(10/10/2000) a time to laugh


Hello prayer warriors, 1. Prayer note: a time to laugh [Ecclesiastes 3:4,5a] 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; When I was a high school student, I used to dread preparing for exams. Then one of my friends told me that it is better to toil now and relax later ... then to relax now and to regret later. That was an important lesson. Sometimes it is with our lives. It is better to weep now and to laugh later than to laugh now and weep later, it is better to mourn now and dance later than to dance now and mourn later. The reason why we can do that because we know and we know that ... [Romans 8:28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. As I said earlier, God intends every trial to be a progression in our walk with God if we allow God to heal us and to build us. I also believe that in order for us to laugh and to dance, we need to let go and to cast away stones first before we can gather stones together. We need to learn to let go and move on before we can gather what God has in store for our lives. And praise God that by now we should know that our present situation is not our final situation. 2. New prayer requests: i. Prayer for Emily -- hearts Emily is in 2nd grade & part of my Sunday school class. About a week ago, she woke up in a seizure. Her dad said that one side of her little face looked drawn. They took her to the doctor to have tests run. They called this week with the results & are concerned. They want to follow up with an mri as soon as possible. Please, please, pray for her. She has never had any past ailments, & this has seemed to come out of nowhere. Pray for her parents also, that they may have the strength to come through this. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=438&table=prayer ii. father & daughter: relationship restored -- guest In January 1998, my mother of 72 years old passed away. My mother was a wonderful lady full of compassion & kindness, she was a Christian mother of 8 children. My father & her were married for 56 years. After my mother passed away- i fulfilled her wish, she desired that i look after my father who is 81, so i gave up my home, & me & my children moved in with my father. He welcomed us with open arms, however after only 2-3 months of my mother's death, my father became very verbal & mentally abusive to my children. Up until this day. I am still waiting on the Lord to fix this situation. As I think about leaving for the best interest of me & my children my heart aches with pain, I don't want to leave however, the verbal abuse is too much for me to bear. I need prayer so that God may reveal his will for me in this situation. Also for God to restore the relationship between me & my father, so it may edify God. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=440&table=prayer iii. special needs for special people -- guest Pray for strength to reach the children. I am ready to do what God has ordained me to do. I need his strength & ability to do a job "well done." I have been working with children for a long time now & desire to be a bright light to those who are in need & that God will bless my life & allow me to travel to some orphanages this year. Pray for friends, family, & all my kindergarten students & their families. Pray God will bless me with more & more love to know & understand all the people that I listed above. Pray especially for a friend's salvation & desire to serve God. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=441&table=prayer iv. prayer for husband's salvation -- guest My husband George & I have been married almost 34 years.
