Welcome to My Homepage


The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,.
he restores my soul. .
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake..
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, .
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;.
your rod and your staff, they comfort me. .
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies..
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows..
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,.
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. .





The greatest sermons
I have ever heard were not preached from pulpits but from sickbeds.
The deepest truths of God's Word have often been taught
by those humble souls who have gone through the seminary of affliction.
The most cheerful people I have met,
with few exceptions, have been those who've had the least sunshine
and the most pain and suffering in their lives.
The most grateful people I have ever known
were not those who had traveled a pathway of roses all their lives,
but those who were confined to their homes, some to their beds,
and had learned to depend on God.

The gripers, on the other hand, are usually those
who have the least to complain about.
The men and women who are the most cheerful and
the most grateful for the blessings of Almighty God
are often those who have gone through the greatest trials.

The Bible tells us that if we respond properly to the trials of life,
we will develop patience and godly maturity (Romans 5:3-5; James 1:3-4).
We must keep in mind that our present sufferings are "but for a moment"
and that they are being used by God for our eternal good (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

So take heart, suffering one.
Someday you too will realize that it was worth it all (1 Peter 1:7).

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ. ?Esther Kerr Rusthoi
