday, we were alerted that Margarita’s 88-year old Grandmother and namesake, Margarita Vasquez, has had an ischemic stroke and is currently hospitalized for observation. We don’t know the extent of her illness as yet, but her speech is slurred and she’s very weak. Further, it seems the medical staff may well have misdiagnosed her initially, so the situation is compounded in that they may have missed an important window of opportunity to help her and reduce the effects of the stroke. I don’t pretend to know much about strokes, but this is what has been shared with me. I’m sure Sharon can add much wisdom here.

My brother has said these coming hours and days after a stroke can be very precarious. So we are praying she remains stable and does not also incur inflammation in the brain, which I understand can be so dangerous. As of this writing, her prognosis is as yet unknown.

Yesterday, I spoke to my sister in law a couple of different times, told her, of course, her Grandmother is in our prayers and that we wish we could, instead, go there, but that’s just not possible right now. But we can pray. And we can mobilize as many of our Lord’s Warriors to do so as well.

Thus, I humbly ask if we could please request prayer for Mrs. Vasquez as this will be a tenuous time for her and her family. At best, we are hoping for as much of a recovery as the Lord will allow. But even so, this little lady was, until recently, fiercely independent, living alone and getting on very well. But I don’t think her life will ever be the same. It would also be a blessing if we could request a special prayer from Pastor John Taylor, if that’s a possibility. I loved what he said on ‘Dewey And Friends’ and just watching both of you was such an inspiring show. Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m passing it on to my sister in law and her family.

Dewey, whatever prayers come our way would be most welcome. Thank you in advance for your kind assist in this. We look forward to the Lord’s reply and we give thanks, this day and every day, for all of His blessings. Especially for bringing you into our lives in such an encouraging and motivating way to guide us to the Lord.

Margarita Vasquez, here with my niece, Marisol and my nephew, Emilio.

Thank you, and bless you, Sir. God keep you and Sharon in His tender care.

Love you!

Giving Hearts make me Happy, by Karen Rowe
November 21, 2012

Good morning and no matter the date on the calendar, happy Thanksgiving Day! Yesterday was a tuff day for me! I worked from 4 am till 9:30 last night, but I want to tell you about the best parts of my day!
About 4:30, it was crunch time! I still had not finished my work; and now I needed to feed 2 hungry kids; grateful for leftovers, I felt a bit relieved until I remembered that today was “Trash Tuesday!” I began to squirm and squander trying to retain my complaining mouth, as I was so frustrated that my tasks of the day had taken so long, I still had not accomplished my good goals of the day!

Like “facing the giant,” moving my feet made it simple! Once I changed my complaining mind from all that I wanted to do, to doing what had to be done, going to the trash dump become the title of DDC that I write for you Today and the best part of my day!

I get to ride in a big white Ford F-250 with Country music and fresh air; and this time of the year, grateful to have a good work coat to keep me warm! But this job is an excuse to force me to take a break from the frustrations of the world! There is something rewarding about taking the trash to the dump! I suppose it is that feeling of tossing out stress and unwanted garbage that just hangs around being ugly in one big swoop; and everything immediately feels free!

As good as this feeling is; and I know I am talking about a gnarly job, because we live in the Country and I stand on the back of that truck and empty icky bags of rotten food into an open dumpster that sometimes can smell! Yet, going to the trash dump was one of the best parts of my day yesterday –and I deem this trip the best, because of one girl with a smile that made my day!

Giving hearts make me smile; but it makes me think, what are we doing with ours?

I didn’t know this girl and I didn’t know this family, but mere smiles from them to me, made me feel like I somehow knew them – they showed me God’s love! I saw that girl’s heart through her joyful humility; and in her smile! As I was pulling away from the 2nd recycle station, I noticed a girl probably 9 years old helping her family, not just helping; it was obvious she was glad to help –and I noticed her smile! Pausing just a minute, I motioned her by and was willing to wait the extra time because I was so taken back by joy in that girls heart coming through her smile and her eyes that I could see Jesus in –even at this distance!

Along with this smile, this girl displayed the humility of Jesus that offers utmost respect in giving!!!

Sometimes we just can think “all about me,” and consume our mind with thoughts ‘I just want to get this over with’ … and speed through the motions of emotions –feeling thoughts; and forget that we have purpose in all that we do! However, this girl gave me the “right a-way!” She stopped dragging this big sheet of heavy metal to motion me along my way as if she was saying, “I’ve got this; I am happy helping and I don’t want to hold you up.” She was thinking more about me –than she was of herself! I nodded with a smile and looked beyond this child to see who was with her …

I would like to assume it was her parents, but we don’t know that –and we don’t know their story either, but I know she knows she is loved by God! Because I saw God’s love reflecting in her eyes –and in her smile – I saw she believes and knows how much God loves her!

So I may not know the history or the present tense of this girl’s life –or of those who were obviously with her; however, what I do know is that they were happy working together just like me doing the deed that needed to be done! What was awesome to see was that they were doing this gnarly job with a joyful heart and they acted like a family of God!

The dad seemingly on purpose made eye contact with me and his smile to me spoke to my heart and just made me happy! It was like God inspired him to smile; and maybe they were angels, because God knew I had a tuff day and God knew my heart needed a smile and a relief from the stress that was stealing my own!
Think of this –Who could use your smile today? Look around you, because I didn’t have a tag on my forehead that said, ‘it is tuff right now’ … If you read any of my writings, you may be amazed to learn that I had a day that I needed to see God’s love through another, because I walk tight with Jesus, but we are God’s gift to each other too! Some people to us may be like “iron sharpens iron” and others may feel like a cheese grater against us, but the fact is, we need to be showing God’s love to each other without thought, but rather from our heart filled with God’s love!

When I got home, I was renewed and re-energized –full of smiles myself and proud that I dug deep in my cluttered thoughts to do what needed to be done, because this dreaded job turned out to be the best part of my day!

This Thanksgiving, remember the power of giving love! Remember that there is power in a distant gesture of love with a smile or a glance with Jesus dancing in your eyes with joy!Before I leave you Today …the 2nd Best Part of my day:

I feel lead to share the 2nd best part of my day, because we can learn from horses too! After I parked and unloaded the truck, the horses were waiting to be fed. Happy to have small bales of hay that I can handle without a tractor, I broke the string on the bale of hay to carry some food to 4 hungry horses that demonstrate how NOT to be sometimes!

Hungry and impatient, the 2 bigger horses, especially the dominate mare, who controls the herd –become rude and selfish with the ‘first foods’ that arrive –so much so thinking about their own pile of hay, that they can get right down mean to each other…and it begins with the dominate and controlling mare –and then the next mare does the same thing!

NOTICE: People are watching us –that little girl and that that man’s smile –to me were contagious…so also is our every attitude …

Check out this comparison … To God Be the Glory Alone –Just now realizing that both of these mare’s behavior yesterday was not characteristic of how they were before they learned this behavior from another horse that began with one we called Spirit! Before they still always had plenty of food, but they learned this way to survive –because their life circumstances completely changed; and so did they –and then they become a teacher!

Life circumstances can throw us a new way of thinking because we can get kicked into survival mode, but we are not horses, we can pray and rise above the circumstance to remember who we are! We are loved by God with a purpose to show love with a grateful heart and we have all our needs met by a loving Father, who IS God! We can change both ways … for the good or for the bad, but change begins with a new way of thinking! I choose to believe God’s Word –Jesus is our every-thing that we need to survive well!

Satan will tempt us with thoughts, “Did God really say ____________?” Be certain of your teacher that you are learning from –The Holy Spirit and the Word of God!

So I pray for extra patience this holiday season for everyone to remember the reason for the season is LOVE, because that pile of hay in our life can become personal too … Remember that girl and smile and share and give respect with a humble heart, because giving thanks by being at peace and reflecting God’s love is where happiness is full and complete.

I got off course there –maybe, but tying this back together, remember the selfish horses that showed me all they cared about was getting fed and how not to be? Yet, Maggie May made my day! She is a 3 year old baby mini horse! I held her in my arms in her first hours of life! She is funny and she wasn’t too concerned about having enough food, she come over just to see me! The unconditional love that Maggie May showed me was a best part of my day too and she made me smile, because she didn’t ask anything from me; she only wanted to be near me!

I hope we can learn to treat others like this. Although we are not responsible for another’s happiness; and we can’t control how another feels –still yet, we can influence others in their strife, by either heaping hot coals on their heads / or reflecting God’s agape love for them to see ~

This Thanksgiving, let’s choose to be like Maggie May and make people feel happy, by sharing our love, our time, our food and our smiles with them –to let them know they are important to us too; and maybe this will be the best part of their day!

True happiness comes from giving with a heart that is filled with God’s love!
Is anything stealing your smile? What job could you do that would get you to this Recycling Center of your life?

If you notice, I didn’t quote any Scriptures Today, but I will say, God loves you; and there is so much more –I can’t write it all Today! The Word is written in our hearts to know God’s love, but we do need to remember to read our Bibles! I am filled because I did a full Bible Study yesterday called: Thanksgiving Bread with a Grateful Heart –Believing what is True, by Karen Rowe

If you would like to read this Bible study, just let Dewey know and I’ll get it to him to forward to you; or you can write me at karen and I’ll be glad to forward to you as a gift from a friend!

Love in Christ,

From my heart to yours … The Bible says, above all things to get ~ Get understanding!

Now from Shari Hardway Johnson……….

Caught Up for Christ

The Scripture tells of an Ethiopian eunuch that was sitting in his buggy reading the Bible and trying to understand the book of Isaiah the prophet without success, until Phillip “happens” to come upon him and explain the prophetic scripture he was reading in ~ Isaiah 53:7 ~ “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth,” which foretold of the crucifixion of Christ. When the Eunuch heard the words of Phillip and understood the salvation provided through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, at the first opportunity given he followed in obedience. Acts 8:36 ~ “And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?”
Following the baptism, as they together exited the water, the eunuch’s new found friend in the faith disappeared! Vanished! But the rejoicing didn’t cease. Verse 39 says “And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.”

Continuing On…

Over the years friends of the faith have come and gone out of my life, but I continue in the rejoicing. The friends left for various reasons, some good… some bad. But it didn’t change the calling on my own life. Phillip was not in that region by coincidence. God’s providential plan brought Phillip by that way to lead a soul to Christ and ignite a fire that would further the gospel. So did God place my Pastor in my path in 1996 that would ignite the fire in my soul and he and I would continue rejoicing. He now has gifted me with the calling in my life to speak to women and young people and ignite that same fire from 2000 years ago.
That same fire that caught in the buggy in Gaza, burns in my soul in Calhoun County, West Virginia today because saints of God continued on throughout the ages sharing the gospel of Christ and doing so with
Confidence in…

Try as they might the educated fools who attempt to discount the facts of the Bible cannot. It is proven true again and again and testified as such by Christians throughout the world, who each have a testimony of what Christ has done in their lives. Is it any wonder the world could not hold the books that could be written on what He has done?

John 21:25

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
This is where are confidence lies. Not in fables… in fact! That is why I’m

Caught up!

I have not disappeared or been carried 30 miles down the road as Phillip was, but I’ve been caught up in the Gospel of Christ since 1996 with an understanding that God had a providential plan for my life too, and I’d be held accountable for the souls that crossed my path. It’s amazing to be caught up in this adventure of faith, and it is just that, “an adventure.” It’s never been dull. Those who do not enjoy their walk with Christ I would have to wonder if they’re on the path that Christ intended. In the best and the worst of times we can rejoice in the Lord because we see His prophecy unfolding before our eyes and we are a part of the plan!

Have a Great, Christ Focused Day!

Now from Darlene………..

‎2 Corin. 8:9 “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” A couple of weeks ago, I ministered on “How Rich Is Rich?” We we look at the Gospel of John It helps us to have a little more understanding. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” We understand that this beginning is the same beginning of Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God…” Now we go to John 4:24 where we read “God is Spirit.” Now using the word Spirit, go back to John 1:1 it would read “And the Word was Spirit.” Now look at John 1:14 and read using the word Spirit: And the Spirit was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. The Spirit who created everything became but a speck of the dust of His creation (the womb of Mary) which received…
the Divine Seed. As in the words of a song: “He came a long, long way from heaven to give to us eternal life.” Then the question is: What was the purpose? For that we turn again in John to the 14th chapter verse 2-3 where we read: In my Father’s house are (they are already there) many mansions (abodes): if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO.” He came from Spirit in order to bring us to Spirit. The Cross is what makes that possible, for it was on the Cross that He cried “FATHER FORGIVE THEM.” We along with all creation are part of the the THEM. When we receive His forgiveness, Repent or change our way of living, our spirit is born again. We receive His life and He begins His work in us, bringing us to fulness of the stature of Jesus, the realm of the Spirit. So then, He was rich (Spirit); became poor (creation under Adam’s curse); to deliver it/us from the curse and bring us to Spirit. He is doing His word IN US preparing US, bringing us to SPIRIT. Where I am, there ye may be also.

This from Leslie………..

Okay, today’s transformational devotion is on a subject we all struggle with: Self Esteem! You’ve got to read this one!

One of the biggest issues that believers struggle with is self-esteem. One of the reasons, I believe, is because self-esteem is of the world and is something we try to implement into our lives that is foreign into our god-given souls that’s not of God. Self-esteem implies that we get our identity and worth from self and that which we are able to accomplish. But God has something much more intimate and special for His children – it’s called sanctification.

To be sanctified is to ‘be set apart for a special purpose’. The truth is, it is easy to believe that we are not sanctified based on the message the world delivers us. Everywhere we turn we are bombarded with commercials, billboards, magazines and television shows that remind us of where we fall short from the worlds perspective. In addition, thousands upon thousands of children are physically and sexually abused daily. Abortion clinics thrive. These, among other devastating facts of our world, claw at our identity one message at a time, tearing it down by telling us we’re disposable and worthless with every assault. But believers have the ability to turn away from these blatant lies and choose truth as their stronghold.
Romans 8:29 tells that God knew us and chose us to be His children before the earth was created. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that during this time He sanctified us. But what exactly did God set us apart to do? We are to become Christ-like, for the sacred purpose of turning from sin and being cleansed from moral corruption.
And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God,
to those who are called according to His purpose. For who He foreknew,
He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son,
that He might be the first born among many brethren
Moreover, who He predestined, these He also called,
these He also justified; and who He justified, He also glorified.

(Romans 8:28-30)

Everyone that God foreknew (meaning those He chose and knew before we were formed in our mother’s womb), He predestined. Predestined means He decided beforehand that we would be conformed, (meaning to come together in the likeness or image of His Son, Jesus). And those He predestined, He called, (meaning He named them). Those He called, He also justified, (meaning He declared them righteous). Those He justified, He also glorified, (meaning to give honor and praise). We all hope to hear the words found in Matthew 25:21, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ from our Father when we ascent to heaven. To hear these words is to receive His honor and praise.

Putting our faith in these truths will build our god-esteem, meaning of course, who we are in Christ Jesus, opposed to self-esteem which is built by our own accomplishments or lack thereof. Thus, it does not matter what the world says, but what God says is true. Knowing and believing this gives us not only faith in who we are, but what God’s will is for our lives and what we are capable of accomplishing through Him.
We are sanctified, and as such, we have the capability of having full confidence in who we are in this world without having to adapt to it. By choosing to reject the world’s standard of esteem and cling to God’s promises about who we are and His plans for us, we can walk in confidence, surety, and hope. Run to Him now in prayer and ask His forgiveness for believing the worlds lies about who you are and grasp on to who He says you are and learn to walk in your special identity that He ordained for you as His child.

We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for the Godly works of Karen, Shari, Darlene and Leslie! AMEN hallelujah
