The 7 Ups!

1. Wake Up!!

Decide to have a good day.

"This is the day the Lord hath made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up!!

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart."

I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!!

Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do
twice as much listening as talking.

"He who guards his lips guards his soul."

Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!

. . . for what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.

"Let us not be weary in doing good;
for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity,
let us do good..."

Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!

. . . to the Lord.

"I can do everything
through Christ
who strengthens me".

Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!

. . . for something higher.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him,
and He will direct your path."

Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!

. . . your Prayers.

"Do not worry about anything;
instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Philippians 4:6

A Positive Thought

If God had a refrigerator,
your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring,
and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk,
He'll listen.

He could live anywhere in the universe,
and He chose your heart.

Brandon and the Neighbor, (a true story as told by N. Chillers)

My sister shared a story with me yesterday about her 6 year old son, Brandon, and the next door neighbor. I shared the story with co-workers, and they encouraged me to put in the form of email to be shared with others.

Brandon takes the dog out every morning around 7:00 a.m. While taking the dog out on Wednesday morning, Brandon sings, "I love you! I love you! I love you, Lord, today! Because you cared for me, in such a special way! That's why I praise you, I lift you up, I magnify your name! That's why my heart is filled with praise!"

Thursday evening, the neighbor came by a testified that while Brandon is singing the song, she can hear him when she's in the bathroom. Overwhelmed with raising 3 teenagers, and problems at work, the neighbor becomes fill with the spirit and begins to cry and worship right there in her bathroom. From there, she takes it to work with her, share her testimony with a colleague, and they both become filled with the spirit. She kept singing the song all day. The next morning (Friday), she waited in the bathroom to hear Brandon sing his song, and, sure enough, he sang the same song the very next day.

She came next door to share with my sister and my mother about how she heard Brandon singing, and that she was filled with the spirit that carried her through those two days. She also began to testify about raising her kids, and work, and how overwhelmed she had been, and began to cry and worship right there with them.

That is awesome!
