Companion

What job would you do for free?

There are so many people out there who are lonely. It does not matter their age. Young or elderly being lonely can be a state of mind, but it is also a condition for some that will not change.

A smile or a kind word does not cost anything. Calling someone up on the phone or visiting someone for even a few minutes can make a sad day a blessing.

Blessings are not only for the receiver but for the giver as well.

Take time for someone else and see where that short moment will take you.

For The Moment…72

Sometimes, you feel a distance. Maybe because you ate not right with the Lord at the moment. Sometimes things around you are overwhelming.

Don’t lose heart.

Quiet your spirit and look to the Lord.

He will never cast you away.

If you do not hear his voice or know his instruction, fear not he has not forgotten you.

Precious are you in his sight.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psalm 51 verse 12

Synchronize swimming

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

I think it is so graceful and beautiful to watch. Every move is calculated and perfect.

I tried that type of swimming in high school, and it is not easy.

You have to be able to hold your breath for long periods of time and move with a fluidity that could only come with practice.

It is amazing.

What is my community?

How would you improve your community?

A place where I live and those who dwell there with me.

I try to give to those in need. Helping those who are hungry by giving to the local food bank.

I pray for my neighbors even when they have no faith and they do not know my name.

I volunteer to help at conferences in the kitchen, or I donate food for the gathering.

I don’t broadcast my deeds because I don’t want the praise. It is not being humble it is who I am.

For The Moment…71

Don’t be afraid of those who have power, those who make decisions, those who rule over you, and control your advancement. These people are here on earth for a little while.  Like the cycle of life, everything comes to an end.

Man and his vain brief authority. 

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house increased; for when he dies, he shall carry nothing aqay: his glory shall not descend after him. Man, that is in honor and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49 verses 16, 17,20.

I give thanks

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

The first thing I do is thank the Lord for another day.

Then, if you must know, I relieve myself of stuff. That is private.

First forty five minutes, I pray and read the Bible. I spend time with the Lord. I ask for his guidance with my decisions and my behavior. I also ask for protection for my family and myself throughout the day. I write my thoughts down in my blog, and then I prep for my day.

Sometimes I don’t publish my thoughts but I write them nevertheless.

Simple truth…

He Lives

I serve a risen Savior.

He’s in the world today.

I know that He is living no matter what men may say.

I see His hands of mercy, I hear His voice of care.

None other is so loving, so good and kind.

He lives. He lives. Christ Jesus lives today.

Today, we remember Sunday Resurrection day. Suffered on the cross. Gave up the ghost. Buried and on the third day, God raised  Him from the grave.

He is now seated at God’s right hand in the glory. There, he lives to die no more.

I will serve Him forever.

The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Hebrews 2 verse 9, Luke 24 verse 7, Mark 16 verse 6. Anonymous Hymn

Me

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

At five years old, I wanted to continue to be me. I wanted to laugh to run around and make merry. I wanted to be free and enjoy the sunshine. At the end of the day, I wanted to hug my Mommy and Daddy and beat up my mean sisters.

I love a simple life.

The simplicity of salvation

What’s something most people don’t understand?

It is just a simple prayer to ask the Lord into your heart. Saying the words: Lord, I am a sinner. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and save me.

Easy. Simple. Powerful and life changing for the best forever.

In God, will I trust.

He is my rock, solid and sure when troubles come. I can hang onto him, remembering g his promises.

He is my shield. He protects me from the darts of the Devil as he wars against me.

He is my salvation. The Lord has made it possible through his sacrifice for me to be favored by God. I can come into the holy place of God to make requests. I can come to him personally, and he hears my prayers.

In God, do I trust.
