HOLY MOMENTS

_________________________

Matthew 18:15-20 (NRSV)

"If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."

Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."

- Matthew 18:20 (NRSV)

THE telephone rang mid-afternoon. The caller was a woman from our congregation whom I knew only casually. She spoke with some concern, "We have a problem at the church, and I am wondering if you and a few others would join me for an hour of prayer each week."

"Of course I will," was my reply. We decided that we would read a Bible verse, listen to God in silence, spend time sharing our concerns with the Lord, and giving thanks. We prayed for wisdom and guidance for those in leadership, for willingness to listen to one another non-judgmentally, and that we might all be faithful to God's word. I believe our prayers are still being answered to this day.

There were other benefits for those of us who met to pray. Our time together was uplifting, a growing experience. It brought us closer to the Lord and to one another as members of the Body of Christ. What is most special about any fellowship of prayer is that we have Jesus' own promise that he is among us. And because he is, such prayer times are holy moments.


Prayer: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being among us as we come to you
in prayer. Amen.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Prayer does as much for those who pray as for those who are prayed for.

-- Harold Gniewotta (Alberta, Canada)

PRAYER FOCUS: Churches in conflict

Description of the Miniature Donkey..



Miniature donkeys are native to the Mediterranean Islands of Sicily and Sardinia, and have been in the U.S. since the 1920s. They are by nature people loving, affectionate, and intelligent with an I.Q. only SLIGHTLY lower than their owners! The average life span is 30 years. The males are called jacks, the females are jennies or jennets, and the babies are referred to as foals. Height cannot exceed 36". Most weigh between 200 and 350 lbs. at maturity. Their small size and carefree nature make them easy to handle for both children and adults.


The gestation period is 11.5 to 13 months insuring a prospective breeder a more stable market due to limited numbers. The investment potential is very attractive, assuming you can part with them. Gray-dun is the predominate color, but miniatures can be found in black, brown, spotted, and sorrel. Legend says that the shadow of the Cross of Jesus fell across the donkey's back while at the Crucifixion which explains the characteristic "cross" you see on the back and shoulders of the donkey.
