Meditation

"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.

Friends In Need


How we love to talk to our friends, about our troubles and such. But what about the friends that know that you are in trouble without us telling them? Friends in Christ will pray for you even when you don't ask them to. Do you have friends? Fellowship with people who love God will open the door for plenty of prayer from those who practice good worship. Everybody doing the some thing, giving God our requests in Jesus name. Asking for God to give us a little help for someone else. Then when we do this, our own prayers will get a chance to get to him. He loves when we care about others. This is the ultimate friendship.

Taste the Happiness of Giving


It was our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, and if allowed its way, it will in time disturb one's spiritual balance. Therefore, children must early learn the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.
