This is so well put together and so inspirational. Every once in a while we need to be reminded how our God works and this writer couldn't have said it better. Thank you for reminding us how the Lord works and keeps us. To God be praise forever! Amen.

I'm with David Gemmell. I would love to read the poem -- and also the full story about how this man came to be on the streets. That's what I thought I'd be reading when I went to e-gracenotes.org as directed by the article in the Pacific Union Recorder. Thank you!

Dear Benjamin; A precious, priceless glimpse into a precious, priceless life! In the light of eternity, our lives are just a blip--but your blip for sure is counting for God! That's my passion, as well. John Wesley's mission statement says it so well: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can. in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." Maranatha!!!

I pray that we both remember the Lord Jesus' second commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that we keep an open mind to new concepts, and that we do all of the Lord Jesus Christ's precepts that he commanded us, amen. As there is no human that does no sin except Christ Jesus I belive there is none that does no good. Psalm 1:1 - Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.

This is a powerful message that I needed to read and take to heart as the day is just beginning and there seems to be no end to the work on my desk. I need to remember that no matter what we may be going through God is still in charge! All the plans we make, all the worries we take upon ourselves, God is still in charge! I pledge to remember that today because I cannot do anything for Him that is worth doing without Him being in charge of my day! May God bless you today!

That little laugh as to "Who's in Charge" was perfect for us and our neighbor tonight!!  We had just been talking about waking in the night and worrying--so it "hit the spot" for us tonight. Thanks!

Parents if you have a gun, please keep it under lock and keys. A child just died this morning. His brother was showing off a gun and accidently shot him.

I think that we should witness to everyone everyday, so that the Lord can come back soon [and] so we can be in heaven with Him.

I agree that we should be spending more time looking at nature than at a sports car.

Shirlene. Feb 25, 2012.
Thank you for this article. It is after 3:00 am on a sabbath morning and I am unable to sleep. For some reason I was led to this article. On this past Monday I left my teen aged son and daughter at one of their friend's house for a few hours. My son called me to say that my daughter could not wake up. When I got there she had passed out on the bathroom floor. I called 911, and she was rushed to the ER. To make a long story short she had alcohol poisoning. Thank God she survived. To all the young people who read this please do not take just one taste. You may not be as lucky as my daughter to survive. I pray that she has learned her lesson, God saved her life for a reason. Thank you Jesus.

A wonderful story. I have had many pets over the years, each one is a member of my family. The two dogs I have now are the sweetest pets ever. My oldest is 12, she is slower now, has arthritis of the spine, yet in the morning she runs around and gets my other dog to play. They love it when the grand kids spend the night, even though at times you can tell they have [had] a little too much  petting. My grand daughter that is slightly autistic is scared by the barking they do when someone comes to the door. But [she] has serious conversations with both of them, she insists they are her dogs and that they are her best friends. How could they not be in heaven with us!

What a precious reminder that if we humans can be so bonded to each other, how much more is our Creator and Redeemer bonded with us, "desiring that none should perish"!

A beautiful piece! It is very touching. A song by Archie Watkins and the Inspirations (Will He Remember Me) would go well with this!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story about fragile things and mutual feelings, I am experiencing  the same thing with my neighbor across the street from me. You are so right.

After a late diagnosis of kidney failure and our increasingly pitifully inadequate arrempts to get her to eat treated food over four days my wife and I yesterday euthanised our dog. Betsey had renal failure. I am useless with grief. I can't escape that her 14 years (13 with us) were all she had; not if there is any sort of loving God. I can't know God's mind any more than anyone but what type of God would allow such a loving part of his creation as Betsey to have this short time and nothing more. A God that would want something like me and not a thing such as she is no God that I could worship. So I think Betsey and your dog are or will live on. I could be wrong but I am putting my faith in God here. I now have to do the harder thing and make sure I am worthy to go where I can see her again.

I am the Women's Ministries director for the Lakeland Seventh-day Adventist Church and I went on line to find your address for the meeting this afternoon. Last night I googled "daily strength" on the computer, preparing for our Bible Study Wednesday evening. I wasn't satisfied with what I found, [but] when I got to your website a few minutes ago, I found this article and it was just what I needed to share with our group on Wednesday. How wonderful God is in directing our paths. Thanks for sharing this.

"The Poetry Man" touched my heart. I've reread it several times I thank the author for writing it. To me, this is what reaching out to oothers is all about.

Thank you for sharing your story about the time spent with the Poetry Man. We recently travelled from Brisbane Australia to the outback, and if you google Bedourie (in the Simpson Desert) you will get an idea of the territory we journeyed through. While at Bedourie, we met a chap named Richard, who was down on his luck, and outcast from his family (wealthy cattle station folk), and was going  through a tough time. Richard (helicopter pilot, drover, cattleman, father of Oxford Univ. students) enriched our day, as we spent time talking and sharing a cup of coffee with him in our motel room. His knowledge of the area meant our trip had some great and unexpected highlights, and we hope that the assistance we were able to give him will have made his day, and perhaps turned his life about too. Perhaps we will have to wait until heaven's gates open before we see him, and know how things went.

Thank you also for the other Women's Ministries devotionals - I am the WM leader in our church at Capalaba, Brisbane, and enjoy the challenge of finding something new to share with the ladies. The church membership is mostly retirees, but very active ones!

Amazing how expressing an interest in someone can make such a big difference in their life. Same thing Jesus did, He was/is interested in us, too.

Thank you so much for this insight and information. I have, for the last 2 weeks, struggled with such an issue that this answered. God has put joy in my heart with this Scripture and he used your web page to do it. Thanks and may your blessings abound.
