Hi
Ladies of Grace & Guests!
Welcome
to Merrymail! I will try to bring you a variety of
interesting items. Mostly I will look for
interesting sites for you to visit and comment on them so
that you will have some idea as to their content.
Please feel free to send me suggestions at any time and so that
it does not tie up the Grace CWO website send them to my
personal mail at merryjoy@worldpath.net.
Here is a sample of Issue #4
MERRYMAIL Issue
#4
A Little Bit of Humor
I'M CONFUSED
On the way home from
church, a little girl turned to her mother and
said, "Mommy, the Preacher's sermon this morning
confused me."
The mother said, "Oh! Why is that?"
The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger
than we are.
Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true," the mother replied.
"He also said that God lives within us. Is that
true, too?"
Again the mother replied, "Yes."
"Well," said the girl. "If God is bigger
than us and He lives in us,
wouldn't He show through us?
Isn't that
just the way it should be. Shouldn't God show
through us when we walk through life doing His will and
allowing people whom we meet to know that we are
Christians.
What a great testimony that would be if everyone
could see God through us.

Are We
Godly Parents
The following poem
says volumes about what we must do if we are to raise
children of God. Please read it and even print it
out and keep it to pass on to your children as they marry
and have children of their own. I wish I knew who the
author was.
 
Today When I got mad and hit my child,
"For his own good", I reconciled;
And then I realized my plight...
Today I taught my child to fight.
When interrupted by the phone,
I said, "Tell them I'm not at home";
And then I thought, and had to sigh...
Today I taught my child to lie.
I told the tax man what I made,
Forgetting cash that I was paid;
And then I blushed at this sad feat....
Today I taught my child to cheat.
I smugly copied a cassette,
To keep me free of one more debt;
But now the bells of shame must peal....
Today I taught my child to steal.
Today I cursed another race,
Oh God protect what I debase;
For now, I fear it is to late....
Today I taught my child to hate.
By my example children learn,
That I must lead in life's sojourn;
In such a way that they are led....
By what is done, not what is said.
Today I gave my child his due,
By praises for him instead of rue;
And now I have begun my guide...
Today I gave my child his pride.
I now have reconciled and paid,
To IRS on all I made;
And now I know that this dear youth....
Today has learned from me of truth.
The alms I give are not for show,
And yet, this child must surely know;
That charity is worth the price...
Today he saw my sacrifice.
I clasp within a warm embrace,
My neighbor of another race;
The great commandment from above....
Today I taught my child to love
Someday my child must face alone,
This world of fearsome undertone;
But I have blazed a sure pathway....
Today I taught my child to pray.
FROM
THE WORD OF GOD
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
1. "Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angel, but have not, I have become as
a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2. And
though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have faith so
that I could remove all mountains, but have not love, I
am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to
be burned, but have not love, it profits me
nothing."
I promised that
for the next few issues we would talk about love because
God loves us and it is up to us to accept that love and
pass it on to others, showing God living in us.
That is the ultimate witness of God's promise to us.
As we concentrate on the first 3 verses of 1
Corinthians 13 we can see that no matter how talented,
smart or determined we are, if we don't have love--God's
kind of love--for others and ourselves, we are
nothing. You may also notice that in verse 3 there
is a hint about what the human kind of love may be that
ensnares us. We as humans sometimes mistake our
kind of love for God's kind. Ours has a tendency to be
self-serving. We can bestow all our lives to serve
others doing it with the wrong motive. Doing it to gain
for ourselves "love" or admiration for our
"sacrifice". That kind of love is not
agape love. Only when we can love with our hearts
and our serving becomes a fulfillment of that love
instead of the means to gain love for ourselves, does it
become God's kind of love. Satan has put many
little traps in our way to hinder our development of
God's kind of love, for when we love selfishly, we are
not loving at all.
Stay in touch with your Heavenly Father because
He is there for you. Be there for HIM I'll be
praying for all of you on MerryMail so please
continue in His love . Talk to you next week.
