God is in control of the times and
seasons. Some times are hard, and
some seasons are dry. so the
conclusion is: God is in control of
hard times and dry seasons.

Though the fig tree does not bloom
and no fruit is on the vines; though
the produce of the olive fails and the
fields yield no food, though the flock
is cut off from the fold and there is no
herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in
the Lord; I will exult in the God
of my salvation.
Read Habakkuk 3:17-18

Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You
for the benefits of pain and suffering.
Enable us to learn and never forget
what You are teaching us. Amen.

Poetry By Bob Hefner

God Is In It

I used to think of cancer as a curse,
That as an event nothing could be worse.
But when God is in it I now can see,
It's really a privilege that cancer happened to me.
»†«
So many kind, loving people that I would never have met--
Encouraging words, cards and letters that I'll never forget.
I'm not saying that having cancer is something fun,
Or that I'd recommend it for each and every one.
»†«
Don't live your life with fear and dread,
Just know God's in charge and trust him instead.
Nothing that happens to you takes Him by surprise--
What you see as a catastrophe may be a blessing in disguise.
»†«
Trust God with your eternal, everlasting soul,
And make pleasing Him your every day goal.
Then place in His keeping your body and health,
He'll do much more for you than you can do for yourself.
»†«
Whatever happens He'll be by your side--
You'll never find Him preoccupied.
He's alert and watchful and you're safe in His care.
You're never alone, He's always there.
»†«
So my friend don't you worry and don't pity me,
I'm not under bondage but instead I'm set free.
I'm not without trouble and I may go through pain,
But since God is in it, it's all for my gain.

that you are living, was written long ago.

important. In this book you are the "Star".

chapter as you go..... taking time to turn the pages!


DEVELOP THE RIGHT (SELF) ATTITUDE

Here are 10 suggestions to help you develop and maintain a healthy
self-image. Read them slowly. Meditate on them regularly.

1. Hate your sin, but never hate yourself.

2. Be quick to repent.

3. When God gives you light, walk in it.

4. Stop saying negative things about yourself. God loves you and it's wrong
to hate what He loves. He has great plans for you, so you're in conflict
with Him when you speak negatively concerning your future.

5. Never be afraid to admit that you've made a mistake and don't always
assume that when things go wrong, it must be 'my fault.'
6. Don't meditate excessively on what you've done, right or wrong; both of
these activities keep your mind on you!

7. Take good care of yourself physically. Make the best of what God gave
you to work with, but don't be obsessed with your appearance.

8. Never stop learning but don't allow your education to become a point of
pride. God doesn't use you because of what's in your head: He uses you
because of what's in your heart.

9. Realize that your talents are a gift, not something you have manufactured
yourself; never look down on people who can't do what you do.

10. Don't despise your weaknesses they keep you dependent on God.

My Heart Will Carry You

As I sit and stare out at the stars, it occurs
to me how far apart we are.

We gave our hearts, one to another.
But soon our love made us feel we would smother.

Where was it that we lost you and I?
More is the question... Why?

Such a strong and passionate love we once had.
When was it, why didn't we notice, that it had gone bad.

I still care greatly for you.
I hope as much, for me, you do.

Saying good-bye is hard for me.
I love you still, you see.

Shed tears? Let us not do.
For my dear, My Heart Shall Always Carry You.

Judge Gently

Pray, don't find fault with the man that limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view.
Or the burden he bears placed on your back
Might cause you to stumble too.

Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall or felt the shame
That only the fallen know.

You may be strong but still the blows
That was his if dealt to you
In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time
Might cause you to stagger too.

Don't be too harsh with the man that sins
Or pelt him with word or stone
Unless you are sure - yea, doubly sure -
That you have no sins of your own.

For you know, perhaps,
If the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray
It might cause you to falter too.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND

Friendship begins with the meeting of someone along the path of life.
Someone you get to know, and gradually get to know even better.
You discover what a joy it is to spend your moments with this person. It is
nice the way good feelings remain. The happiness lasts, and the memories you
make start to turn into some of your favorite treasures.
Friendship is two paths converging on the way to the same beautiful view.

FRIENDSHIP IS WALKING THE WAY TOGETHER...
Friendship is opening up to one another. Sharing thoughts and feelings in a
way that never felt very comfortable before. It is a complete trust,
sweetened with a lot more understanding and communication than many people
will ever know.
Friendship is two hearts that share and which are able to say things no
outsiders ever could.
Friendship is an inner door that only a friend has the key to.
Friendship is a gift, continually giving happiness. It is strong and
supportive, and few things in all the world will ever compare with the joy
that comes from its wonderful bond.

I want you to know that our friendship is one thing I'll cerish all my life,
and it's something that you can always count on.
Mia Evans

MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY TODAY
Tess was a precocious eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking
about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was
that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were
moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn't have the money
for the doctor bills and our house. Only a very costly surgery could save
him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She
heard Daddy say to her
tearful Mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle
can save him now."

Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from is hiding
place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted
it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be
exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the
coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door
and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian
Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was
too intently talking to another man to be bothered by an eight year old at
this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a
scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting
sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and
banged it on the glass counter.
That did it!

"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said
without waiting for a reply to his question.

"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the
same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick ... and I want to buy a
miracle."

"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist. "His name is Andrew and he has
something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can
save him now. So how much does a miracle
cost?"

"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm you." the pharmacist said,
softening a little.

"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it the rest. Just tell me how
much it costs." The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man.
He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your
brother need?"

"I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's
really sick and Mommy says he needs a operation.
But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.

"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.

"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all
the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents --
the exact price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten
and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet
your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need." That well
dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a
surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without
charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom
and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to
this place. "That surgery,"
her mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have
cost?" Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle
cost... one dollar and eleven cents...plus the faith of a little child.
