Malachi 3:17
"They will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts,
"on the day that I prepare My own possession,
and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."
Joseph was spared from stoning Mary or abandoning Mary and Jesus.
Joseph was spared from Nazareth with an infant.
Joseph was spared from Herod and living in Jerusalem after returning from Egypt.
Jesus was protected from Herod,
His angry Grandparents and abandonment.
Jesus was given brothers and sisters.
Living to Fulfill God's Plan and defeat Death.
Jesus gave Abundant Life.
Mary was spared from divorce or being stoned.
Mary was invited to Elizabeth's and spared from her parents.
Mary was spared from Herod. And from Nazareth until Jesus was older.
Nazareth, with the help of Jesus, saw them as a seamless family.
Mary was going to be blessed past the sword in her heart.
Mary was given another son, John, the Disciple.
The Temple welcomed infant Jesus
and saw Him as the Child of God, Messiah.
Light to Israel.
Jesus experienced other cultures
and understood God's Mercy outside of Judea.
Jesus would experience all types of Siblings.
Nazareth had time to learn of Joseph's family.

Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God,

He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you

and do not be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Psalm 103

and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
Jesus brings many sons to glory.
For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels,
and He will reward each person according to what he has done.
We ask You Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to Seek You First.
We will finish Well.
Today:
We are praying for Dee and Wayne. Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross. We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely.
We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store.
We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage.
Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home.
We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again
and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.
Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways.
Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal us all
this Nation
our Families
the angry
the afraid
Praise to You, God of Love
God of Encouragement
in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.
We pray for all those who mourn
the passing of their Loved Ones.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
those with whom He is pleased!”
Father God, help us to do the Good Works You have prepared us to walk in.
For the ones we Love and the People You have given us.
For our Churches, places of work, our states and Nation.
The People who are Your Beloved, to ALL
cover them with Your Name in strength and mercy.
We live abundantly on the Word of God, You have provided.
We Pray for the Republic.
We the People all have Family and Loved Ones
we have fought and lived and died
for our Freedoms.
We the People pray
One Nation Under God
with
Liberty and Justice for All.
We pray for Truth.
Knowing in the Truth is where Peace and Integrity
with Love and Courtesy Dwell.
We ask to know to seek You first in all aspects of Life.
Knowing we will see and be more of Heaven on earth.
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Abba, Father God,
You have told us to always pray with Hope.
Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.
Covered in God's Love,
The end of Trouble.
Help this Virus end quickly, safely
We rest in the Hands of Our Good Father.
In Jesus Christ. Amen.
