Dear KKIM/KARS/SHINE family,
May God be with you and your family this day and all days…may you surround your family with the Love of God……..Today may you call many in your family and tell them that you love them!
Holding onto God’s promises is the closet we get to actually holding onto God.
Oh my, what a picture!!!!!………holding onto God! Hold onto HIM tight this day and all days…Hold onto HIS Word’s……HIS promises!
God’s promises are the antidote for our despair!
Oh my friends these are the word’s that the Lord has me to share with you this day……..yes you!
God’s promises are greater than human wisdom.
People will fill your ears with a bunch of “NOTHING NOISE! THE WORLD IS FULL OF NOTHING NOISE!!! Proverbs 18:2 says, “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”
But hear this: God has spoken and He’s made promises that exceed by far the foolishness in what people often say when we are hurting.
LOVE……I miss my extended family very much. I do not see my brothers, Dave and Daryl much anymore as well as my Sister Deb. I also miss Lars very much. With today’s modern technology it is easy to text Lars and say hello and tell him I love him each day. Let us always tell our loved ones that we love them…….read this impactive story from Darlene…….

I was walking around in a supermarket when I saw a cashier hand this little boy his money back, the boy couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, ‘I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ”Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She replied, ”You know that you don’t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. ‘It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.’ I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. ‘No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.’ His eyes were so sad while saying this, ‘My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, ‘I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.’ Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ‘I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won’t forget me.’ ‘I love my mommy and I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.’ Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ‘Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” OK’ he said, ‘I hope I do have enough.’ I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said, ‘Thank you God for giving me enough money!’ Then he looked at me and added, ‘I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!” ‘I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.” ‘My mommy loves white roses.’ A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn’t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine, and in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him
Very impactive……..let us make sure and share our love each day!
Healing is a very tough subject………When I type these words I think of those who are reading this and have not been healed of painful stuff! There are many of you, like my wife Sharon. who lives with pain many days of her life, she does get a “vacation for many days, without pain”.As George Martin says, Much of healing is a mystery to us! Remember now when I was 5 1/2 years old I was told I would probably never walk or run like the other kids……but here I am today at nearly 56 playing ball! My Mom was such a strong Christian, passed on of cancer at 64. It hurt when people would come up to me and say, “Our Mom had cancer but we prayed and she was healed.” Now, many of you know how much that hurt, as we prayed for our Mom and she was not healed here on earth, but in heaven. Dad passed on with a fatal heart attack when he was 64. Gretchen nearly passed when she was 8 weeks old, but was healed. So you see I have experienced healing and non-healing in my days..I still carry with me the grief of losing Mom and Dad at such a young age. I carry with me the pain that my Sharon has each day. I do not accept it when Pastor’s or other’s will say, Get the sin out of your life and you will be healed! Much confusion in the Church on healing. I am trying to clear the path by studying it here on the CUP and going to the Lord each day as to what and how to share with you all.
You and I know this for sure, once we get to heaven we have new bodies! We are healed.Some will be like Paul and carry an affliction with them most if not all of their lives. Paul healed others, but also carried a “thorn” until his death.
It is wise to educate yourself on healing, as this is a way to minister to others.
I want to encourage all of you to read the book by George Martin, Healing Reflections on the Gospel. It is the best book on healing that I have read. Martin gained a lot of respect from me when he states, “There is much about healing that we do not understand, healing is largely a mystery.”
Man tries to understand all things, but if we did, we would be God. We must trust God, He will not forsake us.
Eternal life with our Father in heaven is our focus.
Now I want to resume point number two on Healing with Martin………
We should use natural means at our disposal to care for our health. We should preserve our health through wise and temperate living. We should use medical science to restore our health when we are sick.
God’s healing power in our lives must never become an excuse for us to abuse our health.(It is so sad how people drink,eat, and be Merry, and how society has become so over weight!!!, we abuse our temple’s!)
We should take responsibility for preserving our health through proper nutrition, exercise, and rest, avoiding whatever we know to be harmful to ourselves.
If we are chronically fatigued and lack the energy to get our work done, we perhaps should pray for a healing from this condition. But perhaps we should examine our lifestyle. Am I eating a well-balanced diet? (LET ME SAY HERE THAT WHEN I WENT IN FOR MY PHYSICAL A FEW MONTHS AGO MY SUGAR WAS AT 125, I THEN STOPPED ALL SUGAR AND LOST 12 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS! let us examine what we eat and drink!, I am down to 175. Blood pressure down also. We must take care of our temples.It drives me nuts to see people so overweight!!!!!, abusing their temple that God gave them!!!)
My friend Ted, calls, it Chest-in-the-drawers disease! LOL LOL!!!!
God does not want to make up for our junk food, or over eating!
God wants us to correct these bad habits of life so that we might enjoy good health as a natural result of the way we live.
Similarly, we can also abuse our health by imprudence—driving ourselves to take on too many responsibilities(That would be me!!!!) or make more money!(Not Me!!) What money????)
God’s desire that we be healthy is first of all a desire that we correct those conditions in our life which lead to bad health.
We should pray for the strength of will to overcome bad habits, rather than for a divine healing from the consequences of bad habits.
I am going to stop here for today…I have to say I am in better health today than I was at 25 years of age because I have taken responsibility for my own health. I have found that there are natural things here on earth for us to consume daily to take better care of ourselves. We have polluted God’s earth, we must as I say, “clean ourselves from man’s toxin’s daily”
These are the word’s that the Lord has given to me this day to share with you.
Let me leave you with these promises from our God today……..
“By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises” 2 Peter 1:4
God’s promises are great because…..they come from our Great God!
Psalm 145:3 says…”Great is the Lord….His greatness is unsearchable.”
We must admit that we don’t have a clue how great God is because no one can discover the depth of his greatness. Only in His promises are we able to explore and experience just how great He really is.
Jeremiah 32:27″ “I am the Lord…..Is there anything too hard for Me?”
What is it this day that you think is to hard for God to handle?
We have to reply, “Nothing, Lord is to hard for You!”
Does that not give you courage and hope?
IT DOES ME!
Holding on to God’s promises is the closet we get to actually holding onto God.
Read that again!
