OUR GREATEST SONGS ARE STILL UNSUNG!
Do you dread the future? Or will you warmly welcome it as you would a new friend? Senator Hubert Humphrey, a man with an indomitable zest for living, once talked about the "good old days." He said, "They were never that good, believe me. The good new days are today, and better days are coming tomorrow. Our greatest songs are still unsung."What a marvelous spirit! Our greatest songs are still unsung! Quite adifferent spirit is found in a business magazine ad that pictures a newborn baby with the caption: "Only 22,463 days until retirement."The ad is cute, but it picks up on a spirit of our day. It is a spirit of worry and anxiety. It is a spirit that tells us, "You don't know what the future holds! It is likely to be bleak; even disastrous! You can never be too careful!" You know what spirit I mean.I have always believed in the future. And I will look forward to it with great anticipation. Why shouldn't I make friends with the future? After all, I intend to spend the rest of my life there! I am intrigued by a story about a bishop back in the 1870s. Thebishop had charge of a small denominational college. Annually, he visited the school and stayed in the home of the president.The bishop was a narrow thinker with a dim view of the future. He told the school president during one of those visits that everything that could be invented had already been invented.The administrator disagreed. "In 50 years," he contested, "people will learn to fly like birds."That kind of talk greatly disturbed the bishop. "Flight is reserved for birds and angels," he said emphatically, "and you, sir, are guilty of blasphemy!"The name of the bishop was Milton Wright. That name may not have agreat deal of meaning to you, but something else will. You see, back at home, this clergyman had two enthusiastic sons - Orville andWilbur - who believed that our greatest songs were still unsung! The rest of the story is one of an enthusiastic belief in tomorrow. You know how it ends.Do you believe that your greatest songs are still unsung? Will you joyously welcome tomorrow, and all the tomorrows to come? Supported by those we hold dear and under girded by faith, we, too, can share an enthusiastic belief in tomorrow!__________From JOY ALONG THE WAY http://www.lifesupportsystem.com/joyalongway.html

Happy Labor Day
Hope everyone had a great day yesterday and I hope everyone has a great Labor Day today.
THIS WEEKS PRAYER
This week take heed to the still small voice of the Lord when He calls you to action in certain areas of your life. Pray for the primary elections and ask God to help you and others vote for those of His choosing. Pray for the persecuted church and ask the Lord to strengthen those tortured and imprisoned for their faith. Continue to pray for the overthrow of tyrannical governments, the protection and peace of Israel, and the spread of the gospel throughout the Middle East. John 10:3-5; Hebrews 13:8
