Apr. 30, 2008 - Apr. 28, 2008 - BFS #25 - Pay It Forward
Hello Ladies! I pray that everyone is having a great week and that your mountains have become your molehills. If that makes sense to anyone but me...LOL. Thank you for submitting some new ideas for me to use. I got this idea from Pat and her beautiful daughter-in-love, Jenny in an email about two weeks ago, so I decided to use it first. I quoted her email here to give the directions.
"what if you took Jennys idea about showers of blessings and if we all told about a time God showered us with a blessing and how we paid it forward to bless someone else or how we had done something for another and in turn were blessed." Share a verse or worship song that touches your heart for this assignment.
A few weeks ago my family and I had $100 that we had lost and we had very very little groceries in the house. This was very unexpected. Well my in-laws gave us $100 to go get groceries and not expecting anything back in return. It was such a blessing. Well we were able to pay it forward back to them here recently. It was nothing like what they did for us but they underwent an unexpected family emergency and they have an elderly lady there who is nearly bedridden but is still able to get in a wheelchair and allow someone to push her. well its my grandmother in law. She is also a diabetic. Anyways, my mother in law was unable to go anywhere at the time because her vehicle wasnt at home and she hadnt been able to go grocery shopping yet and didnt have anything to eat for her. So my hubby and I were able to cook her some food and take it over there and feed them a meal. and they were able to feed her. I know it was something so small but we were so grateful just to be able to do that little thing for them. they do so much for us that we were just thrilled to pay it forward back to them. My song that I chose that touches my heart is called "God Loves You"
God Loves You
Hope, like a flower will push through the smallest crack in your broken heart
And out of the deep darkest night will shine the brightest burning star
Oh its there like a half remembered song
the thing thats so familiar but have known all along
God loves you and He wants you to know
He is with you You are not alone
HE will see you through. God Loves you
Tears are just water and salt but a thimble full can make oceans wide
But trust that just one gentle wind can sail you to the other side
Oh its there like a whisper on the breeze
the truth thats so familiar but so hard to believe
God loves you and HE wants you to know
HE is with you you are not alone
HE will see you through. God loves you
You dont have to be anywhere near perfect
You dont ever have to prove a thing
You are loved you are loved
So far beyond your imagination
God loves you and He wants you to know
He is with you you are not alone
He will see you through. God loves you
He loves you He loves you
