Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes and if you're ever in our area, please stop behind.

Be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

Thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I'd like to start with something funny. I heard about this minister. He bought a new horse.

He trained it to respond to praise the Lord, meaning giddy up and hallelujah, meaning woe.

Every time he said praise the Lord, the horse took off running. When he said hallelujah, it quickly stopped.

One day he is out riding and the horse got spooked, took off straight toward the cliff, going full blast.

In the panic, he couldn't remember what he taught the horse. He said, bless God, amen, glory, nothing happened.

The last second, he shouted hallelujah. The horse came to a screeching halt just inches from the edge of the cliff.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, praise the Lord.

All right. Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive.

I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about giving the gift of yourself.

The greatest gift you can give is not necessarily your money. It's not what you can buy someone.

The greatest gift is your time, your attention, your love, your concern.

When you take time to go see someone, you look them in the eyes. They feel your love. They enjoy your company.

That means more than any material gift that you could ever give.
