The Birds Recovered in 2021!!!!!

Hope for the Best

Prepare for the Worst

and Settle for in between.

See what happens with Prayer.

Last year, caring for family, we traveled, according to our phone,

20,000 miles and 611 car trips, taking time.

Nineteen Days into 2022 and I've seen 100 fights

and badly behaving human beings.

At least 4 a day.

How badly? Broken laws, broken boundaries, broken families,

broken health safety, people trying to take advantage of any situation.

Unhappy people repeating behavior that they know how to do to

grab some chunk of anger and swing it.

Causing hurt, annoyance and overpower others for grins and illness.

Trying to make themselves feel better,

boasting about theft,

look better,

feel stronger.

According to the News, 

we aren't getting more rational and calm.

The News reported today a daughter told her friends on social media,

her mother died. This was so grieved and all the friends turned it into a fight about

Vaccines. The mother who passed on had an appointment, but no one

seemed to care about the grief or actual circumstances.

Any Good News?

Yep, the UK took a look at the world's largest economy

and ditched everything we are screaming about at each other.

Hey, do the Opposite of the Yanks.

A new way to lead by example.

I've seen a fight on Facebook about CRT and it was ugly.

It involved when to dump the skunk out of people

and what will be done with States having everyone leave.

There are only so many times one can explain

and then it has to be chalked up to

finding fault.

So where are we going to find Balance?

Daniel 1:9

Daniel is Rescued!

 And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief

Jesus grew up surrounded by a family

Gospels record as close.

New times. And didn't stay close. 

John 7

In fact, there was

a giggling try to thieve Jesus out of His Fame.

Mocking the Life and Ministry of Jesus. At this point,

what they wanted was Less of Jesus and more of comfort.

None of this family crisis, criticism was genuine,

they just wanted more comfort in their own life.

Maybe they felt like life wasn't exciting without Jesus there.

Possibly they wanted to say team to Mary.

Maybe, they felt bitter about their own life and circumstances.

Probably, it was Jealousy.

But John 7 can't be taken as Agape.

Jesus did this instead,  Jesus moved on. Where

the soil was warm. 

Time.

God is God and He didn't feel that any immediate

fix was possible. 

Jesus said, plainly, this isn't the time. 

Jesus didn't set around telling Parables about His Family.

But one thing we do have in common with this rancor, seen as so many,

people now exercise and go places in singular style.

This, John 7, was the Festival of Booths - when you give up your employment,

you hunker down in one space. Stay out of your normal environment,

with people in tight quarters. Told to Love one another.

Jesus didn't stay in Samaria. The birds ate up what

Jesus was putting to grow and wanted Jesus to remain

just in their town. And in fact, then were angry with Jesus.

Jesus was not always happy with the Blessing Seekers,

their hopes sprang up quickly, the love was shallow,

then it all seemed to wither if there wasn't free food

and big party.

Jesus told the Rich Young Man, follow me.

Jesus knew thorns would grow up and choke out the light.

Jesus said the same thing to the man who wanted to go home

and care for his dying family. Jesus said let the dead take care

of the dead. Jesus saw this happen with the 72 Disciples

who didn't want God's New Covenant to be Body and Blood of Jesus.

Other places were giving Love, Hope and Future.

Jesus was going where He knew there was

Love. And Jesus found the people to heal and to put His Effort

Upon them. Flawed people who put Love and Hope in Him.

Jesus had a crop from day one.

And the People loving Jesus wanted to see each other

healed, whole, Loved and Happy.

Jesus made time and effort to heal

what wanted His Love.

Jesus was found by those seeking Him.

Jesus was on the Sea of Galilee every day

and we know the crowd could find Him.

Jesus was building the Kingdom of Heaven

every day.

Jesus wasn't necessarily having the 

Kingdom of Heaven shown to Him.

Light of God.
Light of the world.

Light of mankind.

Jesus was bringing Heaven

where Heaven was sought.

Why did Jesus even Bother

to have hope for the people

apart from Him?

They knew where God was going. Knowledge of the Glory

and Mystery in Faith. Knowledge of the soul with

the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Given because God gives Salvation.

Jesus was seeing who ever Has More of Jesus

will be given more.

Jesus in abundance.

Even in Nazareth, we find the Roman Empire marched in

in the 4th Century, to try to tear Jesus out of His Family.

Constantine was there as a Prince of Rome.

And Bishop Eucebius of Caesarea. 

When we allow time apart,

we pray this:

 Father, To give to Your care. To see clearly. To hear You and Understand.

A heart warm and loving, not calloused.

Hear with our EARS,

Open our EYES,

In Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Deuteronomy 30:6 

 The Lord your God will change your heart and the hearts of all your descendants, 

so that you will love Him with all your heart and soul

 and so you may 

live!

Psalm 33:15 

 He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. 

The Maker of hearts also knows how to remake hearts.

Abba, Father,

How do we pray with such joy and expectation?

Jesus told us to Pray and always have Hope.

Father, dwell in us, please help us to found Joyful to You.

Help us to seek You first.

Bless those I love and the People You've given me

to have You dwell in us all and Help us all Seek You First.

Strong in Jesus Christ.

Father, it is in the heart, mind and soul of all of our prayers

 Your Kingdom is seen more and more on this earth.

We pray Thank You and Gratitude for the birds who were ill in 11 of the United States

to end the illness of Covid and join in this like the bird recovery.

Jesus has said to me and to you, "Pray for more of God's Good Kingdom

to be done on earth as in Heaven."

What astonishing Good Fortune!

How Blessed we are to Serve the God of Love.

Love God, Love His Creation, Ask for This Marvelous Help!

Pray with Hope, Expect You to be Pleased and Thrilled

and filled with Love at this Prayer.

And in the Power and Glory of the Highest Name of Jesus,

we will begin to look and see more of God's Heaven on this earth.

May God Bless Edward, our family,

Bless us all to Finish Well.

The Bible is being Incredibly Read These Years

Have All Hope.

Lift again tired dog path knees and straighten again

The News reported

Virus make us stronger.

Our resilience.

Our endurance.

Our Belief, we will Go Forth.

Hebrews 12:11-15

11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, 

but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness 

to those who have been trained by it. 

Therefore lift 

your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 

  and make straight paths for your feet, 

so that what is lame may not be put out of joint 

but 

rather 

be healed! 

14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 

15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; 

that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, 

and by it many become defiled.

Please pray for Dee and Wayne

both are feeling unwell.

Pray for healing.

Please pray for my third eye surgery

My eyes are painfully dry

and I need His Help

to have well eyes enough

to be operated upon.

Let the Love God is Strengthen us to Joy.

Our Path to be in His Plan.

In the Wonderful and the 

Highest Name of Jesus Christ.

Amen in His Joy. Amen.

Zechariah 8:1-8 ~ I will bring them to dwell in the midst

 

Cristo Redentor, Corcovado, Rio De Janeiro

Zechariah 8:1-8

1 And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying, 

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. 3 Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. 

4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? 

7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, 8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. 

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.”

~ behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country

Psalm 103:11-12

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 130

 

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,and in his word I put my hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,

for with the LORD is unfailing love

and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel

from all their sins.

Psalm 51

9 Hide your face from my sins

and blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

God is mighty to save

- Jealous for His people; wants their true love

- Faithful to provide

- Unchanging in righteousness; yesterday, today and tomorrow

- Accomplishes the improbable

Abba, Father,

Thank You for this day. 

Thank You for my life. 

Thank You for the Book of Life. 

Thank You for Jesus. 

Thank You for Jesus.
Thank You for Jesus.

And in His Temple, all cry, “Glory!”
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as King forever.

May the Lord give strength to his people!

May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Hebrews 4:4a-16 ~ if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day

Hebrews 4:4a-16

And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 

5 And again in this passage he said,

“They shall not enter my rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.

11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 

16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

In My Father's House, there are Many Dwelling Places

We've thought a lot about Heaven. Heaven of multitudes of people. Heaven, where all people get to meet and see Jesus in His Glory.  Heaven made up of families. Heaven, made up of the generations. Heaven, God's Kingdom, made up of cultures. 

Yesterday we looked at:

John 5:17

Jesus answered them, "To this very day My Father is always at his work to this very day,

 and I too am working."

Hebrews 4

 

And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 

5 And again in this passage he said,

“They shall not enter my rest.”

Jesus loved parables to explain the truth. Just as we love to see photographs and explore personalities, watching entertainment. Jesus loved to present an aspect of life and allow us to picture the ideals and wonder. In this wonder to learn about our Father and His Love watching Jesus heal.

John 4:34

 

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him

 who sent me and to accomplish his work.

When we speak of His Feast for His Son. The Wedding Feast of the Lamb of God, we are talking about the completion and the enduring Life in Heaven. 

Isaiah 2;4 

 And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; 

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 

and their spears into pruning hooks; 

nation shall not lift up sword against nation, 

neither 

shall they learn 

war anymore.

In Heaven, we are learning peace.  Peace is not rest always. Peace is learning. 

Zechariah 8:3-8

The faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. 

4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. 

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 

6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? 

7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, 8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.”

What will you be in Heaven? We know Abba makes all things new. Will you be old in great age? Will you be the children in the streets.

Zechariah 8

11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. 

12 For there shall be a sowing of peace.

 The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. 13 And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.” 

 14 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, 15 so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not. 

16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; 

render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; 

17 do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, 

and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.” 

 18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, 19 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. 

Therefore love truth and peace.

The God of the Old Testament is the Father of Love and Encouragement. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. When we account, in our ideas and heart, for the variations of work and rest in Heaven, we will place this in the Steadfast Circle of God's Love. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. 

Abba, Father,

Your Promises are Sure.

Your Word is Love.

Dwell in us.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to seek You first.

With Your Holy Spirit, we will see You more and more.

Encourage us in this Life

and we will finish well.

Thank you for the prayers for the people in my family.

This Saturday, we will gather to Celebrate Christmas.

Please keep in your prayers, my 3rd eye surgery January 27th.

And peace with Joy within our family.

Hopefully, Lord Jesus, this Cataract Surgery will happen this year, in January. Not like last year. 

We pray Peace across the Nation, for our families to have Love and Peace, 

the Soul of our Nation

and His enfolding Love of His Good Creation.

1 Corinthians 13:12

Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. 

Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, 

even as I am fully known.

2 Corinthians 4:18

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.

For ourselves, for our families,

for our steadfast goodness in endurance

with 

Faith

Hope 

and Love

The Greatest is Love.

The Highest Name of Christ Jesus the Lord God Almighty Savior.

Alleluia

Amen.
