Selling religion...again?

"Selling religion?"

Bah...humbug!, Harry.

Great music, great singing, and I know its purpose. But it is Herring
pushing religion. If he had shown just the singers on a stage setting,
fine.


Well, I'm not selling this , I'm giving it away.

whole bunch of folks to read them.

"For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to
think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so
as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of
faith,"(Romans 12:3) "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God
opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) "Humble
yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt
you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you." (1 Peter 5:6,7)

lessons I've learned

"...I've learned: ~that a bunch of people genuinely love me and care
for me; even when I'm bankrupt of anything to give in return.

~not to take the freshness of a new season for granted or any of the
splendor of God's creation.

~I've had a control problem that I've spent years calling other
things. Like being organized, getting things done, leadership and at
the root of the problem have been trust issues.

~that it's OK to rest even when you have a lot to do.

~that being too busy stunts your spiritual growth.

~how to accept kindnesses graciously.

~what the power of the prayers of many can do.

~that dependency in the right context is strength, and not a weakness.

~that we are closest to God when we surrender our deepest fears to
Him.

~that God is not only with us in the present but is ahead of us as
well.

~to take greater joy in little things.

~that bad things don't just happen to other people.

~that optimism brings a lot of emotional sunshine to rainy days.

~I see the world more clearly. ~I feel with greater intensity.

~There is enrichment in life simply by the awareness of its
preciousness."
