What are you EXPECTING TODAY?

"…Open wide your mouth and I will fill it" (Psalm 81:10, NIV).
"Do you have your mouth open wide today?" In other words, are you expecting
God to fill you and increase you beyond measure? Negative thinking
closes you to what God wants to do in your life. If you go around
thinking, "Well, I don't think I'll ever meet my sales goals this year
with the economy like it is"; or "I don't think I'll ever get promoted.
I'm not that qualified"; or "I don't think I'll ever get well", then
the problem is that your mouth is barely open. But Jesus said,
"According to your faith it will be done unto you." He might as well
have said, "If you've got a cup, I'll fill you with a cup level of
blessing. If you've got a bucket, I'll fill you with a bucket level of
blessing."
Jesus is saying today, why don't you take the limits off? Why don't you believe for
supernatural opportunities? Why don't you go out each day expecting
increase and promotion? Expect favor, expect peace, expect joy. If
you'll go out each day expecting far-and-beyond favor, if you'll "open
wide your mouth", you won't be disappointed. He'll fill your cup until
it overflows so that you can live the abundant life He has in store for
you.
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, I come before You today with an open and humble heart, ready
to receive all You have for me. Teach me to live a life that is
pleasing to You so that I can be an example of Your love in the world
around me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Signs of a Stroke

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
???????(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

Prayer that we all need to say and beleive

This is a beautiful and thoughtful prayer. If you delete it is ok. God's love is not dependent on a-mail (that's the cool part). PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!! IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE. I started not to do this, but as I read it.... I understood God to say, "You need a miracle tomorrow.... so here goes... Prov. 29:25...

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an under standing God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my! mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it. If you prayed this prayer, change the number in the subject box before forwarding the message so people can See how many people have done so. God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!
