"I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" 

This week my 6-year-old grandson and I have been traveling an hour away for swim lessons every day. We’ve been having an adventure that’s for sure.  It’s bedtime by the time he gets home. I’ve learned quite a bit about what vehicle and equipment he intends to buy when he gets older. He has it all planned out. He’s been planning it for quite some time but our trips have helped him get it all lined out. 😊 I’ve also been able to tell him stories that my grandpa would tell me about the places that we have been passing from when my grandpa was growing up and my heart was reminded yesterday of how precious time is and how important it is to treasure each moment. Time goes by too fast.

We don’t know what tomorrow holds. We don’t know how long we have been given to be here on earth. The Bible reminds us in James 4:14 just how fleeting life can be: “ Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” I don't know what tomorrow holds. But I know Who holds tomorrow.  Life is like a fog, here for a while and then gone. So, we ought to focus on The Lord and say “If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” His Word tells us to let Him handle the details. Let Him handle the worries. Let Him handle the burdens. Seek His Face in all that we do. Take time to make the most of the time that has been given to us and Love Him with all of our hearts. “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the Will of The Lord is.” – Ephesians 5:17

I’m thankful for this time. My flesh may be worn out and ache all over, but my spirit is encouraged and thankful for each passing day that I am once again alive to share His Word and share His Love with you. I’m thankful that I am able to spend time with my family and friends and enjoy our conversations and company. I’m thankful that I am Redeemed and Forgiven. I’m thankful that despite the chaos and angst in this world, in Him and through Him I can have PEACE that passes all understanding. You may not agree with me and I may not agree with you, but we can still be civil and gracious to each other despite our disagreements and I can still pray for you and I hope you pray for me. We don’t have to focus on our differences and the junk that the enemy keeps trying to get us to focus on. Let us focus on JESUS. And if you don’t have Jesus in your heart, it’s not too late. I pray that you don’t wait another single day.

Take this time that you have been given and Seek The Lord!!!

Love God! Love People!!!

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
