Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word
Life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the Son, day or night

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites,
and I will put my words in his mouth.
He will tell them everything I command him.
The Psalm of Many Mercies
God wants - God will Receive
What our Father God sets His Heart to do - what God Plans - God will Receive
Our Hope and Future God foresees is to save you - save me - save thousands of years of His people Yesterday, today and tomorrow - to Salvation in Jesus Christ.
Why?
To enjoy living and moving and dwelling with us in His Kingdom.
God's Kingdom - where His will is perfectly accomplished.
As He can do on earth and practices all and daily in God's Heaven.
Thanksgiving. For the Plans of God.
Thanksgiving for the Amazing Plan of our Father God of Love
The Psalm of Many Mercies.
Our God will steadfastly Love.
Abba, Holy Father,
We ask You for all Your Willing Blessings.
And what You give us is all we have. Every gift we have has come from You. Every day. Every thought. Everyone we Love. All goodness is from You.
Abba, what I can give You, that You did not give me - I can give You my sincere Thanks.
I can tell You all about the person I am and You will care and listen.
Thank You, Father God, for Your Sincere Steadfast Love.
When I pray I am leaning against You, Father. And as I tell You, I know I am precious to You. I receive Your mercy. I know all happiness in Your mercy. Psalm 139 tells me - Your thoughts of me are more than the beaches hold sand.
I remember the delight my young sons had in the Joy of Steadfast Love. And this Psalm is living and active in this Joy. Covering us all in God's Love.
The Good News - nothing cuts us off From God. God reaches beyond all barriers to bring us His Love.
Thank You, God.
Thank You for Jesus Christ.
You are our comforter. Our Help. Our Helper. We have Peace in You.
Amen in Jesus Christ.
