Let us Prepare our Hearts and Minds KKIM/DDC
Dear KKIM Family,
During Holy week we are preparing our heart and minds for Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Let our hearts be softened today and always....just sharing this CUP with you, softens my heart! Thank you all for your emails that Sharon and I are getting.......your words are like honey to us!
Kind words are like honey-------sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:24
Here are just two of the letters we got..........Let us soften our hearts and minds..let us share the love of Christ with each other.........When I get letters like this it gives me, REST IN JESUS (MORE ON THAT IN THIS POST) When is the last time you shared your love to others in a quick note?
Dewey,
It is always a pleasant to have lunch with you. I always enjoy our time together and how we can talk freely about Christ and world and local events. You are a great Brother in the Lord. We need to meet more often.
Have a Bless day.

Hey Dewey,
I am sure that you get tired of hearing from me, but I just wanted to tell you thank you again for all that you have done in opening up doors for me to serve Jesus. When I think about it, it still blows my mind away!
I just thank God for allowing me to serve HIM. Otherwise I think that I would burst! What God does for me is just so good; I just want to tell the world to rest assured God is in control and Jesus is with us.
I don't always yell it out like that, and then again, maybe I do....but I get so heavy in my heart sometimes that some do not believe, I just thank God for opening up doors for Christians to share the good news of Jesus...to those who do not know...or maybe just need encouraged past a rough patch.
I just shout out a praise to God for loving us all so much and knowing us by name!
I don't know why I wanted to tell you that today, but if it is good, then what harm can it cause?
Stay encouraged in your ministry! And...Thanks for reading this and for serving in such a good way.
PS...remember the prayer request a while back of the guy in the really bad motorcycle accident? With really bad brain swelling...I remember Rob and I talking and how sad we were as the days went by and looked grim...but we said, with God, all things are possible, so we prayed in faith, as did thousands of people! And we watched the family stand strong in faith...trusting and thanking God through the whole thing.
We saw him in church a couple of weeks ago and he looked ready to go back to work! What a smile on his face and my husband's as he and my husband said "PRAISE THE LORD!"
Still some recovery to come, I am sure, but seeing him shining in God's glory was the most amazing grace that I have ever witnessed!
It is not about our life going perfectly...It's all about Jesus giving us life! Thank God for HIS love, mercy and grace.
God bless! Karen Rowe
Pastor Don Kimbro sent this in........The Lord longs for YOU!
HE LONGS FOR YOU
Read Isaiah 30:15-18
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. - Isaiah the Prophet, ca. 700 B.C.
Maranatha!
I invite you all to send in your thoughts.
I wrote Easter letters to all the kids. I showed a dear friend the letter I had written to daughter Gretchen. The Lord has really put it on my heart to write the kids about their Dad's failures and victories, and also ask for the forgiveness for my trespasses. I also talked about how proud I am of them. I shared with them how the Lord had worked wonders in my life. You should see the responses I got from the kid's!!! WOW How moving!
REST IN JESUS!!!!
I am reading many books by Max Lucado right now on Holy Week.....
Max Lucado talks about Life Anchors...........
A. Do you believe you normally enjoy the rest of Jesus provides? Why or why not? What things keep you from enjoying it?
B. If it's your desire to enjoy Jesus offer of rest, but you're not sure what to do, begin with these three things:
1. Read Matthew 11:28-29 and Hebrews 4:1-11.
2. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil and write out specific steps you find in these two sources which describe how to enjoy God's rest.
C. Keep a personal journal for one week, each day recording any events which keep you from enjoying the rest of Jesus. At the end of the week, do two things:
1. Pray about each of those events, asking God for His help in enjoying His rest. be sure to thank Him for those times when you did enjoy His rest.
2. Analyze the events., Looking for clues which might indicate how you got off track.
When is the last time you were able to rest in Jesus? WOW! What a wonderful, peaceful picture....rest in the Love of JESUS!
Now please read the rest of the CUP, then work on this assignment, please read the scriptures that Max suggested.
Here is Karen Rowe of "Hope in Today" heard Saturdays on KKIM at 7:45am
The life that Jesus died for...
Romans 15:2
"Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up."
Romans 15:7
"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Study notes:
"God of hope. any hope the Christian has comes from God.
Hope cannot be conjured up by man's effort; it is God's gift by his Spirit."
Romans 5:5
"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy sprit, whom he has given us.
VS 6
"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly."
Romans 6:4
"...just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
HAPPY EASTER! JESUS IS RISEN!
Love, Karen
Let us pray............
Dear Father in Heaven,
Let us be bold Father, in sharing Your love with each other and those that do not know Your love and rest. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
