"Be Kind"  

Before I got out of bed this morning, I had spoken and texted with more than one loved one. Each conversation held different concerns. It hurt my heart to realize that so many people are struggling. Whatever you may be going through, you can trust that someone is going through something even more challenging. We need to be there for each other. We need to pray for each other. No judgments. No unwanted advice. Just love and prayers. Hunter Jack mentioned the other day that he didn't like the 'rule' that says you must treat your elderly kinder than you. I'm not sure where he heard that 'rule' and at first I wasn't sure if I should be hurt or offended thinking he was calling me elderly. lol. But after further conversation, there was more to it. I asked him what he meant. He said, "Well, I just think that the whole wide world should be kind to everyone and not just because someone is older." I said "Oh, okay, I get what you're saying and I definitely agree with that. Now there is a scripture in the Bible that says we are to honor and respect our elders. But yes, definitely yes, the world would be a kinder place if we would treat everyone with kindness." That conversation has been staying with me. If only, if only, we would treat each other with kindness, no matter who they are. Even if they aren't related. Even if they are grumps or not so nice.  We are all struggling with something. and we all need a relationship with The Lord. With Him, ALL things are possible.  and uniting our hearts together in Him and through Him can change our hearts and minds. 

Care for each other. Pray for each other. Treat each other with Kindness. 

Be kind and loving to each other. Forgive each other the same as God forgave you through Christ. 

Ephesians 4

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
