Daniel Fast 2012: Day Fifteen

Dear Family of God,

This is what helps us get closer to Jesus...

From Tammy: Thanking Him, Praising Him, snuggling up on the floor (in my bathroom) next to the fire place reading the Word with Him, loving My Studmuffin Sweetheart, loving/taking care of the gifts that He's given to us--Maverick and Mariah, taking care of our home with Him, Thanking Him,  garage sale-ing with Him, shopping with Him, making cards n gifts with Him, Dancing with Him, singing to Him, being His instrument to enable others to bloom into what He has created them to be, going to Zumba with Him, Making healthy meals for the temples that He's given us, working out on the treadmill with our Praise n Worship i home DVD's with Him (at home), plugging in my Christian workout mix and getting on the treadmill at the club with Him, Snowmobiling with Him, Skiing with Him.  Oh and did I say thanking/praising Him? (that He takes the time to listen AND to speak to me, shelter, fuel, His word, my Godly/handsome over the top husband, blessing of getting to witness Maverick and Mariah grow even more in Him, Tim and Janet Johns, warm shoes, kitchen appliances, the luxury of a fitness membership, the strength, health and ability to work out, healthy food, BHRT,  my clothes, our washer and dryer, great heating system, warm clothes, His wisdom, His love, safe vehicles to drive, His patience with me, comfy furniture, a home to share with others, our kitties and pups, amazing phone and computer, He's the same yesterday, today and forever, He is the Alpha and the Omega---the beginning and the end, His forgiveness, He is the great I AM---His banner over me is LOVE----He is the God of LOVE----He is Jehovah Jireh our provider---He is Jehovah Rophe our healer---He is the Prince of Peace--Elohim---Yahweh-- and etc..)

This is what helps us share Jesus with others... 

From Ben: His amazing Love.  LOVE --- hugs, smiles, His joy--lend a listening---non condemning or judgmental ear----that's for the Lord to do ---not us----Think out of the box----give LIFE-----give----share Him through your life and actions--knowing that in all you do in your day to day life---that you are in the fishbowl----you are being watched-----Be His Hands and feet
Give materialistic things away that can be a huge blessing to others.( Must have no strings attached and desire nothing in return )  It's all about dying  to flesh and sacrificing to others.
Get up in the morning determined to be a blessing to one person that day. ( Helps take your eyes off yourself)
Examples: Simple word of encouragement.  ( Text someone and tell them how awesome they are) Probably one of the greatest investments you can make in a person life and the opportunities are endless.Pay for someones coffee or toll that morning. Let someone cut in front of you ( others before self )
Take advantage of community activities and events to show up and spread the love.
    Examples; 1)4th of July cook out at big gathering area's.Meet new people and bless folks with GOOD free Barbecue.Dont know how to barbecue, bring someone who does.
                     2)Go to work on a community service project or fund raiser and donate your time.
                     3)Christmas time; knock on doors in less fortunate areas, hand out gifts and sing Christmas Carroll's.(this will imprint your life)
                     4)Get involved with your High school; coaching,fund raising,party throwing,etc.(Don't have kids in school, even better, you have more time)
       b)Ask foreigners over for games and supper. (These folks rarely have many friends and are excited to meet local people that welcome them into the community)
       c)Love, laugh ,and smile,no matter how tuff it can be sometimes. Spread the Joy of the Lord, it's a matter of choice, not circumstance.

May God's Blessings Be Poured Out Upon You!
