Last Call for this Group...

It was previously called *Daily Devotions*

However, that was easy to do in the Winter
when I was house-bound, but not so easy
in the warmer months of the year.
Sometimes, the time I took to post
them here, left me with no time
for my own devotions!

I changed the name...
still no posts from others.

The "indoor" season is coming up again.

However, I can open up a thread in the
Spiritual Section of HATQUARTERS,
AND the old QMB1, if I wish to share
my daily devotions and Bible verses
with my RHS sisters.

UNLESS this group becomes used
(i.e. members are posting) in the next
week or so, I will be closing it out.

It was never meant to be just
ME writing here, it was meant
for PARTICIPATION.

Please, make a comment, post in
the forum, or message me, IF you
read (or have read) things in this
Group at any time in the past few
months (June >>August).
Thanks!!

Starting off with June at the bottom,
and July at the top, working backwards.
August will be posted later in July.

It doesn't matter which way you read
these verses, as long as they are of help
to you when you need them.
The complete Bible Verses may be
 posted later in the Forum.

Heart Disease

Bible Reading: Zechariah 7: 8-14

Focus on Verse Psalm 95:8
Do not harden your hearts.

  Ask God to bring to mind a person
who needs the helop of someone with
a soft heart.
-Julie Ackerman Link

If I can right a human wrong,
If I can help to make one strong,
If I can cheer with smile or song,
Lord, show me how.
-Kleiser

Today's Positive Thought:

To love Christ is to have a heart for others.

Getting What You Want

Bible Reading: Luke 12: 15, 22-34

Focus on Verse Luke 12:15
One's life does not consist in the
abundance of the things he possesses.

Jesus said, "Take head and beware of
covetousness" because one day, like
the rich fool in the parabel in Luke 12,
we will leave it all behind.
That's when we'll have more than we
ever dreamed of. In the meantime,
God promises to care for our needs --
no matter what the circumstances.
And that's no secret.
--Anne Cetas

I know not by what methods rare
The Lord provides for me;
I only know that all my needs
He meets so graciously.
--Adams

Today's Positive Thought:

God has promised to supply
all our needs, not all our wants.

Building Bridges

You may read the complete Devotional at:
http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/2008/05/25/devotion.aspx

Bible Reading: Acts 9: 17-27

Focus on Verse Acts 9:27
Barnabas took him
and brought him to the apostles.

New believers need a Barnabas
in their lives. Find ways that you
can be a bridge in the lives of others.
--Marvin Williams

Oh, I would be to others
A cheering ray of light,
Inspiring them with courage
To climb some newfound height!
--Bosch 

Today's Positive Thought:

Be a bridge of encouragement
to someone today.
