The Red Umbrella
As the drought continued for what seemed an eternity, a small community of mid-west farmers were in a quandary as to what to do next. The rain was important not only to keep their crops healthy, but to sustain the townspeople's very way of living. As the problem became more urgent, the local church felt it was time to get involved and called a prayer meeting to ask for rain.
In what seemed a vague remembrance of a Native American ritual, the people began to arrive. The pastor on his arrival watched as the congregation continued to file in. He slowly made his way to the front to officially begin the meeting.
Everyone was taking the opportunity to visit across the aisles to socialise with close friends. The pastor's thoughts when he reached the front were on quieting those present and starting the meeting.
As he began to ask for quiet, his eyes scanned the crowd and he took note of an eleven year-old girl sitting in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement and she quietly sat in her place. Next to her, poised and ready for use, was a bright red umbrella. The beauty and innocence of the girl made the pastor smile as he realised the faith she possessed. No one else in the congregation had brought an umbrella.
They had all come to pray for rain, but she had come expecting God to answer with the needed rain.

Which is more important?
"My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is.Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans? so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf.But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.
"Several years passed before she asked me again.Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No.But you are getting smarter every year, my child."
Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying.Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry.
My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather.She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.
"She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry.
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one.It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

try out saying this prayer.
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and
an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on
blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was
not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each
and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me
continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And
when I sin , let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and
receive the forgiveness of God.
And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -to
slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm
pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my
heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong
that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of
encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find
their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray
for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that You changes people and You changes things. I pray for all
my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their
households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than You. Every battle is in Your hands
for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of
every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.
This is my prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!! Lord I love you and I need
you, come into my heart, please.

The Lord is my Shepherd...
THAT'S RELATIONSHIP!
I shall not want...
THAT'S SUPPLY!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures...
THAT'S REST!
He leadeth me beside still waters...
THAT'S REFRESHMENT!
He restoreth my soul...
THAT'S HEALING!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness...
THAT'S GUIDANCE!
For His name sake...
THAT'S PURPOSE!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
THAT'S CHALLENGE!
I will fear no evil...
THAT'S ASSURANCE!
For thou art with me...
THAT'S FAITHFULNESS!
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me...
THAT'S SHELTER!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies...
THAT'S HOPE!
Thou anointest my head with oil...
THAT'S CONSECRATION!
My cup runneth over...
THAT'S ABUNDANCE!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my ?life...
THAT'S BLESSING!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord...
THAT'S SECURITY!
Forever...
THAT'S ETERNITY!
