Benediction Blessing

READ: Numbers 6:22-27

The Lord bless you and keep you. —Numbers 6:24



Our church introduced a new practice for the close of our traditional morning worship service. We turn to one another and sing the familiar Aaronic blessing the Lord gave to Moses to give to Israel: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you . . .” (Num. 6:24-26). Our hearts are uplifted as we mutually catch the eye of a fellow believer and extend our blessing to him or her.



One Sunday, I noticed a heartwarming and special exchange that has now become a weekly event. In a pew near the front sat Oscar and Marian Carlson, faithful followers of Jesus Christ and devoted partners for the 62 years of their married life. When we began to sing, Oscar reached over and took Marian’s hands in his. They sang the opening words of this special blessing to each other before looking to others. Everyone nearby sneaked a peek at the look of love and tenderness on their faces.



A benediction is not simply a ritualistic closing; it’s a genuine prayerful wish for God’s goodness to follow the other person. In offering it to one another, Oscar and Marian exemplify its warmest and deepest meaning. In blessing others, we express gratitude for what God has done for us through Christ’s death (Heb. 13:20-21). — David C. Egner



Bless me, Lord, and make me a blessing;

I’ll gladly your message convey;

Use me to help some poor needy soul,

And make me a blessing today. —Anon.



God gives blessing to us so we can be a blessing to others.

kop-ed from pastor shirley's blog



525,600 minutes. 525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights? In cups of coffee?

In inches? In miles? In laughter? In strife?

In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in a life?

How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of love.



525,600 minutes. 525,000 journeys to plan.

525,600 minutes - how do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried?

In bridges he burned, or the way that she died?

It’s time now to sing out. Though the story never ends, let’s celebrate.

Remember a year in the life of friends.

Remember the love. Measure in love. Seasons of love.



Hmm, i think th thing is, how've your walk with God been like so far? Th first week of 7 days in 2oo9 had just passed. How is your investment been like? Are you going to see it rising up or going down? Many worldly temptations around, but God should always be th center of your life, yeah. So rmb to keep God in th center of your life :DD



jiayouu!

Anyway, i hope you guys are doing good (: Well, in th midst of unhappiness (bcos you're going back to sch) or happiness (get to see friends again) and many types of emotion state tht you can think of, let's not forget our Almighty Creator, our Father alright? Always keep yourself prayerful and of course, keep Him as your 1st priority!



Psalms 16:7-11

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.



Also, rmb His covenant with us. His promises, His plan for us. Th great commission and many many more... keep in mind (:



Psalms 103:13-18

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.



Everyone, let's rly give our best in starting our 2009 right ohkayy!



For dmm peeps, let's warmly welcome Yeetat & Siyu to UDMM :D



JIAYOU & see you guys tmr :P

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 :D



hey guys, panda over here! I just found a really awesome video and i think you guys should really watch it and listen to wht Jeremy camp have to say.


lyrics:

Verse 1:

Hear now this Declaration from out across the nation, we need to wake up and understand. Many hurting hearts are crying, but our voices seem to be dying, can you see this battle raging on?



Chorus:

We are the light to reach this world, we are the salt preserving these souls. lets show them all the love that we've received. We are, we are in desperation. we need to reach this generation, we are speaking louder than before. we are the hope that's been forgotten, we have a love that has been brought & we are speaking louder than before.



Verse 2:

Take every chance that you can, move together, taking a stand, never losing heart, we'll speak as one. We need to be the image of christ, to show love and serve at all times.we can make a difference in this land,



Everything's surreal, but this urgency I fell, we should be reachung out to all these desperate pleas, the need is real, can't you feel this call to revolution? My beating heart is breaking for them. that's why I am speaking up, that's why I am speaking now.



back to wht i wanted to say:

I really agreed with wht he said and in 2009, let's SPEAK LOUDER THAN BEFORE. Louder than 2005.. than 2007, than 2008, LOUDER LOUDER AND LOUDER of our Father's love! This video/song in fact, tell us wht and how we should start 2009! SPEAK LOUDER THAN BEFORE :D



Enjoy your first day of th year!
