This link will show you one of the orphanages in India that was built and is run by Independent Church in India. The little boy we sponsor is in the photo at the top of the page with all the children. HE is 12 years old! He is cared for in this orphanage. He is given good food, education, spiritual nourishment through teaching of the Gospel and most of all LOVE! These children are not adoptable. Many of them have families but the families are so poor that they are unable to care for their children. Some of the family members have leprosy and the children have no place to live or no food. ICII has also built colonies called leprosy colonies where those with leprosy can come and have a home and food and love and come to know Jesus Christ. They are treated medically and have a place to live. Some of the children living at ICII's orphanages are daughters or sons of some of these lepers.

Praise Him

This morning as I woke this song kept playing in my head and I found myself singing it over and over - maybe it was last week at Bible school with Ellianna that made this song get stuck in my head or maybe it was just the LORD reminding me of the simple but profound truth of praising HIM and what JOY can be found in PRAISE to the LORD! Just thought I would share....Praise Him praise Him all ye little Children!!

Praise Him praise Him all ye little children God is love God is love
Praise Him praise Him all ye little children God is love God is love

Love Him love Him all ye little children God is love God is love
Love Him love Him all ye little children God is love God is love

Give Him love and glory give Him worthy praise
Let us worship Jesus all of our days

Serve Him serve Him all ye little children God is love God is love
Serve Him serve Him all ye little children God is love God is love

Let us worship Jesus

                          Praise Him praise Him all ye little children God is love God is love
                          Praise Him praise Him all ye little children God is love God is love
                                                             God is love, God is love

Have you ever heard this quote

“ Complaining is the language of hell. Praise and thanksgiving make up the language of heaven.”

If you are in need of REAL JOY or a change in perspective, give thanks.

"May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light."
Colossians 1:11-12

                              Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances;
                                           for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
                                                          1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:20

Held by the Grip of God

I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me —Philippians 3:12

Never choose to be a worker for God, but once God has placed His call on you, woe be to you if you “turn aside to the right hand or to the left” (Deuteronomy 5:32). We are not here to work for God because we have chosen to do so, but because God has “laid hold of” us. And once He has done so, we never have this thought, “Well, I’m really not suited for this.” What you are to preach is also determined by God, not by your own natural leanings or desires. Keep your soul steadfastly related to God, and remember that you are called not simply to convey your testimony but also to preach the gospel. Every Christian must testify to the truth of God, but when it comes to the call to preach, there must be the agonizing grip of God’s hand on you— your life is in the grip of God for that very purpose. How many of us are held like that?
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are— you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do. . . I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).
