Illustration: You are in great pain with appendicitis and have been rushed to hospital. They put you on a bed in the corridor and you are told you will be attended to shortly. But time goes by and nothing happens. The pain is intense. There are doctors and nurses and administrators running back and forth, here and there and all very busy but none of them seem to be solving your problem or easing your pain.

Then the hospital janitor comes along the corridor and sees your discomfort. He puts down his mop and asks you about your problem. He says that he would like to help and walks away. When he returns he has taken off his overalls and has put on a surgeon’s white coat. As he gets nearer to your bed he pulls out an old pocket knife to start the operation to ease your pain. Do you really want his help?

Sometimes, it better to wait for the right people to fix the problem. The administration under Jesus is already very busy working steadily toward shortly easing the pain of this system.

Mt 6:9-15. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

10/1-Start Your Day Off Right Series 

Quote:

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.  

B. Franklin.

Story:

10/1—Will Rogers was known for his laughter, but he also knew how to weep. One day he was entertaining at the Milton H. Berry Institute in Los Angeles, a hospital that specialized in rehabilitating polio victims and people with broken backs and other extreme physical handicaps

 Of course, Rogers had everybody laughing, even patients in really bad condition; but then he suddenly left the platform and went to the rest room. Milton Berry followed him to give him a towel; and when he opened the door, he saw Will Rogers leaning against the wall, sobbing like a child. He closed the door, and in a few minutes, Rogers appeared back on the platform, as jovial as before. 

If you want to learn what a person is really like, ask three questions: What makes him laugh? What makes him angry? What makes him weep? 

These are fairly good tests of character that are especially appropriate for Christian leaders. I hear people saying, “We need angry leaders today!” or “The time has come to practice militant Christianity!” Perhaps, but “the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God” (James 1:20). 

What we need today is not anger but anguish, the kind of anguish that Moses displayed when he broke the two tablets of the law and then climbed the mountain to intercede for his people, or that Jesus displayed when He cleansed the temple and then wept over the city. The difference between anger and anguish is a broken heart. It’s easy to get angry, especially at somebody else’s mistakes,  but it’s not easy to look at sin, our own included, and weep over it. 

Warren W. Wiersbe, The Integrity Crisis, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1991, pp. 75-76.

Scripture:

Romans 12:15

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Humor:

Gifts are to be shared they are not to be hoarded or hidden. They are to be shared with God’s people. 

Whatever comes from God does not belong to just the individual, whether it is Love, Wisdom, Joy, etc. it is to be distributed to Gods people!!

It is diminished when kept to yourself and even eliminated at Death. So while you are living…. share your gifts!!

September 30 marks the end of another month. It’s a natural checkpoint—a chance to pause and reflect on how far you’ve come and where you’re headed. Maybe this month was filled with victories, or maybe it held challenges that left you feeling weary. Either way, today is about one thing: finishing strong.

Think about a race. The crowd doesn’t cheer for how the runner started—it cheers when the runner crosses the finish line. The final stretch may be the hardest, but it’s also the most rewarding. You may not have done everything perfectly in September, but you can still finish it with focus, gratitude, and determination.

Here’s how to finish strong today:

Reflect, don’t regret. Look back at lessons learned, not mistakes made. Give your best today. Even one focused day can redeem an entire month. Set your eyes on what’s next. A strong finish today sets the stage for a strong beginning tomorrow.

Scripture Inspiration:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7

So as September closes, remind yourself that the story isn’t over. You can close this chapter with determination and walk boldly into the next one.

And here’s a little humor to help you smile while you finish:

Why don’t skeletons ever fight each other?

Because they don’t have the guts!

Finish this month with courage, gratitude, and faith—and watch how the next one opens with new opportunities.

2 Cor 12:7-10. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Quote:

9/30–Great leaders are great listeners

Story:

We might liken it to letting go of a bell rope. If you have ever seen an old school house with a bell on top, or an old church with a bell in the steeple, you will remember that to get the bell ringing you have to tug awhile. 

Once it has begun to ring, you merely maintain the momentum. As long as you keep pulling, the bell keeps ringing. 

Forgiveness is letting go of the rope. It is just that simple. But when you do so, the bell keeps ringing. Momentum is still at work. 

However, if you keep your hands off the rope, the bell will begin to slow and eventually stop. The unforgiving spirit will begin to slow, and will eventually be still. Forgiveness is not something you feel, it is something you do. It is letting go of the rope.

9/30–Can You Spare A Minute?

–9/30–I miss and think of my dad every day, that is some thing that won’t ever go away. Growing up my dad was always there for us. He was a hard worker and did whatever he could do to support his family financially.

As we grew older my mom and dad started to grow apart and separated I was around 18 at the time. I think I was around 21 at the time when my dad had left to Mexico because his mother had passed away.

He left and didn’t come back until June of this year. 8 whole years had passed not a word from him or not being able to see him. A lot has happen in my life, I got married and had 2 kids. He wasn’t there. With all my heart I Forgive him.

With his return back I soon found out he had colon cancer and only had 1 month to lived. I didn’t want to waste my time on negative feelings. 

Everyday I spent I told him I loved him and just to be able to hug and kiss him one last time is all that I could ever ask for. I forgive you Dad.

One of the greatest ways to show gratitude for our blessings is to share them. When we take time to help someone else—whether through kind words, a listening ear, or practical support—we not only lift them up, but we also find our own hearts lifted.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

Why Helping Others Matters

It spreads hope: A simple act of kindness can turn someone’s entire day around. It strengthens community: We were never meant to walk through life alone. It grows our character: Serving others helps us step outside of ourselves and see the bigger picture.

A Simple Example

A young man once said, “I was drowning in my own problems until I started volunteering at a food pantry. The moment I began helping others, I realized how much I actually had to be thankful for.” By serving others, he not only met their needs but also found healing for his own heart.

Practical Ways to Help Today

Call someone who may be lonely. Offer to pray with a friend going through a hard time. Do one small act of kindness anonymously.

Prayer

“Lord, open my eyes to the needs around me. Use me as Your hands and feet to encourage, bless, and help others today. Remind me that when I give, I receive joy in return. Amen.”

✅ Takeaway: When we help others, we multiply hope. Start with one small act today—you never know the ripple effect it may have.
