ONE MORAL OF ANTS, ARE YOU AN ANT?
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,
building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs
and dances and plays the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter,
so he dies out in the cold.
(MORE AND MORE, that is the way things seems
to be. The hardest working people struggle,
(struggle with the demand of the jobs,
struggle with over demanding bosses and
'higher-ups', and even struggle to get jobs.
While some have the best of everything,
best schools, highest salaries, and easiest jobs
that pay extremely well, look down their noses
at the 'lower class' thinking they are so much better..
(while the 'lower class' struggles paying their salaries)
And then there are those who have just never worked,
never care to work, nor plan to work, and fuss and complain
because they have to file papers to get their lively hood handed
to them on a platter.... GO FIGURE...
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS
TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF!
BE HAPPY WITH ALL THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU,
TRUST IN HIM, AND HELP OTHERS..

God already knew this would happen...
His Word is always true!

IN WAY OF PRAYER FOR TODAY,
THIS SONG SAYS A LOT!
THE HEALER (lyrics)
Lord, You are the healer
You keep every vow
Oh Blessed soul redeemer
Reach out and touch me now
Lord, You are the healer
I believe it's for today
I know that you can heal me I receive it by faith
Lord, You are the healer
Oh please don't pass me by
Yes, You can make me better
I know you hear my cry
Now in the name of Jesus
comes power from on high Lord,
You're the greatest healer I entrust you with my life
Lord, You are the healer
Oh bright and morning star
I thank you for this feeling
That flows right from your heart
I will always Love you
And I will sing your praise
Lord, You are my healer
And I like it that way
Lord, You are the healer

How Great Is Our God lyrics
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice, Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands, And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end, Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God, How great is our God,
sing with me How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, how great is our God
HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING..
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU,
THANK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS..
REMEMBER:
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I, in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20
