Mark 8:14-21 ~ they began discussing with one another

 




Mark 8:14-21




Now they had forgotten to bring bread,
 and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 

And He cautioned them, saying, 

“Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.


And Jesus, aware of this, said to them,
 
“Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?”






They said to him, “Twelve.” 

“And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” 

And they said to Him, “Seven.” 

And He said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”



1 Corinthians 2:14

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, 
for they are folly to him, 
and
 he is not able to understand them 
because they are spiritually discerned.



1 Corinthians 13:12 

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, 
even as I have been fully known.








Acts 12: 5-16



5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. 6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison.




 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 

9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 



10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. 



11 When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” 


 12 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. 

13 And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. 

14 Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. 

15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” 

But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is his angel!” 

16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.










Abba, Father,


Genesis 18:14 

 Is anything too hard for the Lord?


2 Corinthians 1 ~ New American Standard

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Who comforts us in all our affliction
so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction
with the comfort 
with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance,
so also our comfort 
is abundant through Christ.




Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well, 
in Jesus Christ. 


Help us seek and find 
and bring,
to become,
 more Heaven
to this earth.


And the 2026 birth
of our
first Grandchild.
Jesus Christ, please,
Your blessings of
Health, Peace,
Wisdom
and Prosperity
for His Glory!

And Thank You Edward
his eye heals
and me
to
sleep well
and feel strong all day long.



Thank You, Father, 
for Jesus Christ the Messiah. 
Lord of All.
Amen.

Revelation 7:9-12 ~ Salvation belongs to our GOD!

 

Revelation 7:9-12



After this I looked, and behold, 
a great multitude that no one could number, 
from every nation, 
from all tribes and peoples and languages, 
standing before the Throne 
and 
before the Lamb

Clothed in white robes, 
with palm branches in their hands, 
and 
crying out with a loud voice, 
“Salvation belongs to our God 
Who sits on the Throne, 
and to the Lamb!” 

And all the angels 
were standing around the Throne 
and 
around the elders 
and 
the four living creatures

And they fell on their faces before the throne 
and 
worshiped God, saying, 
“Amen! Blessing
 and glory 
and wisdom 
and thanksgiving 
and 
honor and power
 and 
might be to our God 
forever and ever! 
Amen.”



Daniel 7:14
 
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. 
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, 
and 
His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. 



 Isaiah 60:3-5 

Nations will come to your light, 
and 
kings to the brightness of your dawn.  

Lift up your eyes and look around: 
They all gather and come to you; 
your sons will come from afar, 
and your daughters will be carried on the arm. 

 Then you will look and be radiant, 
and 
your heart will tremble and swell with joy, 
because the riches of the sea will be brought to you, 
and 
The wealth of the nations will come to you.







The earth is the Lord's
and
the fulfillment thereof

His Good Creation






Luke 15:7-10 

 Just so, I tell you, 
there will be more joy in Heaven 

Over one sinner who repents 
than over ninety-nine righteous persons 
who need no repentance!



A great multitude that no one could number, 
from every nation, 
from all tribes and peoples and languages, 
standing before the Throne 
and 
before the Lamb





Abba, Father,

Jesus Himself tells us
He is the way, the truth and the Life.

No matter
our season
or
the world's season
or culture
language
need
or ability
 
For everything there is a season
and a time
for every matter under 
Heaven.


Know the Scriptures,
Know the Power of God.

And we will believe in the One He has Sent.

Should You so chose 
to
write us a Letter,
we would 
Receive Your Word 
with
Joy!


Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
Who has blessed us in Christ 
with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places, 
even as He chose us in Him 
before the foundation of the world, 
that 
we should be 
holy 
and 
blameless 
before Him. 

In Love, He predestined us for adoption to Himself 
as sons through Jesus Christ, 
according to the purpose of His Will, 
to the praise 
of His Glorious Grace, 
with which 
He has blessed us in the Beloved. 


In Him we have 
redemption 
through His Blood, 
the forgiveness of our trespasses, 
according 
to the Riches of His Grace, 
which 
He lavished upon us, 
in all wisdom and insight 
making known to us 
The Mystery of His Will, 
according to His purpose, 
which He set forth in Christ 
as a plan for the fullness of time, 
to 
unite 
all 
things 
in Christ. 

Things in Heaven 
and 
things on earth 
in 
Him.




In Him we have obtained an inheritance, 
having been predestined 
according to the purpose of Him 
Who works all things according to the Counsel of His Will, 
so that we 
who were the first to hope in Christ 
might be 
to the praise 
of His Glory. 


In Him you also, 
when you heard the Word of Truth, 
The Gospel 
of your salvation, 
and 
believed in Him, 
were sealed with the promised 
Holy Spirit

Who is the guarantee of our inheritance 
until we acquire possession of it, 
to the praise
 of 
His 
Glory.




For the Gift of Love
Jesus,

In the Highest Name 
of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Zephaniah 3:17 ~ The Lord your God

 

Forsynthia in flower language is the joy of new beginnings

The anticipation of spring


There are many gifts God gives us




Salvation 
is the most important

Zephaniah 3:17



The Lord your God
is
in your midst


A Mighty One


Who Will Save

He Will Rejoice 
over you
with gladness

He Will
Quiet you by His Love

He Will
Exult over you
with Loud Singing

  

Lent is approaching. And this is a very good season to examine the times and ways you personally draw near to the Lord.  When I worked with Pro Life, we often heard from women in dire circumstances they felt apart from God. When we suggested listening to Christian Radio, the ladies came back with more joy saying God had helped them to be near Him.




The Absolutely sky filling 
Archangel cloud
we saw on Lake Texhoma
staying in place for two solid hours.


Another cousin-in-law of mine said he had difficulty feeling God was near.  And he felt so much more calm and in peace and safety while he listened to Gregorian Hymn Chant. 15th Century Gregorian Chant recorded by monks.  For a long time Edward and I did not exactly appreciate the Chants.  And then Edward looked for the Hymn Chants he liked. And I found I liked the Hymns Edward liked. Today, many years later, we like the Hymns. And feel much more in tune with Jesus to listen.



Remember, Monks fed the world. Educated for literacy. 
Especially after the decimation
of the Black Plaques.  

After Henry VIII decimated the monasteries, starvation was the cause of death of 1/3 of his subjects.  Monasteries started the idea of works and healing and fulfilled this by beginning the first hospitals during plague.







And if that does not move your heart, remember they taught farming, bee keeping and made jolly good beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Water supplies and that. 



Let's also bring to remembrance,
Cathedrals we love today
were built with entire monasteries
making sure
the Beauty Was Established
in
Worship.




Accepting the gift of God!


Philippians 4:8

Finally
Brothers!

Whatever is 
True

Whatever is Honorable
Whatever is
Just

Whatever is
Commendable

If there is
Any Excellence

If there is anything
Worthy of Praise

Think
about
These Things.






Hosea 10:12

Sow for yourselves
Righteousness

Reap 
Steadfast Love

Break up your
fallow ground.

For it is Time
to
Seek The Lord.

That He may come
and Rain Righteousness
upon you.





Abba, Father!

Shining
The Light of Love Peace and Joy
upon
The Teachings of Jesus Christ.
God of Love
God of Encouragement
God of the Bible. 

Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well, 
in Jesus Christ. 


Help us seek and find 
and bring,
to become,
 more Heaven
to this earth.


Amen Amen
Amen
Amen

And for our
first grandchild
in June
Good Health
and God's Blessings
on our family.

For the Gift of Love
Jesus,

In the Highest Name 
of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
