NEW LIFE! NEW HOPE!


 
REVITALIZE 

That’s the word for today here on the Front Porch...

 

REVITALIZE…bring new life or hope to something…

That is what this little journey has been for me…to look at those things dormant,

dying or damaged in my life…

those things shoved to the back, overlooked, even neglected…

REVITALIZE….

dreams, goals, and visions…

our word for 2013 for our little church congregation is

THINK BIG!

I want to also use that encouragement in my personal life.

 

REVITALIZE

 AND

THINK BIG

Pretty good team!

Pull out the old files,

Search through the boxes,

Dig back in the closet and find those  

dreams and goals

that seems too hard,

 perhaps it appears is too late for

or maybe feel too old for…

REVITALIZE…

bring new life and hope to things that seems impossible

WHY?

That is one of the attributes of God…

He REVITALIZED…

brought new life to His Son who has been beaten, tortured and crucified on the cross. 

Jesus had to endure this…had to be done…so that we could experience

New life and hope

REVITALIZE

God specializes in the resurrection of body, soul and spirit.

Remember our talk about ‘Down for the Count’...

we get the breath knocked out of us quite often…

not necessarily literally (hope not)

but spiritually, emotionally, financially.

When (not if) this happens look to God to

REVITALIZE

He is Hope…and New Life…

So getting to ‘over and out’ on this little journey…

just a few more ‘ize’ words on the list...

I have never quite done anything like this…

got this list,

pondered this list,

 studied this list,

 thought about this list,

 pretty much consumed a great deal of my time…

but in the process I have felt some dreams and goals

 REVITALIZE…

Start where you are..

Start small…

(BUT THINK BIG!)

One step at a time…

Stay Steady…

REVITALIZE

Glad you have dropped in to visit...

So, a few more invitations to meet me here…

then what? 

Hmmm, oh I love coming to the front porch…

so I will let you know when I’ll be talking a ‘sit a while’ spell…

until tomorrow…

Find something in your life to

REVITALIZE…

Relationship with God, with others, dig out those dreams, dust off those goals
and re-visit those visions…

REVITALIZE

Until tomorrow…
Right here on the Front Porch!
