The Saving Grace In An Ashtray
===============================
.
God places people in our path for us to be a blessing.
.
Growing up in New York in a single parent household, my mother
would always get on me about giving things away. I can remember
as far back at the age of seven, I gave a little girl my shoes
off my feet because I saw a need. My mother would always say
that I would never have anything, but that way of thinking never
was in my mindset.
.
I know that in accordance to God’s will, when He instructs us to
give, we must be obedient because in all actuality, it all
belongs to Him. I believe if every person heeded God’s voice
when He instructs them to bless someone, we would be in a better
position as a country and as a people.
.
My son and I were in Powder Springs driving home down Hwy 278
when we saw this young woman walking, looking as though she was
exhausted. I made a U-turn and came back around and asked her
could we give her a ride. She took the offer immediately.
.
As I am driving I hear God’s voice say to give her the money
that I had in my ashtray. I don’t smoke so I would keep change
or throw the dollars I have in the ashtray.
.
The only thing was that I knew that I had $300 in the astray.
.
I didn’t hesitate, nor was I upset about His request, I just
heeded. As I dropped her off to her destination I could see that
it was an environment of drugs, sexual perversions and God knows
what. As she was thanking me for the ride, I took the money out
of the ashtray and balled it up in my hand and placed it in her
hand.
.
She didn’t know what I was giving her and I asked her not to
think nothing of it and told her that God loves her and that He
is with her every step of the way. I gave her my business card
and told her if she ever needed to get to church call me and I

Our only hope, as it turns out,
is the greatest miscarriage of justice
in all of history.
It has thrown wide the gates of heaven
to all.
O, how He loves us
unconditionally !!!!

How To Mend A Broken Heart?
============================
.
How do you mend a broken heart?
.
We get a lot of prayer requests asking to simply pray for their
broken heart.
.
So what do you do when you’ve got a broken heart?
.
Here are four steps that will help you up that mountain.
.
1. Occupy 2. Gratify 3. Sanctify 4. Glorify.
.
Occupy:
Occupy your time, don’t sit around moping.
.
Do something.
.
Idleness is the soil of self-pity and depression. Get busy.
The best thing that you can do is to do something that helps
others. It’s a universal principle that when you start focusing
on helping others, your own problems are diminished.
Don’t just stand there, DO SOMETHING!
.
Gratify:
Write a list of the things you like, then pick three of those
things and put those things in your life - now.
Make sure you can afford them and that they aren’t harmful.
When our hearts are broken, we often deprive ourselves of the
things we enjoy. Make an effort to put enjoyment in your life.
.
Sanctify:
Do good. Don’t return evil for evil, hurt for hurt, pain for
pain. Don’t wish something horrible would happen to the other
person. Hope for their good fortune in your spirit, and it just

Doeth Good Like Medicine
<><><><><><><><><>
.
“A Merry heart doeth good like medicine.”
– Prov. 17:22 (KJV)
.
Hospital volunteers do no clinical work. Volunteers have no physically therapeutic treatment of offer. They dispense no medicine. But we cannot deny that they demonstrate the merry hearts as spoken of in Proverbs 17:22. At the core of volunteering is the fervent desire to “doeth good like medicine.” Because I am privileged to experience a daily confirmation of the good done by volunteers, it is very difficult to choose one vignette or narrow the choices of stories to one.
.
It was Christmas time and our elderly visitor was back to see her husband in the Intensive Care Unit. We had watched her daily visits, and could tell she was becoming more distant and distraught with each day. She was rather frail and unsteady on her feet, but refused any offer of assistance.
.
Volunteer John approached her on her way out, to offer her a ride back to her car in our shuttle as it was cold. She accepted reluctantly, almost as if in resignation. While helping her into the shuttle,
