Ps. 95:6 The Lord has a special interest in the families of His children here below. Angels offer the smoke of the fragrant incense for the praying saints. Then in every family let prayer ascend to heaven both at morning and at the cool sunset hour, in our behalf presenting before God the Saviour's merits. Morning and evening the heavenly universe takes notice of every praying household. Come in humility with a heart full of tenderness and with a sense of the temptations and dangers before yourselves and your children; by faith bind them upon the altar, entreating for them the care of the Lord. Ministering angels will guard children who are thus dedicated to God. Family worship should not be governed by circumstances. You are not to pray occasionally, and when you have a large day's work, neglect it. In thus doing you lead your children to look upon prayer as of no special consequence. Prayer means very much to the children of God, and thank offerings should come up before God morning and evening. Says the Psalmist, "O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." It should be a pleasure to worship the Lord. . . . He desires that those who come to worship Him shall carry away with them precious thoughts of His care and love, that they may be cheered in all the employments of daily life, that they may have grace to deal honestly and faithfully in all things. In the home it is possible to have a little church which will honor and glorify the Redeemer. When we have good home religion we will have excellent meeting religion.

You might be short on time or short on healthy options. You might be trying to cut calories. Or maybe you just don’t feel like eating early in the day. Why bother with breakfast? Compared to people who don’t eat breakfast, those who do perform better at work and in school, have a higher intake of important nutrients and fiber, and avoid mood swings and irritability from hunger. Eating breakfast is also crucial to weight control. What are the basics of a healthy breakfast? Think 4 ingredients: Fiber — 100% whole-grain breads, cereals or tortillas. Fruit and vegetables — any and all. Protein — Nuts and nut butters, hard-boiled eggs, lean meats, fish,. Dairy — skim milk, low- or non-fat yogurt and cheeses. Non-Dairy choices - Almond or Silk Milk When time is short, a healthy breakfast can take less than 15 minutes. And you’ll find many easy, creative choices, such as those listed below. To overcome a lack of appetite, start small, with a glass of juice or carton of yogurt, and get in the breakfast habit by sampling different things. For example: An apple and ¼ cup of walnuts. Cottage cheese or yogurt topped with fruit and nuts. 100% whole-wheat English muffin topped with 1 tbsp almond butter and raisins. Soymilk and frozen banana whipped with protein powder (sugar-free). 100% whole-grain toast topped with ½ cup scrambled egg substitute, sliced tomato and cottage cheese. Fiber-rich bran flakes or granola with berries, plus skim milk. A hard-boiled egg and slice of turkey bacon in a whole-wheat tortilla wrap - Taken from Healty100 Food Pantry: We are collecting nonperishable food items for our food pantry to help those in need.

Refresh: Be “Refreshed” by the baptism of the Holy Spirit moment by moment. “For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized by the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:5. Jesus dwells in the hearts of His Children through His Spirit. By asking Him, after receiving forgiveness, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in us—His holy temples. 2. Abide: Jesus said, “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me, you can do nothing.” John 15:5. It is through the Word that Christ abides in His followers. Spending time alone with God before the day starts in Bible study, prayer and meditation gives Divine power and strength through the Spirit to those who do it. 3. Share: The example of the early Christian Church in Acts 2 demonstrates how God intended for believers to meet together in church (large groups) and homes (small groups). Meeting together & sharing, ingrains the truth of God’s Word and the teachings of Jesus in the believers’ lives. 4. Give: God invites all His disciples to give of their time and their means to further His Kingdom. “Do not lay up for yourselves treasure on earth . . . lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven.” Matt 6:19. Giving allows a disciple to participate in God’s Holy Nature and neutralize the selfish tendencies within his or her sinful nature. 5. Mentor: The great controversy between good and evil is fierce and complex. God ordained believers to encourage, support and care for one another in close, “family-like,” relationships. Every disciple should be mentored by a more mature, experienced disciple and should, in turn, mentor a less experienced younger disciple than themselves. This process solidifies the experience of each disciple.

It is portrayed in a fully opened position suggesting full acceptance of God’s word as one reads, studies, and puts into practice. The Cross: central to the Biblical message is the Cross which represents the gospel of salvation and is positioned in the center of the design to emphasize Christ’s sacrifice, which is the central theme of our faith. The Flame: the shape formed by three lines encircling an implied sphere. The lines represent the three angels of Revelation 14 circling the globe and our commission to take the gospel to the entire world. The overall shape forms a flame symbolic if the Holy Spirit, the messenger of Truth. The flame suggests a continued upward momentum symbolizing the resurrection and ascension to heaven at Christ’s second coming, the ultimate focus of our faith.
