Tuesday’s Truthful HumorWelcome to Tuesday’s Truthful humor with Trench Classes United where we love to laugh and pull truth from humor!
After Brian proposed to Jill, his father took him to one side. “Son, when I first got married to your mother, the first thing I did when we got home was take off my pants. I gave them to your mother and told her to try them on, which she did. They were huge on her and she said that she couldn’t wear them because they were too large. I said to her, 'Of course they are too big for you, I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that day, son, we have never had a single problem." Brian took his dad’s advice and did the same thing to his wife on his wedding night. Then, Jill took off her panties and gave them to Brian. “Try these on,” she said. Brian went along with it and tried them on, but they were far too small. “What’s the point of this? I can’t get into your panties,” said Brian. “Exactly,” Jill replied, “and if you don’t change your attitude, you never will!” Yikes, isn’t it so true that Satan spends so much time trying to get us in bed before marriage and even more effort in keeping us out of it after marriage…and the wearing of the pants, well, that’s for the man; we just come alongside them to help them fit!

Monday’s MessageYou bring pure joy into this earth
Your baby blues have turned hazel As you start to view the world in color Minus the labels You smile when are happy And cry when you are mad Your emotions are not hidden As you live in a world where it is oft We are told to forbid them To hide our true feelings To turn the other cheek Yes, we must be meek But there comes a time when it is our turn to speak To speak for the weak Whether they be Jew, Gentile, or Greek It is not our job to Judge But our Father's up above and baby boy with your heart so full of love I pray you speak light and when push comes to shove you look up When this world tries to tell you what to do Seek answers from the One who created you The sky He created blue The grass he painted green With a rainbow of flowers speckled in between The colors we see They were created for you and me To stand in awe at His masterpiece True beauty A glimpse of what Heaven may be Our heaven on earth we call art and I pray those gentle eyes see that from the start For now let your pure innocence and joy Melt our hearts As we lay down our guards “From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established strength Because of your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him?” - Psalms 8:2-4 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” - Matthew 7:1-2 -Abigail Rice Faith-Filled FridayIn a time of so much public demonstration of anger and violence, shouting and crying, I can’t help but wonder what would it look like if we all cried out to God, got on our knees and proclaimed peace? Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Trench Classes United and Debra Dolce, who shares a word from the Father’s heart to her’s to ours.
Love Letter~ My warrior, honor Me by trusting in Me in your day of trouble. Cry aloud to Me, and I will be there to rescue you. Do not be one that waits until trouble or calamity hits you, but stay close to Me. Commune with Me often that I may show you and direct you, that you are aware of what is going on and can see clear. Keep your heart clear of offense, even against those working in places where you must do business. How would they respond if I stepped up to their counter, full of the same love and compassion I have for you? That is how it should look when you step up to receive help. It doesn't really matter how long you waited, that gives you time to pray for everyone, to bless the business, to set your own heart right and to be a blessing. Beloved, I bless you abundantly so you in turn can bless others. ~DebraDolce Thursday's Truthful HumorThanks for joining us for some light-hearted humor today, something desperately needed in our world!
A boy was selling fish on a corner. To get his customers' attention, he was yelling, "Dam fish for sale! Get your dam fish here!" A pastor hears this and asks, "Why are you calling them 'dam fish?" to which the boy responds, "Because I caught these fish at the local dam." Ah, I see. The pastor buys a couple fish, takes them home to his wife, and says to her, can you please cook these dam fish. The wife responds surprised, "I didn't know it was acceptable for a preacher to speak that way." He explains to her why they are dam fish. Later at the dinner table, he asks his son to pass the dam fish. The son looking somewhat surprised says, "That's the spirit, Dad! Now pass the effing potatoes!" What comes out of our mouths can really influence others, huh? Just for today, choose to speak positive powerful words over profanity! Wednesday’s WordDo you ever get the feeling that just about everywhere you turn, there’s something negative, angry, destructive and demoralizing? How do we keep our minds, hearts and spirits healthy in such a time as this? Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United and Kim-Evinda. I don’t know about you, but I often wonder, and almost imagine our Father up above looking down and shaking His head in sorrow and righteous anger at everything going on in the world today. One thing I do know with every cell in my body is that He wouldn’t come down and be one of the crowd; instead, His meekness – power in control – would draw others to Him, creating a new kind of crowd. He’s not one to add more wood to an already-burning fire. We’ve all heard the saying, two wrongs don’t equal a right, and while we all have freedom to express our opinions and beliefs, the way we do so will determine their influence and receipt. This truth is actually a Biblical principle found in 1st Thessalonians 5:15: “Don’t be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else.” (CEV) Put another way: “Resist revenge, and make sure that no one pays back evil in place of evil but always pursue doing what is beautiful to one another and to all the unbelievers” (NPT) And one more way found in The Message translation which includes verses 13-15: “Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.” No matter what version of the Bible you look in, the message is the same: Two wrongs never equal a right, and though I usually refrain from the always, never words, this one’s a time where that rings true! So friend, may I encourage you this week, when seeing an action, attitude or behavior that offends you, don’t add wood to the all-ready burning fire; instead, add the water of truth and see if you aren’t the one who changes! Love, Kim-Evinda Tuesday's Truthful HumorAhhh, one more day for the weekend. Let’s take a little giggle break!
A bus full of ugly people had a head on collision with a truck and they all died and went to heaven. When they met God, He granted all of them one wish. The first person said, "I want to be gorgeous." God snapped his fingers and it happened. The second person said the same thing and God did the same thing. This went on and on throughout the group. Finally God got to the last man in line and saw he was laughing hysterically. What is your one wish, God asked? The man continued to laugh as he choked out his wish: "I wish they were all ugly again." If you had one wish, would it be one that benefits others…or yourself?

Sing. At a loss for words to say? Sing. When words fail you Frustration, anger, and anxiety Do not avail you But make you feel weak Gripping your tongue As you lose ability to speak Cry out to the Lord Sing. He is right there Listening There is no reason to be perfect When your heart has been hurting Come to Him In your frustration Lean on Him He can take it No burden is too big No boulder too heavy Your anger may be wavering But His hand is steady Cry out to the Lord Sing. Feel His presence Surrounding Let Him bring you peace Rest your soul Be at ease Cry out to the Lord in song Wherever you are Driving your car As head hits the pillow When your feet hit the floor When you awake in the morn & your heart is so filled with scorn Cry out to the Lord Let his praise be on your lips Forevermore There is nothing to lose Only you Lose yourself in His embrace Let your heart be warmed by His steady grace There is no place He would rather be Than right here with you Sheltering Jesus, You are my King. “Let me cry before you, O Lord; Give me understanding according to your word! Let my plea come before you; Deliver me according to your word. My lips will pour forth praise, For you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your word, For all your commandments are right.” - Psalm 119:169-172 -Abigail Rice Faith-Filled FridayI don’t know about you, but sometimes things can look so confusing, so far from what we imagined He was/is doing, right?
Thanks for joining us for Faith Filled Friday with Trench Classes United and Debra Dolce. Today’s love letter is a great reminder that God’s will is like poetry, always with a rhyme and filled with reason. ~Love Letter~ My precious lamb, you need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of My will and then you receive the promise in full. Such beautiful poetry I write with your life, an amazing love song of care and compassion I sing over you and over your life. Come and sit in the stillness, while all is quiet, wait and listen; Can you hear me? Can you hear My song of love? Can you wait? Even as I told My disciples to watch and pray that they don't enter into temptation, I say that to you, watch and pray. Move cautiously in this next season. Avoid running into all kinds of business in an attempt to return to "normal." I desire a new normal, one where you listen for and hear My voice and then you move. Beloved, I desire that you walk in this new normal that exists in a place of rest, a place of peace, filled with My love and compassion, filled with singing. ~DebraDolce Thursday's Truthful HumorI was at the drugstore and noticed a young male cashier staring at the pretty girl in front of me. Her total came to $16.42, and after handing over a $100 bill, she waited for change.
“Here you go,” said the cashier, smiling as he returned the proper amount. “Have a great day!” Now I placed my items on the counter. They came to $32.79, and I too gave the cashier a $100 bill. “I’m sorry, Ma’am. We can’t accept anything larger than a fifty,” he pointed to a sign stating store policy for emphasis. “But you just accepted that last girl’s hundred,” I reasoned. “I had to,” he said. “It had her phone number on it.” Oh, how we can offend others without even realizing it, huh! Hey, speaking of shopping, with many stores still closed, Amazon is a great option. Did you know that you can shop on Amazon for many of your needs and wants and bless a nonprofit at the same time? That’s right, and Amazon has included us in on their list of charities to bless, so would you consider going to https://smile.amazon.com/ and listing us as your charity to bless (Chicklit Power Ministries)? For more information about our nonprofit, go to www.trenchclassesunited.com Wednesday’s WordWhile waiting to get into a store the other day, I couldn’t help but overhear two men talking while they waited for their wives to come out of the store. What I heard left me feeling a bit uncomfortable for listening! Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United and Kim-Evinda. While waiting for their wives, they were talking about their wives! And I thought we as women were the only ones who vented 😊 😊 The first thing I heard one of them say is: “My wife is so f-ing selfish, man!” I think I must have looked like a deer caught in a pair of glaring headlights, because as soon as he said it, he caught my expression and immediately bent down to avoid my staring. I didn’t mean to look so dumbfounded. It just kind of caught me off guard. For the rest of my workout, I tried desperately to not listen to their conversation as they both began to “vent” about their wives. This was a double-edged sword for me, because I’ve been known to “vent” about many things, including my husband, but seeing this with my own eyes, hearing these things with my own ears, well, it was like putting the shoe on the other foot, knowing this could easily be my husband saying this. I mean my husband most certainly could call me selfish. The truth is everyone needs someone to vent to, but there’s a difference between venting and vomiting! If we can’t say what we’re venting to the one we’re venting about, perhaps we shouldn’t say it. Would you join me in working on honoring those with our speech rather than tearing them down this week? Let's work on this challenge together. Thoughtfully, Kim-Evinda |
