Lord, It Hurts!
Have you been hurt by someone in your life? Did you love someone dearly only to find out the love was not returned? Have people spoken falsely against you? Has your heart been broken and you think you cannot live without that person in your life? Have you lost your children, your grandchildren or the love of your life? There is only one way to heal that hurt and it is through Jesus. Give it to Him and let Him work a healing in you. He is the only one who can heal such a hurt. If you do not give up the hurt in your life, you can become bitter and carry the baggage for years. Jesus does not want you to hurt like that. He offers hope and healing for you. God saves our tears! He cries with us as we go through the trials in our life that bring us to tears.
Job 16:20 (NIV) My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
Psalm 6:6 (NIV) I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
Psalm 56:8 (NIV) Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll; are they not in your record?
Psalm 56:8 (KJV) Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Jesus wept just as we do. He understands how we feel.
John 11:35 (NIV) Jesus wept.
Jesus prayed and so it is with us that we too should do as Jesus did.
Mark 1:35 (NIV) Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.
Mark 1:34-36 (NIV) But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Luke 5:15-17 (NIV) After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed.
We weep when we are sad, when we have been hurt. We need to give it to Him and let Him bring about the healing touch that we need in our sorrow. Read these scriptures and give it to Him. Ask Him to heal your broken heart. Do not repay evil with evil. Let God do what needs to be done. Give your hurt to Him.
I Peter 3:8-17 (8) Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. (9) Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. (10) For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. (11) He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. (12) For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." (13) Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? (14) But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." (15)But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, (16) keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. (17) It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Deuteronomy 6: 5-9 (5) Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (6) These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. (7) Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (8) Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. (9) Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Say this prayer and accept the healing. Lord heal this hurt that is taking me down. Lift me up and let me see your face. Hold me in your loving arms and give me rest when I know not where to go. I trust that You know what is best for me. I give it to you to bring about the healing in me that only You can do.
Amen

Every Scrap Counts
Below is a letter is from Dr. Karen Asher who is preparing to leave for a Missionary assignment in Sierra Leone. So many of us are already doing so much charity work here at home as well as supporting missionaries at home and abroad; but when I heard of Dr. Karen's mission of teaching the women to sew and the needs of such simple sewing supplies like needles, thread, remnants of fabric, and even tape measures, I knew it wouldn't be a burden to help. I know I have items in my sewing room that I can give and I wouldn't even miss them! It was actually a relief to give away some of the fabric from my stash!! Here is her letter:
I can't tell you how pleased I am that you all would be willing to help the women of Sierra Leone. I can't tell you how hard the life is there. We complain about the cost of gas and expenses here but there they work for a week to pay for a gallon of gas. The majority of women I meet in Freetown have not only never been out of their city, but many have never been more than 5 blocks from their home. They have no prospects for making a living. They have no chance of education. Can you imagine what their response is when a woman from the church asks them if they would like to learn to sew?
They go to the church and the women give them some fabric and a needle and some thread and teach them to make patterns from newsprint. They often don't have measuring tapes so they take strips of fabric and make them from the one the church owns. They learn to make clothes and quilts and curtains and all the while they learn about Jesus; and through these women of the church, they feel His love for them.
Through this mission project the churches in Freetown, Sierra Leone, have grown from 3 to 12 and more each day. But the women who do the teaching have very little money of their own. A pastor's wife lives on less than $100 per month and manages to feed her family and many more who come to her door. These women want to continue to minister to the women of their communities, but they need to have supplies. They will give their time and their talent, but they need sewing supplies and material of all kinds. If the Lord lays it on your heart to help, please pack your donation in a plastic bag (ziplocks work great and can be reused) and mail them to :
World Hope Warehouse
1906 Gus Kaplan Dr.
Alexandria, LA 71301
Please mark on the outside of the box KWH (that means Kamakwie Wesleyan Hospital), Dr. Asher, and the contents of the box (Material, thread, etc.). They will pack the contents in a container and when a container is full they ship it to Sierra Leone.
When we look in our belongings it is hard to believe that our hobby supplies can give a family hope and a plan for the future but it can!
God Bless you all!

Welcome Friends
I am so glad that you stopped by to visit. Angel Threads Ministry is here to help women, children and men who need a friend who understands what you are going through. Domestic Abuse touches each of us in some way. There is help for you. It is our goal to offer a connection to these women, children and men all over North America. There is a common "Thread" that binds us. Stores all over the country are already helping in their neighborhoods. Women come into a store to have someone to "talk" to. You never know if the woman you are standing next to or living next to you is dealing with abuse in her life. We are going to show you that you do not have to live in fear and that there is help and hope for a better tomorrow!
Blessings to you, Linda
Blessings to you, Linda
