I heard this in our sermon last week before we had communion and I wanted to share it with you.
Dr. Welch was a dentist and a Methodist. In the Methodist church we have communion once a month. Years ago Dr. Welch would see people who were addicted to alcohol come for communion. He felt bad that about the alcohol and the church. So he and his family went out and cut 40 pounds of grapes - they juiced them - capped them up in air tight bottles for a few weeks. When they went back and opened it they expected the juice to be spoiled. Instead it was grape juice. Pure delicious grape juice! He went to his minister and gave him some of the juice to use, then to other churches, and a company was born. He was a dentist and a business man.
If you have time to look at only one e-mail today, make it this one.

Thought for the day:
Hi Lord, it’s me. We are getting older and things are getting bad here. Gas prices are too high, no jobs, food and heating costs too high. I know some have taken you out of our schools, government and even Christmas, but Lord I'm asking you to come back and re-bless these United States of America. We really need you! There are more of us who want you than those who don't! Thank You Lord, I Love you.

I wasn't able to view the video (my computer woos) but I really enjoyed the story of Dr. Welch!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you!
That guy is amazing, thanks for sharing it. Gona make all my friends watch it :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome video!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that - he is an amazing man and so generous to spend his life sharing his story and his outlook. Those kids will be changed - they'll never forget him.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up. Had a busy week! Sigh. This one looks to be much the same but I'm hoping to be able to pop in more often. Thanks for the encouragement and kind words you send my way!! Have a fantastic week!! <3
ReplyDeleteExactly the point!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway..just dropped by to say "good morning!" and to wish you a great Sunday.
No one can take God out of anything! Not even! HE is your choice and what you believe is all your own.
I get out of a warm bed in the morning..have the right to attend any church of my choice, vote for a leader, and voice my opinion.
HE is not gone because he is within.
Life is what we make it and all will be well. Men do a fine job of messing things up but men also do a fine job (with support and time) straightening things out.
We are blessed..we really are!
Gas prices are terrible here, my lovely daughter and her husband just lost their home of 12 years over half paid for, grands just graduating from college and no jobs..but I have faith! I do! If I have faith and a good attitude so will my family and they look to me for encouragement.
That's what makes things better. Faith!
Hugs and love to you.. :)

love that header shot, i think it is ducks walking on ice and reflections upside down.
ReplyDeletegreat story about the grape juice, never thought about it that way.
as for the prayer, I prayed it, but i don't think there are more of us who want HIM than those who do not, or we would not be in the shape we are in
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing it with us! I really liked the prayer at the end. Hope your weekend is going well my friend. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful thought for Sunday - and I LOVE your photos. Thank you for all the inspiration and uplift you give me.
ReplyDeleteNever get tired of seeing his videos. Simply amazing illustration of life being what you make of it! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteDr. Welch- amazing! Your posts are always a gift to us.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this guy speak on T.V. before, he is amazing!! So this is the story of Welch's Grape Juice? The above picture is glorious!! It looks like a wet street with all the buildings reflected on it and the ducks are walking on it, am I right?
ReplyDeleteI love that Nick - he is absolutely one of the MOST inspirational people I have ever seen. He puts a lot of stuff into perspective, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteYes, Lord - many of us love You so very much. Come back to our country, start a revival in our nation - and start it in the hearts of Your children.
GOD BLESS!
good story about the dentist and the guy in the video is very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSandie, I don't know where you find these videos and inspirational quotes, but today I really needed to see that beautiful young man with the brilliant attitude! Thank you for sharing and I am passing it on to my daughter right now. Ann
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's ice, but not sure. Great video- he is such a positive person.
ReplyDeleteThat reflection picture is amazing!!! I will have to go back and read the rest, backwards! I get stuck on that first pictures. . . obviously I am easy to entertain!! Thank youuuuuuu!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is an inspiration, Sandy as are YOU!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI had seen that video before and that young man is a true inspiration. There is nothing we can't do if we really try.
ReplyDeleteYes, love the Welch's Grape Juice! Great story, did not know that! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Welch's... Happy Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteLet me guess. The picture at the top is of a pair of Mallards on the ice, in a location close to an Orthodox church or monastery. Red Square? Well, perhaps not. Just ducky, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, the Canada Geese have started returning to River City. Today. Out on the river ice, and swimming in the icy river.
The rest of your post was wonderful, too.
Blessings and Bear hugs.
Thank you, Sandie. You always make me smile, laugh, and/or feel inspired. You're a blessing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the ducks and reflection. I've seen this video and think he is a wonderful man. I just bought Welch's grape juice a few days ago! It was the only brand my mom bought when I was young.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story of my favorite Welch's grape juice! Hugs and wishes for a happy week.
ReplyDeleteNice Sunday post, Sandie. Makes me want to start back doing an inspirational Sunday post.
ReplyDelete..
It's always fun and thought provoking to stop by here. the duck picture had me for a minute.....great video and facts on welch. Chatty.....have an amazing week......filled with only good stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing video!!! This man has no legs, and yet he was able to give me a kick in pants. He has no arms, and yet he was able to hug my heart. I am so glad you shared this, Sandie!!
ReplyDeleteAMEN!
ReplyDeleteDr. Welch is buries less then a mile from my house. I never knew this until about two weeks ago when my Dad and Fiance started talking about it after seeing a Welches commercial on television. I'm going to find his gravestone.
ReplyDeleteYour header looks like ducks walking in a puddle or wet street and the those are reflections from buildings.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is amazing!
Love the story of Dr Welch!
That is very interesting about the grape juice, who knew?
