carboard testimonies

News update: My grandfather who I blogged about last is now in a wonderful nursing home. It's nearly like a hospital except you can get to know the people and he says that the food is better. He is starting to eat again, but his body is so week he does not have the strength to keep his dentures in and so everything he eats is liquefied. It is a miracle that he is doing better and all of this is because of God.

I've been thinking for a while now of what I want to blog about. If you have the time, I promise it's totally worth it. It made me wonder what my cardboard testimony would be, and I'm still thinking about it. I thought that I could upload the videos on my blog, but apparently I can't. (all you need to do it go to www.youtube.com and type in cardboard testimonies.)

a.prayer.request.

Hello again everyone! I just have a quick request for you to please pray for.
My grandfather (my mom's mom) is not doing well at all.
It's not a matter of "if " anymore but "when" for him. He is 91 years old, but the pictures I have of him in my mind are young. Most of all I want God's will to be done in this, but it has been hard because I think of what I want for him. He was put into an assisted living residence the middle of my AIM time. Now, he is declined to live in assisted living and will be submitted to a nursing home. He is rapidly decreasing day by day and refusing to eat, which is making him dehydrated, and is making a decline to do ANYTHING for himself. Since he is not eating or drinking, this is a sign that he is giving up.
Please, please, please keep this situation and my grandpa in your prayers. I would really apprecitate it.

I really like this quote...

In every area of your life,

be generous when you don't have to be.

In relationships,

forgive freely, show kindness, and be gentle.

At work, give your best,

do more than is expected, and live with integrity.

In service to God's people,

give generously, serve willingly,

and lay down your life for the sake of the Lord.

Go the second mile!

The world sees us on the first mile;

they see Christ on the second.
