Mark 7:31-37 ~ Jesus has done everything well






Mark 7:31-37


  31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. 
“He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”




Today is our 35th Wedding Anniversary. I feel like we should all sing, "Sunrise, Sunset"!  This Anniversary is easier than so many. Our children have arrived at vocations and employment. There is much to be grateful for, and I wake up each morning, of 2021, and feel grateful. Hopefully, with wonderful reason.

We spent our 3rd Anniversary at home with Lobster Tail Dinner and Champagne. Our first child, tucked into the wind-up swing attached to the Apnea monitor. He was 6 weeks premature, and Cal  was 7 weeks old. We were boiling massive water on the stove. Cal had a cold. I remember Cal sneezed and the sneeze seemed to echo. I guess it did, I remember this so well. Being distinctly tense. Cal would actually stop breathing for an entire year. We were not used to our baby, our premature baby, having to be shaken to breathe. Looking back on this, we were Blessed of God to have this happen. If he'd simply died in his sleep, would we - the young us - forgiven ourselves. Instead, the monitor became routine, to have the alarm go off in our sleep, trudge down the hallway, shake Cal, kiss him, watch everything right itself, say, "Thank God" and go back to sleep.

By the time we turned 30, we were celebrating 8 years, with two sons. And easily hired Edward's cousin to stay with the boys and had a nice Suite and Downtown Dinner. We were casual and relaxed.

Our 15th year Anniversary was spent at home, cooking for the four of us. Are you kidding, when sons are in almost High School, you stay home. I missed the trip to Vegas, the same reason. One of our Anniversaries was High Tea and food galore with Youth Group. The boys enjoyed the fuss and gave themselves permission to try High Tea with a bunch of male friends. We all laughed a Lot.


Our Honeymoon was wonderful, we went to London. Got lost in a London fog, went to the wrong restaurant and found perfection. We had High Tea at the Ritz and never lost the enthusiasm for tea and High Tea. It was our only Anniversary with snow.


To look at all the Anniversaries, is to look back and find so many things were so dour and seeing in hindsight were blessings. All things work together for good, for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose.

The hills and valleys were part of a Plan. If only we knew we would see it Later.









Abba, Father God,

John 15

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4
 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain
 in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, 
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 
8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 

10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, 
just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 

11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, 
for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other. 


To live in Your Grace and Mercy
Knowing to put down the worries that were pointless and fruitless in the past.

In Jesus Christ, to have Your Grace and go forth. Forgiven of old worries.

To press on to Seek You First.
To daily include and invite, You, to dwell in me.
And in those I love, the people God has given me.
And be grateful.

To forgive those who have given Judgement, as I have judged. 
To be wiser, to rejoice.
Rejoice in faith, hope and Love and not be tossed by my doubts
and not tossed by doubts of others.
Hold tightly to Jesus Christ daily.

To be Blessed to ask more Heaven on earth.
To find more Heaven on earth.
Be more Heaven on earth.

To pray for good health for me,
I need prayers for rapid heartbeat for the first time since 2005.
This is uncomfortable and signals more exercise and less caffeine.
As we pray for all of us in Covid, with our concerns 
and the worries of others. So many people have allergies, colds,
coughs and sneezing without Covid. 
Believing, this is sympathy of the world for 
one another.

The Lord Jesus remember Elliott's miracle.
The hopes we put in knowing of Miracles of Yours
and Prayer moving Your hand.

We pray for those who are ill
and asked for prayer. Covering them
in the Willingness of Jesus.

Keep us in Jesus,
This Republic, the people of the Republic.
 The world needing kindness and a hope
of peace from this hugely stressful season.
We pray for the United States Congress to calm down.
And those having stress being involved there. We need you. It will turn out well,
we have read the Last Page of the Bible and this ends well.
238 Accomplishments requires Mercy.
Our Governors and Legislatures for help and wisdom.
Giving Thanks to those keeping Mercy and Justice.
Let's agree in prayer, Pandemic
causes willy-nilly barbarism brain thoughts that end.
And we pray Jesus for go faster, please.
He understands. 
We arrive in prayer just as we really are.

Keeping the joyful thought of Eighty percent of
people pray. And not worrying too much about this poll
or that poll. God forgives the sin of our youth, and
knowing the Church has always welcomed
those of years in the pews for a long time.
God doesn't worry too much about the people who Pray.
His Love is flowing, now, for us
and the people who will come to a prayer and faith life.
His Mercy Renews Daily.

Thank God,
Thank God,
Thank Jesus.
Amen with prayer in Jesus
and Your Righteousness.
Please Availeth this one much.
Amen.






Lord Father, Thank You for
hearing our Prayers
in  Jesus. Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. 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. <><
