Whew!,..Wipe that ''sweat'' of your brow,...Get
up and get that
''Cup O'
Joe''...'Iced!'..Summer kinda popped up after a looong dreary Spring!
Put the ''A/C'' on
or crank up the fan and go have a ''seat'',..Careful .... You don't
want to stick to the
sofa!...
Last Week,.We
discussed very lightly on ''Post Traumatic Stress Disorder''.
Got allot of
response and the question of ''What do We do to Build a Relationship
with Our Loved Ones
Again''...What and Where do We Start..''HOW?''
Let's go right into
''Scripture'' and not ''Dally Around!''
Isaiah - 48:13...''
It was MY Hand that laid the Foundation of the earth-the palm
of My right hand
spread out the heavens above,.I spoke and they came into being''
GOD,..He's telling
us also that He..God,..is First and Last,..that He alone is God,..
He See's all,..Knows
all,..He knew Our name before Our conception,.and He
knows the day of Our
''End of Life''.
To ''Build a
Foundation'',..We First must Accept that God is the ''Master Carpenter''
of the Universe and
Our life,..and that to ''Build'' any Relationship with Anyone,.
We Must Start with
''GOD as the Cornerstone in Our life foundation.
Matthew -
13;55...''How is this possible? the people exclaimed. ''He's just a
Is it a coincidence
that ''Jesus''..Son of GOD,..was also 'born' into a house
that had a
''Carpenter'' ( Joseph ) as His adopted father?..
Ephesians
-2:20..''What a foundation you stand on now,. The Apostles and Prophets,..
and the Cornerstone
of the building is ''Jesus Christ'' himself!''
I Guess what I'm
getting at is that before We can build or ''repair'' any
relationship with
anybody,.We have to ''Start at Our Own Foundation''
That Foundation is
with God...Jesus,..who is the Master Carpenter..
Yea,.I know,..many
will say ''Shove all that 'Hokey Pokey' and Stop Preaching
But the ''Truth'' is
this,..I'll not tell You if it were not so,..The ''Bible'' which is
the ''Blueprint of
Life'' holds True,.2,000 years ago,..and Today!..
You must have a
Relationship with God
before you can have
a relationship with
anyone else,.even
Yourself!..
It is like trying to
build a ''Straw House''
on ''Wet
Sand''..Just won't hold up!..
Well,..Guess I
better Stop Preaching this stuff,..You Be the Judge!
''If you 'Build
it'..HE will come!''
Again,..about ''P.T.S.D.''..Take
time to truly search inside Yourself,..How
do You Feel,.Like an
''Apprentice Carpenter'' who listens...( God's Words-
and Families
suggestions )...Or are You a ''Bulldozer'' ready to De - struck!
Till next Week,..I'm
going to find my O'L ''Handy Andy Tool Kit''..and leave
my..''Wood-burning
Kit'' alone!...Remember those!
 
I Leave You with
these ''Parables''
''Relationships are
''Built'' on a Foundation of Love and Respect''
''Only God can
''Transform'' you into a Masterpiece of Grace''
''The hinge of
history is found on the door of a Bethlehem stable''
May God Truly Bless
All of You in Your Walk of Faith,..
Sherrie and I Pray
Each Day for All of You,..Our ''Warrior's'' in Harm's Way,.
and ''Our Great
Nation''..A Nation whose ''Foundation'' was built on the words
