ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS CUP KKIM/KARS DDC

The Lord is my shepherd—He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2
Keep your eyes on the Shepherd! The Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm.
In the second verse, David the poet becomes David the artist. His quill becomes a brush, his parchment a canvas, and his words paint a picture. A flock of sheep on folded legs, encircling a shepherd. Bellies nestled deep in the long shoots of grass. A still pond on one side, the watching shepherd on the other. “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters” (Psalm. 23:2 NKJV).
Note the two pronouns preceding the two verbs. He makes me … He leads me …
Who is the active one? Who is in charge? The Shepherd. The shepherd selects the trail and prepares the pasture. The sheep’s job—our job—is to watch the Shepherd.
Sharon wants to share this story…..it is one of her favorites….I am so blessed how Sharon helps me put the CUP together each day…..There is an extreme blessing of a husband and wife working together for the LORD! There is so much Godly love! I see it when I see Pastor’s and their wives working together for the LORD! I see it when we have married couples working in a Ministry that they have founded in our LORD or working for a Ministry! I also see it when I see couples walk hand in hand into the Church, Marriage is so Holy, Holy, Holy, AMEN! ……..Here is Sharon’s story that she prays is a blessing to you…….Great Christmas message………FOR GOD’S GLORY ALONE!

The Difference Between Rich and Poor

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son
on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of
showing his son how poor people can be.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of
what would be considered a very poor family. On their
return from their trip, the Father asked his son,

“How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Oh Yeah” said the son.
“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they
had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of
our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We
have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the
stars at night. Our patio reaches to the
front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a
small piece of land to live on and they have fields
that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve
us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they
grow theirs. We have walls around our property to
protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

With this the boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added,
“Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Too many times we forget what we have
and concentrate on what we don’t have. What is one
person’s worthless object is another’s prize
possession. It is all based on one’s perspective.
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave
thanks for all the bounty we have, instead of worrying
about wanting more.

Take joy in all you have, especially your friends. Life is not
measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that
take your breath away.

You may want to print that out and include it in your Christmas Cards! What a POWERFUL message! Please send us your favorite stories so we can share them here at the CUP!
Let us hear from Pastor Leonard who also is a member of our News Dept…….Leonard has 2 very special prayer needs…….

Good morning.

Praying for you!

SUPER CUP! I believe the “much to do” about Tebow is not about football but about his love for our Lord Jesus Christ. But, WOW, what a witness for our Lord.

Couple prayer request!

* Pls pray for Diana’s mom, Opal. She had cast put on her left hand. So now she can’t really do anything but just barely feed herself. Needs help doing everything else and I mean everything else. Still trying to make decision about Bee Hive assisted living or just keep her here and hire help. Prayers SO appreciated.

*Pls join in praying for my Pastor friend, Chris Philbeck, who is an awesome minister and person. Cancer detected in his tonsil and spread to one lymph node. Please pray for him, his family and the doctors as they plan the process of moving forward. Thank you so much!

love and prayers,

Leonard

Let’s get our Medical bag from Dr. Joe! PRAISE GOD!

Do you suffer from gas and or bloating? Constipation or diarrhea? Fatigue? Headaches? Sugar cravings? All of these are signs that unhealthy bacteria have taken over too much real estate in your gut.

Your lifestyle can and does influence your gut flora on a daily basis. Your gut bacteria are extremely sensitive to:
Antibiotics
Chlorinated water
Antibacterial soap
Agricultural chemicals
Pollution

A poor diet is another enemy to healthy gut bacteria, as eating sugar actually nourishes the bad or pathogenic bacteria yeast and fungi in your gut (which may actually do more harm than elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance).

One of the major side benefits of eating a healthy diet is that it helps the beneficial gut bacteria flourish, which results in the restoration of your health.

Eating fermented food will also help you to “reseed” your body with good bacteria. If you do not regularly consume the traditionally fermented foods below, a high-quality probiotic supplement from your health food store will provide similar benefits:

Lassi (an Indian yoghurt drink, traditionally enjoyed before dinner)
Fermented milk, such as kefir (a quart of unpasteurized kefir has far more active bacteria than you can possibly purchase in any probiotics supplement)
Various pickled fermentations of cabbage, turnips, eggplant, cucumbers, onions, squash and carrots
Natto (fermented soy)
When choosing fermented foods, steer way clear of pasteurized versions, as pasteurization will destroy many of the naturally occurring probiotics.

This includes most of the “probiotic” yogurts you find in every grocery store these days; since they’re pasteurized, they will be associated with all of the problems of pasteurized milk products and they typically contain added sugars, high fructose corn syrup (which you need to avoid at all costs), artificial coloring, or artificial sweeteners, all of which will only worsen your health.

A high-quality probiotic is something you need to consider especially if you’re past the age of 50. Here’s what you need to discuss with the sales person at the health food store regarding your probiotic:
That the bacteria strains in the product must be able to survive your stomach acid and bile, so that they reach your intestines alive in adequate numbers.
That the bacteria strains must have confirmed health-promoting features.
That the probiotic activity must be guaranteed throughout the entire production process, storage period and shelf life of the product.

Tending to the bacteria in your gut is always an ongoing process, much like tending to a flower garden. Provided with the proper nourishment — fermented foods, a high-quality probiotic supplement, and avoidance of antibiotics and other environmental assaults — your gut bacteria will flourish and greatly reward you with good health.
