I have been neglecting this poor blog. I will try and remember to post here when I post to my other blogs. Life is hectic but God is faithful! Amen! Here below is somthing I found. I dont know who wrote it but it is Good.
The Higher the Bamboo Grows, the Lower It Bends
A government official who came into President Lincoln's office was startled to find the chief executive shining his shoes. "Sir," he gasped, "surely you do not polish your own shoes!" "Of course," replied the humble President. "Whose do you polish?" The greatness of a man is evidenced by his humility. In the words of an old Filipino saying, "The higher the bamboo grows, the lower it bends."
All of this is illustrated in the life of Jesus. "Jesus did not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" Mat 20:28 . The highest title God ever allows in His church is "servant." Am I willing to serve people as Jesus did? I know, I cannot die for people to save them as Jesus did, but I can "die to self" to enable me to tell people that Jesus died for their sins, and thus serve them in the greatest way possible.
When I humble myself, then God will give me the grace to grow into maturity where, I like the tall bamboo, can lower myself to serve those of "low esteem." Notice, "Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited" (Rom 12:16). How tall are you spiritually? Tall and flexible enough to serve people in all kinds of situations?

- The Word: So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.(Isa 7:14 MKJV)

The physician was going to operate on a very rich man who always wanted the best of everything. "I don't think there will be any problem," said the doctor, "This operation is routine. We can even use a local anesthetic."
"No," shouted the millionaire. "Don't use a local. Get something imported."
That's what Jesus is-"something imported"; or Someone imported. A hymn puts it like this: "There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate to heaven and let us in."
His birth was miraculous, the only one of its kind in history. It was prophesied in Isa_7:14, 700 years before it happened. But even more startling than that is John's declaration, "The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world." That meant one thing-that Jesus was born to die.
The virgin birth of Jesus gave to us a divine Redeemer whose life became a ransom for sin. A Jesus born in sin or subsequently guilty of sin couldn't have atoned for sin. The Lord Jesus Christ will never be understood by those who don't see Him as the Savior. And Christmas is an empty thing unless the Christ of Christmas is your Savior. Why not receive Him as your Savior now?

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:
and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD. (Zep 3:16-20)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For Your sake we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep of slaughter." But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

My husband wrote this in his blog and I didn't feel like typing so read
below.
"The morning started off worse than an old Beatles
album. Yesterday, before I could wake up, fall out of
bed and drag a comb across my head, I discovered that
she'd already left home. There I was, minding my own
business, sleeping, when I was instantly awake--just
sat straight up . . . Awake. I thought that only
happened in the movies. I looked at the clock, 5:20
a.m., went out to see if my daughter ever locked the
back door (she was outside at midnight on her cell
phone . . . "be right in, daddy!" she said). I was
asleep even before I got in bed at quarter after
midnight . . .
Now, I was standing there looking at the unlocked back
door. Oh well. She probably forgot. My three girls
share a room right across from the bathroom . . . I
looked on them on my way to "check the plumbing" and
noticed my oldest daughter's comforter and pillows
were gone, clothes strewn everywhere. Top bunk empty .
. .
No 'Lisa.
I look in the lower bunk where two sisters lay
sleeping. . .
No 'Lisa.
I checked her oldest brother's room . . .
No 'Lisa.
I checked her little brother's room . . .
No 'Lisa.
I checked my room . . .
No 'Lisa.
I checked the couch . . .
No 'Lisa.
I checked outside . . .
No 'Lisa.
Thus began my morning.
By this time my wife woke and I asked her if she knew
where our 18 year-old was . . . And thus began her
morning.
A call on the cell-phone . . . She is an hour away at
her "friend's" house. She ran away. She is 18, you
know. Doesn't matter she is 12 weeks away from
finishing High School. She is with her "friend." She
has walked out on her job, responsibilities, etc. to
go and make a life for herself."
Please pray for us!
