He Said... She Said...



[After private Bible Study in his home…]

HE:  I’m tired today. My legs are aching. Sometimes I get so discouraged…  not being able to do as much as I used to…
SHE:  What can I do? How can I help you?
HE:  I don’t know. I’ve tried the heating pad. It doesn’t seem to help.
SHE:  Can I get something for you?
HE:  No, I don’t think so. I’ve tried to rub them, but it’s hard to reach down that far.
SHE:  Do you want me to try? Maybe it would relax your muscles.
HE:  OK… It would feel so good if you could massage those calf muscles. Come on over here, dear.
[And she knelt down in front of his chair and massaged his ankles and calves]
HE:  Ah, that’s nice. Could you rub my thighs. That’s where I get those terrible cramps.
[And she did as she was asked because she felt sad for his pain and wanted to help him]
HE:  Rub higher… yes, that's it... higher...it’s OK, dear… Keep going. You give me such comfort.
[And she felt uneasy and confused, but followed his directions. He was her mentor... her teacher... her friend.]

BIBLE VERSES TO HELP ME___________________________________

Psalms 37:40—"And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him."

Jeremiah 23:1-4—"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture" declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: "You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, , and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds," declares the Lord. "Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing," declares the Lord.

UNFINISHED MELODY

Someday, Lord I pray,
there will be a place for me,
where ears take time to listen,
where eyes take time to see.
A place where I can laugh and cry
and know that I belong.
Someday, that's where
I will sing my song.

And someday, Lord I pray, in a place......

SERMONS

The Power of Pentecost
This sermon helped me so much... and gave me the push I needed to begin the healing process in earnest. Thank you to the minister who wasn't afraid to preach it!

Looking Forward In Faith
[part 1]


[part 2]

During a recent Sunday morning worship service I was blessed to hear a sermon that spoke to my heart, and reminded me that I am forgiven. I will cling to these words as I continue to move from victim to survivor to thriver.

Oh, For the Wings of a Dove

[Mendelssohn]
Oh, for the wings,
for the wings of a dove,
Far away,
far away would I rove!
Oh, for the wings,
for the wings of a dove,
Far away,
far away, far away,
far away would I rove!

In the wilderness
build me a nest,
And remain there
forever at rest
In the wilderness
build me, build me a nest,
And remain
there forever at rest
