For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Lord, this life is a marathon! Help us to run the race with endurance. Let us not lose site, of the hope we have, and the crown of life we will receive. Not because of what we have done, but what Jesus has done on the cross, and resurrection, and through his Holy Spirit, working in us. Thank you, Lord.
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.
James 1:12 NASB

Hundreds of years in the past, a promise was made, through the prophet Isaiah. Thank you God, for always keeping your promises! It may not always be in our timing, but it is always in yours.
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

Me, an accident? I don’t think so.
My father went to be with the creator of all things on 10-10-18. What a new home, he has found. Someday, I will get to join him, when my time has come, and he takes me home. It will be a great reunion with Dad and Mom and many relatives who have gone before them.
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.
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
Certainty, in an Uncertain World
From creation, to New creation, God’s plan has not changed. It has always been Jesus, who would solve the issue of man’s separation from God. Jesus was the one who took the form of a man, lived a perfect, righteousness life, took the penalty for our transgression, and conquered death, so we might live, both now and forever, in God’s presence, in perfect harmony.
Thank You…….. Jesus!
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 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.
