                    How can you praise when you feel down? Look back to where you have been and recall the blessings and miracles, recall what God has already done in your life and through your life.

                    Jonathan Whitfield was preaching to coal miners in England. He asked one man, “What do you believe?” 
“Well, I believe the same as the church.” 
“And what does the church believe?” “Well, they believe the same as me.” 
Seeing he was getting nowhere, Whitfield said,

                    There was this lady who was visiting a church one Sunday. The sermon seemed to go on forever, and many in the congregation fell asleep. 
After the service, to be social, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman, extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I’m Gladys Dunn."

Before the judgment seat of Christ my service will not be judged by how much I have done but by how much of me there is in it. No man gives at all until he has given all. No man gives anything
