E-News from Tom: 08/06/10

Hello E-News Friends,

I want to give you a TGIF gift. Here it is...

I hope each of you who read this e-mail take a moment to slow down and acknowledge that God is intensely aware of you right now. He is not distant. Pause for a second and think about that. He knows the desires of your heart. Breathe in the air He has created to sustain your life. Take a deeper breath of that air. Thank Him for that air. Just be still for a minute as you continue to take in slow breaths of air.

Now read 1 John 4:9-11.
"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."

Take a deep breath and read it again. Thank Him that "no matter what" He loves you. The rest of today be more loving to those around you. You can do it. Ask Him to help you. It does make a difference in your life.

In His Love,
Tom
