Guidance

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse.
But if one stops the car, or is walking by, one will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.

Listening, one will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, one will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her bridle is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As one stands and watches these two friends, one sees how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is trusting that she will not lead him astray.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by God and those whom he places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see God.

If your vision is for a decade, plant trees.
If your vision is for a lifetime, plant children.

What to do after your anti-virus software cleans up your computer!

We are all very careful to check our computer's for viruses, right! But we may not know what to do afterwards. This is for Win XP.

 

Go to Start, Run and type "msconfig" minus the quotation marks then click ok.

Select Launch System Restore.

 

On the left side click on System Restore Settings.

 

Place a check in the Turn off System Restore and click ok

This will delete all previous restore points.

 

Let the computer do it's task.

 

I go one step further and create a new Restore Point and naming it as New Beginning (or whatever).

 

Failure to delete the restore points will reinstall viruses, spyware, etc... should you need to do a system restore. Don't forget to turn System Restore back on after the reboot

THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL POWER

"Then Peter took Jesus, and began to scold Him, saying, 'Not so!  May this never happen to You, Lord!'  But Jesus turned, and spoke sharply to Peter, saying, 'Get out of my sight, Satan!  You are a stumbling block to Me, because you do not have God's interests in mind, but your own interests'" (Matthew 16:22,23).

See how many times the disciples tried to correct the Lord. See how many times they argued with the Lord. See how many time their thoughts contradicted the Master. See how many times they urged Him to take action. And the Lord, ever patient, would correct them.

In every case we see that He is the Lord, and they are the disciples. The roles must never be confused. He is the Master, and we are His servants. We do not command Him, but He commands us. We do not direct Him, but He directs us. We do not lead Him, but He leads us. He was not created for us, but we were created for Him. He does not serve us according to our pleasure, but we serve Him according to His pleasure. So we must be adjusted to Him, and not the other way around. The Lord will never apologize to us and say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. We'll do it your way." How laughable! How absurd! But we often live as if we expect Him to do that very thing. We have not humbled ourselves.

Exodus 15:11 - "Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you - majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?"
