John 2
2 On the third day there was a wedding (Feast) at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”
And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.”
So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?”
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.
24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them because he knew all people 25 and needed no one to bear witness about man,
for he himself knew what was in man.
The placement of the Scriptures and God's perfect ability to align His Exact Meaning. Always astonishing. We see a feast, family vacation and the time to travel again into adverse circumstance.
2020. We can see, clearly, this could be the perfect year to have raging, stampeding Fight. The news reflects this as we know of more sadness related deaths. Stress is plentiful. It's the perfect way to bring out all over our undisclosed, not discussed and churned out fears about the future, economics and old problems. Discuss Politics.
There a Solution.
Please see Minute 3:20. You can't stop the snow, but you can dance.
Matthew 5:43-
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
If, perhaps, your 'perfect' has a 2020 Void Stamp placed upon this, you might like this:
Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine
Gratitude isn't when we focus on duty. Gratitude is when we focus on Sincerity and Warmth.
Gratitude's key — Let Love Be Genuine!
Even when we remember, to find the Gratitude of Today, embedded in the Joy of Yesterday.
Galatians 5
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience and
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians is like the rest of the Scriptures, it isn't written when life is brimming over with perfect good cheer, and was written in a time of conflict. Between Grace and Law. Fighting the Good Fight to find the Lighted Path of God.
Walk by Faith.
Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up
1 Thessalonians 5:14
And we urge you, brothers,
admonish the unruly,
encourage the fainthearted, help the weak,
and be patient with everyone.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love one another deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins.
We want our lives to be rosy bright on our Days of Expectation. Some days are over expected.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
