Jesus, prop us up on our leanin' side.
We all could use a little propping up!! Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old deacon who always prayed, Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side. After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so fervently.
He answered, 'Well sir, you see, it's like this...I got an old barn out back.It's been there a long time, it's withstood a lot of weather, it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years.It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit.So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its leaning side so it wouldn't fall.Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was like that old barn. I've been around a long time. I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask theLord to prop us up on our leaning side, cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning, at times.
.Sometime we get to leaning toward anger, leaning toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't.
So we need to pray, 'Lord, prop us up on our leaning side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the Lord.
'Stop telling God how big your storm is and start telling the storm how big your God is'.

VALENTINE'S DAY 2008 What a treat this morning to hear the chip, chip, chip of our neighborhood female Cardinal. Yes, they hang around all winter but there will be no love songs until spring really arrives! Still, the very sound of this little creature is a gift that says, "spring will follow soon". Seasons are a reminder ofGod's Faithfullness. New life, new hope and another season of new birth! Thanks Lord for HOPE!
