Rabbi Bunim taught:. We are each the joining of two worlds. We are fashioned from clay, but our spirit is the breath of Adonai. (from Tales of The Hasidim Later Masters, Martin Buber) You too are in two worlds.

Paul reminds us in Philippians 2:1 that as believers in Christ, we have encouragement from being united with Christ. By having tenderness and compassion, we will be like minded with Him, making His joy complete. . . .]]> http://www.hvmi.org/blog/joy-in-serving.htm/feed 0 http://www.hvmi.org/blog/goals-attitude-adjustment.htm http://www.hvmi.org/blog/goals-attitude-adjustment.htm#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:00:02 +0000 Deb Clark http://www.hvmi.org/blog/?p=2029
Adjusting your attitude is another dimension of goal-setting and is truly difficult at times.

Last night, at our grief group, a woman said something in a way I’ve never heard it before. A scene in a movie “hit her grief nerve” so she cried and cried, not about the movie scene but about her own loss, decades ago. Recently her mother died, and in that context the scene in [...]]]> http://www.hvmi.org/blog/the-grief-nerve.htm/feed 0 http://www.hvmi.org/blog/goals-be-realistic.htm http://www.hvmi.org/blog/goals-be-realistic.htm#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:00:23 +0000 Deb Clark http://www.hvmi.org/blog/?p=2015
Paul is truly realistic about where he is in life.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to H*VMI’s newest blog called Care Corner. Many times in life and ministry we are extending care to those around us and we don’t always take the time to allow the Lord to minster care to us. So the purpose behind Care Corner is three fold . . .]]> http://www.hvmi.org/blog/care-corner.htm/feed 2 http://www.hvmi.org/blog/ghana-christmas-deaf-camp-2011.htm http://www.hvmi.org/blog/ghana-christmas-deaf-camp-2011.htm#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:00:51 +0000 Larry Lamina http://www.hvmi.org/blog/?p=1936
