Greater Power...

Each month we ask a pastor/reverend from a different church to write us a new and inspirational prayer to offer the recipients of our food services.  We feel that most who come to us are having a pretty rough time and could use some comforting words to help them through...  
every little bit helps. 

Here is the offering for April...

God loves us all immeasurably.  And nothing … nothing can remove God's love from us.  God is there, is caring, is watching, and is sending angels of help and messengers of mercy.  This is the love on which we can always depend.  Nothing, nothing in all of creation can change that!

Lord God, you know all about my life.  My struggles.  My hopes and dreams, and of those days when my dreams seem distant and unreachable.  May your love so touch and move me that I find hope in each day.  May your love be so real that I am empowered to be that messenger of care and blessing to others that I meet on this day.  Amen.

Love thy neighbor...

I love Tom Krause...he always seems to have the right words for me when I need them. As I am always meeting new people this one really hit home with me and I wanted to share it.

Like People First

Tom Krause MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER - Volunteers/Education/Business Top Contributor

 

Like people first

you meet everyday.

Don't just be aloof

and shun them away.

Think for a moment

of whom you might miss

if your first reaction is

to always dismiss.

People may fool you

if given a chance.

It is too soon to judge

with the very first glance.

They all have a history -

a story to tell.

You may find compassion

if you just knew them well.

So like people first

and maybe in the end

your life will be richer

because you found a new friend.
