If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. When you want to talk, He'll listen. He could live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart. And that Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem? Face it friend, He Loves you, and so do I!God Bless...

1. Wake Up - Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice & be glad in it" Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up - The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart" I Sam 16:7 3. Shut Up - Say nice things & learn to listen. God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul" Proverbs 13:3 "Gossip betrays confidence; avoid men who talk too much" Proverbs 20:19 "Listen to advice, accept instruction and in the end, you will be wise" Proverbs 19:20 4. Stand Up - For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up - To the Lord. "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" Phillipians 4:13 6. Reach Up - For something higher. As Jiminy Cricket sings "High Hopes" Always try to better yourself. 7. Lift Up - Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING" Phillipians 4:6

THREE PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS MEXICAN:
1. His first name was Jesus 2. He was bilingual 3. He was always being harassed by the authorities
But then there were equally good arguments that...
JESUS WAS BLACK
1. He called everybody "brother" 2. He liked Gospel 3. He couldn't get a fair trial
JESUS WAS JEWISH
1. He went into His Father`s business 2. He lived at home until he was 33 3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin, and his Mother was sure he was God
JESUS WAS ITALIAN
1. He talked with his hands 2. He had wine with every meal 3. He used olive oil
JESUS WAS A CALIFORNIAN
1. He never cut his hair 2. He walked around barefoot 3. He started a new religion
JESUS WAS IRISH
1. He never got married 2. He was always telling stories 3. He loved green pastures
But perhaps the most compelling evidence ...
THREE PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS A WOMAN
1. He had to feed a crowd at a moment`s notice when there was no food 2. He kept trying to get the message across to a bunch of men who JUST DIDN'T GET IT. 3. Even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was more work for him to do.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness..........you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation.......you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death.........you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep.............you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace.......you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married........you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful.........you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder.......you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you prayed yesterday and today........you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.
If you believe in Jesus as the son of God and as your Saviour.........you are blessed as being part of a small minority in the world.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair and wished I was as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and wore a crutch. But as she passed, a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play. He did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word. And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 ears, the world is mine. With feet to take me where I'd go. With eyes to see the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I'd know. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.
