Psalm 16 ~ Path of Life

We are seeing unusual old fashioned rain in H Town and the area. The Pond is full and the Potato Vine is very happy.

Psalm 16


A Miktam of David.

1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you."

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.

4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.

6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.

8 I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.

11 You make known to me the path of life; 

in your presence there is fullness of joy; 

at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.




In the morning in Texas July, we might see some scant relief but now we'll see a Southern Version of the Snow bound. Except, we are going to see the desire to be inside during the hot part of the summer.

When you talk to long time Texans, you find inside happens more than you think in Hot Summer. Trips to do things will happen in the morning or early evening. Best to reset the clock for earlier bed time and rise early to see the earth fresh in the morning. God grant me the ability when I have jet lag for Daylight Savings and 2 hour real Jet Lag.


Our quiet 3rd to 4th of July saw a grand family Birthday and gifted beautiful Hummingbird Birthday Cake. July 4th - I saw the cool of our bedroom as I had gastroenteritis from antibiotics leading to a diet. An all day nappish. The Birthday group went on to Fireworks and dinner, Edward brought home pie and soup. Fortunately, the local fireworks could be seen from our den and we watched for about 35 minutes. I love Fireworks and Thank God for the opportunity to have walloping stomach upset and, yet, see Fireworks!!!

The next few days, back on my feet, ran into old neighbors and saw the next generation having new grandchildren, new degrees and fine new families with good dreams. Stone bruised my foot pretty badly and a very, very wonderful neighbor found my phone and brought it back after adjusting a backpack, 2 poodle puppies, water bowls and a wounded foot requiring shoe adjustments every few yards to get home. Lord Jesus sincerely bless the neighbor's in-law. Thank God, Thank God.

Feeling supreme Peace for growing sons, having wonderful employment and finishing up his own dime law school. Feeling absolutely blessed by Father God.

Our dear friend had gastroenteritis, fell while out and went to the hospital - and we missed our monthly Communion Breakfast. Jesus bless us to heal. Really Rally. All. Amen.

Lucked into a car show after Church early Sunday morning with a good cup of coffee as Edward and I discussed the merits of baked goods. The Wind of the Spirit is good fun! Where the Spirit of God will take us - we will not know!!! Rejoice.




Found our youngest son had the float trip with all sorts of opportunities for never-want-this-experience again. New tire new blowout from construction. Hour late. "Almost" Missing just by the skin of teeth the High School newlywed friend who was gracious enough to wait with the group for my son and his girlfriend to arrive from the blowout. Then the tube hit a rock and down went
all cell phones, all car keys. If the very gracious, newlywed High School pal had not waited... what would happen??? Thank God for His Mercy. Mercy. Mercy.

Blessed to see new starter neighborhoods with new flower beds. 3 dogs as to make sure working days have plenty of Joy. A tribe of happy, happy dogs. A happy Peach Tree. Fruit. The Gifts of God to the loving and gracious newlyweds. The Blessing of Life to see time pass and see Joy. Thank You, Father God.



Our son had a trip to San Antonio to return the group without keys with his pal,  And my son called his parents to drive to Austin and then San Marcus. The Holy Spirit provides new experiences. :)




A good bracing Sunday 7 hour Texas car trip. The Wind of the Holy Spirit Is Fun. God is Good.

Our lovely across the street neighbors lost their twin dogs to age 17 and 18, they were so very kind to step in and Standard Poodle sit. We even had text photos of the dogs. I can't tell you how much a Blessing this was. Jesus Bless our neighbor with his warm advice and steadfast care of rambunctious Puppies.

Where we all sat in San Marcos, gaspingly grateful, to see the amazing arrival of hot summer and many, many tubes float by. Summer Heat Arrives. Waving at the floaters waving at us. One God, one Peace, one Love.





Leading us into July.

Do you have vacation and holiday let down? I do. Blah. I find disturbances like finding the tenants in common with our MS land - decided not to pay their 1/4. Most upsetting when told this would happen. Nothing like a good unhealthy wallop to the Visa. La Wry. Where, oh where, did my first cousin go?

The Lord bless the long standing cousins who have always pulled the Little Wagon On. Thank God and Jesus bless them.


We are coming to the Great Texas Summer.





Abba,

From Ghoulies and Ghosties and long legged escaping Scotsmen. Good Lord Deliver us.


From things going bump in the night toe neil. Good Lord Deliver us.


And in Your Gracious Mercy, Help us to find the real Peace and rest in Your Strength.


The Blessings You willingly give us each day - we Thank You and Thank You and Thank You, Father God.


For the coming Tropical Storm this weekend - we pray Your Help. And Your Safety upon us all. For California and their safety from earthquakes we put the Name of Jesus on Your Good Creation.


For the blessings of my son - his God Given Blessings - I am tremendously grateful. For his job. And for dinner his lovely girlfriend brought us. The Blessing of Fellowship.


For Neighbors who bring you your lost phone and are a Blessing Profound. For 19 year neighbors helping with big puppies with warm and gracious advice - Thank You.


For Social Media bring us High School friends far away - The Blessing of Jesus in our Lives in ways we never, never knew would be in His Plan. And to remember dear hearts.


For High School friends who wait for you and then drive you to San Antonio as a newlywed, Graciously Bless their decades ahead. Long life with all God's Blessings!


For our dear friend who so shockingly had cancer all over his body thinking he had rough housed with his children, is finding healing from his surgery and renewed energy going to Wake Forest. Pleasing his loving, loving wife to Jesus. Thank You.


Rally us all to Good Health, we ask in Jesus.

For travel and safety from our older son arriving from Michigan again.


For all the prayers we bring - as Jesus said, with Hope. We petition our Loving Father. Lifting our cares to capable Hands. Loving Hands.


So very high we know that our Nation Trusts God and we are blessed. The Nations seeking His Brightness - Blessed. The praying Children of God around the world, renewed, strengthened, enabled, guided and comforted by our Heavenly Father.


More Heaven on earth, we pray in Jesus. Amen!










Psalm 46 

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.a A Song.

1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present  help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.


6The nations rage, the kingdoms totter

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.

10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Psalm 112 ~ Blessed




Psalm 112


Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commandments!

2 His offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is steady;  he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.

10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
the desire of the wicked will perish!







Choose this Day, Whom you will Serve!

The Jews prior to the birth, life, ministry and resurrection of Jesus - knew earthly blessings were the gauge in the depth of your salvation in God. The Disciples asked Jesus after He declared it was impossible for the rich to be saved and Jesus said, "All Things Are Possible with God."

Sometimes life is no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.

The Beatitudes probably really puzzled the Disciples. And were answered. All Things are Possible with God.


Proverbs 30:5

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.





Matthew 4:4


Jesus replied, 

It has been written, 
Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, 
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.



There are religious denominations globally picking the wealthy from the laity to be Bishops - saying the wealth is an indication of piety and holiness. Jesus gave us the Beatitudes to include the people in affliction. 

A very worthwhile point of Psalm 112 is the self esteem in standing firm to please God in all circumstances! God is Love. Worthy.








Abba,

You have given us Jesus. We are blessed. Fed and nourished by Your Word of Life in Jesus and in our worship. We Live by Your Willing Blessings. We are Blessing seekers and Blessing finders.


For all of us who were baptized into Christ have clothed ourselves with Christ!

Blessed with Numbers 6, Blessed by the prayer given to Moses. We are clothed in the Name of Jesus.

In Jesus our Righteousness. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. And in Belonging to Jesus Christ, then we are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the Promise.


Jesus has healed them all. We attain to Jesus Christ. Hold firm in Faith.


Placing the Love God is in Jesus Christ upon us and our cares are lifted.


God is Love and we believe with firm conviction our Loved ones are held in Great Love to Jesus.

We specifically pray for the people we love by name and healing from our friend with cancer to be fully restored.

God is Merciful and we believe God holds our Nation and gives His Willing Blessings to a Nation Trusting in Him.


God is Encouragement to the Nations rising to His Brightness in Jesus Christ.


God sees His Creation as Good in His Joy the world over is praying for more Heaven on this earth and His Good Will. A Certain Blessing.


In Jesus we rest in our Living and our Working God. Amen and Amen.

Mark 7:17-30 ~ home




Mark 7:17-30


17 After he had left the crowd 
and entered the house,






His disciples asked him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”



Jesus with the sparrows is the coast of Tyre

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.



 He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 

25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.





Using the Biblical Story Headings: Well, we all get on the freeway or the highway as needed. It's useful. Yet Jesus told us life in the fast lane is speeding past the slow, warm quality of relationship.

We can explain Mark 7:17-30 with this:

Matthew 22:23-32

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”


Jesus meant us to have a "Relationship" with Scriptures with our daily thoughts and reading. The Scriptures are alive and active. When we know the Scripture has Power and is living and active - when we see Living Water goes where Living Water wants to -  The God of the Living - is with the People of the Bible.  The Power God is giving us when we let Scripture live in our hearts.




1. Jesus tells us what comes out of us defines us. And He lists what to listen for to find difficulty. Things God hears every day in prayer and in His People.

Jesus is dealing with hostile people in Matthew 22. He is dealing with the far over that Heaven is a fable. And Jesus is making His Point. He is pointing out God is Living - why isn't this Possible? Jesus made this point with the unfortunate and the fortunate. Jesus is speaking with those far away and those close.

2. Jesus then says we are responsible for what comes out of us. Then He Immediately (Jesus loved Immediately, just as He reached down to save Peter) turns completely around to tell of His Journey leaving Israel (Judea) to find a child in terrible distress. Jesus is saying in combining the way Scripture is placed - Jesus is saying - Don't Just Apply the Labels. Judge with Right Judgement. Jesus triumphs over the 'rules' by using the two passages to show Jesus uses Mercy over all. Jesus is also saying Jesus is King and His Word upholds and is for our - yar - reverence.

In Matthew 22, Jesus is meeting the people who have a faith defined with death. Jesus is greeting them with the Power of God using the Scriptures they respect. Jesus is the Light of the world. Jesus is expanding the existing reverence. We know He did.



3. Jesus records He entered two different 'houses', and, then, after Jesus has prayed and has entered the people, Jesus records the woman went 'home." The Love Jesus fills in us is warm. The difference would be the woman sought Jesus with all her needs and was diligent to remain with Jesus. She was going nowhere without the Power and Word of God. This woman knew Jesus to be God of the Living.


In Both.  Mark 7 - Jesus is the King. And in Matthew 22 - Jesus is the King.





What comes from Jesus is Love, Joy, Peace and Jesus is Amazingly Steadfast.


God was Amazingly Right - Israel today is a Land of Milk and Honey.



May the Lord God our Father
Bless us and Keep us,
May the Lord God our Father make His face to Shine upon us.
May the Lord God our Father  continue to be gracious to us.
Thank You, Father God.

We ask Your Blessing on this Nation on our Birthday weekend to find more unity of  "Home'. We pray for Israel to have Peace. We pray for the friends suffering cancer to be healed in the Strong Name of Jesus.

May the Lord God our Father, our Abba, Smile upon us and lift up His Face.

May the Lord God our Father give us Peace.
May the Lord God our Father give us the assurance of His own Peace.
We will wrap His Blessings to surround us and live the assurance of our Father God's Promises and Blessings.

May the Blessings of our Jesus surround us, enfold us, guide and lead us forever.


And in the Name of Jesus Christ, we will be forever blessed.


Amen and Amen.

Matthew 5: 1-18 ~ see God



Matthew 5: 1-18


Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

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 before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished



The Law is mankind living by every Word of God.



The Beatitudes. Suffering - Not what we are fond of. Of the Chapters in the Bible the Biblically Uncomfortable are going to be vocal about - we have arrived.


Pie in the Sky Bye oh Bye. It sounds like Ron Weasley in Divinations, "Harry. You are going to Suffer. But you are going to be Happy about that."

If we are going to start out honestly, and on a good foot - we  do have a good disregard for suffering. Bam. We have started out where a Good Father would want us to.


If we were so very fortunate to sit with Jesus, Wonderful Jesus. Wonderful Counselor. Almighty God. We would have seen Jesus speak this with probably puzzled Disciples. It's puzzling. And joyful the Disciples might be - finding the Purpose of God is to fulfill the Goodness and Hope of Future for God's Plans.

The Disciples are fully informed why Jesus delights in His Father's Good Will. Jesus Heals - Everyone. Jesus walks on water. Jesus fully is the exact nature of His Father. Because God shares His Goodness.

Why the poor in spirit, mourning, meek,  hungering and persecuted?  For the Exact Reason the Disciples were Puzzled. The Old Testament says if you do what God wants - then you are BLESSED.




Jesus is expanding the Light of Christ in ALL Directions.



Luke 13

1 At that time, some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?"



Is God Himself saying take distress, heart break and sorrow lying down?

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?

Let Love be Genuine.

No longer sing, "Put on a Happy Face." Jesus is saying be who you are.







Merciful. Hungering for Righteousness. Blessed with Peacemaking. SHINE. You are a City on a Hill. Rejoice with those who are Rejoicing.

I've seen with my own eyes, good deeds not told. Not to be seen as a goofy do gooder. SHINE. We have so much sour news, why not tell when flowers go to the ill. Chicken Soup to a friend. Good deeds of money collected. Shine.





The poor in spirit, mourning, meek,  hungering and persecuted. No way this is going to turn around. Doomed.  God will accomplish His Purpose. If we are not told it turned around as life pushes and rolls past us. If we wanted a different outcome for someone else, we can be sure God is going to provide Good. God's Purpose is Good.  God tells us how He is working. Today.


The Strong Promises of God are this:

The Kingdom of Heaven.
Comfort.
Inherit God's Good Creation.
Satisfaction.
Mercy.
God Himself.
Being the Beloved Children of God.
The People of the Scriptures.


Even when we do not like our circumstances:

Romans 5:5
Endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.


Jesus picked up Peter in his distress. Jesus tells us when we look for God, we will find God.


There are so many Blessings in the Old Testament. What Blessings did Paul see and record? 2 Corinthians 9


Abba, Father,

You, our God - is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times,
you may abound in every good work.

9 As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”

10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints
but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God


We ask for Your Willing Blessings Father God.

Praying with Hope all Your Willing Blessings of those we Love. Rejoicing in the Blessings we see and the Blessings we understand. Being Blessing hunters and seekers.

Coming in prayer for the portions in life - unrewarding. Worrying. Sad. Asking for others and ourselves to have Your Love, Joy and Peace.

Finding Blessings. In finding Blessings, we find more. Blessing You for our lives. Blessing those we pray for with healing. And new opportunities seeing the possibilities.

Privilege to be asking more Heaven on earth. Your own good will, covering us all, the Nation, the Nations of God, the People of God now and to be.

In Jesus. Amen.

Luke 17:37 ~ Where the Body of Christ is



Did Jesus ever tell us in the Bible about the New World?

I believe Jesus did hint of this. When the Book of Revelations is read, we remember Daniel Chapter Two explaining the King's dream. We remember Joseph explaining the Pharaoh's Dream. The Book of Revelation explains picture words telling of nations to be and form.

Picture words are important. The Bible tells us God warns of images. And we plunk down and watch Cheetos become talking things. God has always known what God is doing. I'm female, I have no problem not watching a lot of gore on TV.

Did Jesus ever tell us in the Bible about the New World? Us, the United States of America?

Luke 17:37


"And they answered and said to Him, 'Where, Lord?

And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together."







We can treat this Biblical verse exactly as we treat our soul.
We can dismiss we have a soul. We can think of this verse as dead bodies. We can think of the Body of Jesus Christ. And this is the Living God, Living Word working in our souls, heart, mind and body.




Lately, the Pew Report has Good News. About 2011, a study on Prayer said Americans pray 80% once a month. We all want conversations with those we love to occur more than once a month! And then in 2016, the Pew Report said Americans pray daily, 55%, with all Hope and Love and Soul knowing that our God hears our prayers with Mercy. Marriage has increased, babies born to parents married and committed has increased. We pray with the same rate as nations with supreme distress. We pray in Good times and in improvement-quickly-needed times.




We have a House.
A Nation built to govern to love, encourage, feed, fill and nourish We the People of These United States of America.

We can do what we will to this House. We can dismiss we are a People with this House. We can count historical losses and failures. We can speak of these failures constantly. We can be dead to the Nation and refuse to find uplifting goodness and fail to vote.

We can think of the Church of Jesus Christ, as Winning and Triumphant. The Church ceased to lose 2% annually. The Nation knows profound is the movement from established denominations, to move to find more of the Living God. The Body of Christ is upbuilding. We can remember the Hurricanes where the people were fed by the grid work of Churches coming together for one solid year to feed Katrina Evacuees. We can remember Sutherland Springs, Texas where neighbors raced and fought to make sure the gunman didn't get to the next Church. Lives put on the line to create a safe haven.

We can remember the Cajun Navy. One Nation. Boston 2017 racists were overwhelmed by those Living Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Dream. We have a Dream.





We will fill our lives with what we allow.
We can vote out goodness with the old ways for votes for what we should not. We can vote in our ideals. We put aside wars profiting none. We elevate in families. We rise in education. We provide with God's Blessings. We prevail to support marriage. We prosper to provide opportunities for all in education. We have hope enduring in affordable housing. College graduates have hope to see marriages endure until death do we part. Providing the families holding Love together. We need Strong Families with the Hope Jesus Sustains.

We can dream of possibilities. Term limits. Better education costs. Less war. We can fill our lives with better dreams.





Really we know what inspires. Jesus Christ. Every faithful person has a miracle God has given. Our heart to His Heart.  We know God's Love, we will fill our lives with Jesus Christ. And have His Strength. Have His Comfort, give and receive His Love. The Name above all.


Philippians 2

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus





May the Lord God our Father
Bless us and Keep us,
May the Lord God our Father make His face to Shine upon us.
May the Lord God our Father  continue to be gracious to us.
Thank You, Father God.

May the Lord God our Father, our Abba, Smile upon us and lift up His Face.

May the Lord God our Father give us Peace.
May the Lord God our Father give us the assurance of His own Peace.
We will wrap His Blessings to surround us and live the assurance of our Father God's Promises and Blessings.

May the Blessings of our Jesus surround us, enfold us, guide and lead us forever.


And in the Name of Jesus Christ, we will be forever blessed.


Amen and Amen.

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.
