Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Lord, may our hearts be stirred up, knowing you have our backs, and you care deeply about us. We are your workmanship, created for good works, that we might give you glory.
Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Galatians 6:9 NASB
We have so much to be thankful for!
This time of year is a great reminder, to be THANKFUL. Our God has given us new life in Jesus Christ for those that have given their lives to him. Let us choose to remember and share this good news, to all that will listen this season and everyday, we have opportunity.
May the Lord bless each and everyone one of you and may his Holy Spirit fill you, with the reminder of richness of his many blessings, he has given us. May we focus on what we have, not on what we don’t, which is what the world bombards us with, every day.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:13 NASB
How do we relieve stress?
When we throw off everything that drags us down, we are freed from a heavy load. We must turn to Jesus, and not our false idols and dreams. Jesus is the one who will ultimately allow us,to fulfill all that we are set on this earth, to do.
I’m not saying in any way that this is necessarily easy, but certainly rewarding!
casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NASB
Dad, finally put to rest.
Yesterday, we put my father to rest. For me, I felt like he was at rest, the moment he passed, from this life to the next.
Culturally, back here, it is a big deal to look at the Shell of a body and find finality with the person’s death.
I don’t get it so much, but respect it. Definitely, the burial does make a lasting impression that he is gone.
Anyway, he joins quite a few family members, who leave a legacy of loving God and loving and serving people.
I will miss you Dad, in physical form, but your legacy and spirit will live FOREVER!
With Love

Gut check….Do we reflect to our fellow Christians, this belief and hope in Our daily lives? Just as important, do we display that through our actions, to a lost and fallen world?
and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9 NASB
Who can reconcile the vast expanse of holiness, between God and ALL of Mankind?
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.2.5-6.NASB
What can we do? Nothing, but recognize the unfathomable gift of love, and fall at his feet and worship him.
Want to be strong? See what the bible says.
Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10 NASB
Need a friend? Jesus is close by and always available to talk.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalms 145:18 NASB
Blameless before God.
We are blameless, not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Jesus. We can never earn our Salvation.
As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
