Saturday 5/16/15 Old Man, Old Story! (8)

Dear Father in Heaven: I love You, and I want to thank You and give You the glory for taking care of me and a health issue I had yesterday. All honor and glory for it, Lord. Lord, please protect our nation and please protect Your people as we have another good weather weekend. Lord, please protect this line and please help me with the daily message and to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, yesterday morning Dolores and I were about to pull out to run around and get a few things done away from our earthly home. When I got up yesterday one of my few hernias was pushed out and really burning and stinging. I told Dolores I cannot get it pushed back in. My doctor warned me that this day would come. I told Dolores we might be going to the ER. So before I even started the car, we called upon the Lord to handle the problem and as Dolores prayed and I screamed out in pain, the Lord took care of the problem. The pain in that spot is gone, the stinging and burning is gone and the hernia is back in. All honor and glory to God. YES, ALL HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD.

Brothers and sisters, I am sure having fun writing this series, Old Man, Old Story. I sure hope the Lord's messages are coming through me having fun as I write. Today I want to talk to you about a really good story. This happened long ago already, so let me get started with Old Man, Old Story.

Saturday: May 16, 2015: Old Man, Old Story (Day Eight)

I Love to Tell the Story: (Catherine Hankey, William G. Fischer)

Chorus:

I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my theme in glory.
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my theme in glory.
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

Matthew 7:12 - "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the laws of the Prophets." (NIV)

You all I am sure know this scripture put this way: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." More than likely your parents taught you this, or maybe a school teacher or a Sunday school teacher also reinforced this, what we learned as "The Golden Rule." If all of us, yes, all of us, would lead our lives with this, it would all work better in all of our lives and it would work better for us each day. So as I talk to you just a tad today, let me tell you this. If we would just learn to start each day with some singing and praising the Lord and then as you go through the day we remember the "Two Great Commandments," Love God and Love your neighbors" and also remember to apply them and also apply "The Golden Rule," each day would go better for all of us. Do you agree on this one? Let's pray about it.

Dear Father in Heaven: Please forgive us each day as we start out without You. Please help us work with You each day, remember the Great Commandments and love You, and we love others and treat them with all the respect that we would have others do to us. Lord, it sounds so simple that You would think we would get it right. However, it seems that we just want to walk out on our own. Please help us get it right each day and come to You first. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Now please pray and then go forth sharing your blessings and loving God and loving others. Love ya. And by all means please also share my love with others.

Pastor Dan
