[Faith-talk] too many forwards...Morning Thoughts

[John J. Boyer]

I never read forwarded messages. If there were just an occasional one 
and all the headers were removed I might look at it. Sending floods of 
forwarded messages is not very considerate of other list members and not 
a good way to get your message across. 

I think the list should have some rules, as other lists do, and that the 
moderators should post them periodically.

I know that God is working in our lives together and in each of us individually.  Just think about that for a moment, we are a community in Christ even though some of us have never met in body.  When I receive a note or see a joyful post from you, my heart leaps for joy!! For some of you, when I see the reports of the struggles you must endure, my heart cries and my soul is led to pray.  At that point in time we are one.  Maybe these words, which God allows me to type, touch a chord in your heart, just as they do in mine.  For sure though, the scripture passages He brings to mind will always find a waiting heart!!

Share the joys of your heart with a lonely soul, that they may see the radiance of your life and seek to get some of what you have - peace with God and community with fellow believers. Visit someone who is hurting, someone in jail, hospital, nursing home, confined to bed or home, or someone who is nursing a broken heart.  A little time, a loving contact, a gaze into the eyes of another - a love touch from the Father, these will change your day just as they will bring hope and a bit of joy into the life of another!!
