It’s all about family today. Check out the first Family post. Ready?
You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them. Desmond Tutu
He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. Proverbs 11:29
Joke time!
Another themed post for DGS! This time, we’ll be looking at nature. It’s such a nice day today I figured we have class outside today. C’mon kids!
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we’re still at the mercy of nature. Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Flowers are appearing on the earth. The season for singing has come.
The cooing of doves is heard in our land.” Song of Solomon 2:12
Well what about that? Daily Good Stuff returns. We’re picking up where we last left off here at DALANEL.
This feature helped bring DALANEL to a high following status and really put me on the map. It’s been over a year since I last posted on a consistent basis, but it continues to get the majority of blog views on a daily basis.
So, for this week, we’ll look at DGS, the first daily post type of DALANEL. Most of the featured posts that followed were various forms of this post. When I started my “funny” blog, I took these elements there as well.
Thing was, this blog used to be known for humor as well as what you see now. I essentially split those up so that humor had its own spot while positive had DALANEL.
Alright, I bet you’re tired of the talk. Before we start, let me tell you what DGS posts looked like in its prime. We had a quote, scripture, video, image (usually funny), joke, funny and/or weird news, positive news, and a holiday. I’ll probably post all but the holiday. Are you ready for a blast from my past?

Scripture:
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Psalm 105:4

That’s happened to me before!
How about a video? I think a video is good.
A couple of best friends saw a man was in need of CPR and they jumped on the case.
It was about 9 p.m. Nicole Enick pulled over in the parking lot of the McDonald’s off Marine Drive NE. The girls noticed a man in a nearby car wasn’t moving. The man’s friends were gathered around, shaking him and dumping cold water on him. Others were standing around, watching.
Hailey and Jasmine knew what to do. The Everett High School freshmen had recently taken CPR training from their health teacher, Darrell Olson.
Yes, the girls did what they were told in school.
From class, they knew not to stop, Hailey said. After about five minutes, the man started gasping for air. Hailey’s little sister, Meleah, 11, watched it all take place. A few minutes later, police and paramedics arrived and took over. One of the police officers on scene told the girls the man wouldn’t have made it without their CPR, Hailey said. They believed the man, who appeared to be in his 30s, had a drug overdose.
This last quote from mom is sadly true.
“We’re so proud of her,” Nicole Enick said. “I’m so amazed. She was 14 and she was able to keep herself together. You never expect people at a young age to be able to do something like that. Other people just look away.”
Can we change that? Let’s change that.
From Testimony Share:
In Acts 3-12,13,Peter mentions to the crowd after he healed the cripple in Christ name,
“Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus,”
My testimony of the greatness of the name of JESUS : I am an animal lover. In my locality, I know every dog that roams on the street. Among these is a beautiful golden fellow who I named Fluffy, because of his glorious fur. To my dismay in the month of October, he got mange and became a mess…itching, bleeding, scaly and his fur all fell out. I was so upset and didn’t know how to help him. Suddenly the thought came to my head, if I cant heal a dog then my faith is not much! A dog is flesh: no spirit. All flesh follows my spirit because
“He who is within me is stronger than he who is in the world.” 1John 4:4
Every time I passed Fluffy on my errands, I would just say
“be healed in the name of Christ Jesus”.
Friends within days, he stopped itching, started eating. He was so grey and disgusting but I was searching for his healing and I could see it happening! the itching stopped, the bleeding stopped, started gaining weight, FUR STARTED GROWING.
Today he is back to his old self. That dog is a testimony to the Name of Jesus!
I have one more to relate. My mother in law is unsaved as yet. In December she contracted a terrible cough. She couldn’t sleep AT ALL. She is not exactly supportive of my faith to put it mildly. I kept on having the urge to give her the Word to claim but each time I would withdraw in the fear of being ridiculed. But one night the cough was so bad that I just went and in the name of Christ prayed and rebuked that illness. Friends that cough just dried out and didn’t return.
In both these instances, I was relying totally only on His name. A dog will never condone my faith 🙂 and neither would mummy, but in both instances, I was convicted my faith and His name is enough! and it WAS.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. – Psalm 34:5
Praise the Lord!!!
