Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

It is often said that actions speak louder than words and watch what people do rather than what they say. Our ways of behaving come from within and reflect who we really are. We have harsh words for people who speak one thing and do another, words that society has used for centuries when actions and words are not in sync.

Prayer of the Day: Dear Father in heaven, we know that our daily life may not always be filled with good works. We know that sometimes others may look at us and think our words are not matching how we go about our day. Yet we always strive, with your help and guidance, to be a compassionate and caring person, one who respects others of all races, creeds and cultures. AMEN ... See MoreSee Less

And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Prayer of the Day: Dear Lord, through worship we become closer to you. Worship helps us focus on you. Worship helps us settle our minds and our hearts in praise of you. As we pray, as we sing, as we listen, let us be ever mindful that it is to you that we worship. AMEN ... See MoreSee Less
