Deuteronomy 10:12 ~ to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul




Not boldly, yet sincerely, most of us love the song, "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music.


Jeremiah 23:7-8



7“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 8 but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”


Moses and Jeremiah prophesied about changing the story, changing History to make people feel uncomfortable and more comfortable with the current philosophies.

Fake news. Misfire stories. Stories untold. If we believe the worst of mankind, of ourselves, will we have the proper level of hope? We need to know what we do to melt God's heart, to understand His love for us.

We want to avoid being the squeaky geek to lead the charge. Looks ineffective. It's risky to stand up like that in front of your colleagues. Pray for us all to have personal courage. Because really there are good people willing. If they have Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to pull us together.




Jeremiah points out earnestly wanting to know Scriptures - as we are - is a sign of hope

When we admit we are not perfect people and need Jesus to be our righteousness. 
There is hope. When we see people have changed denominations looking for the Scripture to be preached as an Authoritative Word of God - this is wonderful and this is - This Generation.








This week, we have all wanted Ukraine to be free. The world has watched and prayed. Making some uncomfortable to be willing to pray for what looks doomed.  Like the tank running over the elderly man, we saw the violence of deliberate doom.

The Daily Beast, BBC and TMZ have shown video footage, matching the original video, from different aspects, saying the elderly man has survived and is conscious.  The Ukrainians stepped up and worked to save the man from his collapsed car.

Father God,
We ask You for Peace for Ukraine.
For the full recovery of this elderly man run over by a Russian tank.
Miraculously alive. Fully helped by those committed to stay
and fight for his life on war torn streets.

Thank You for Hope,
in Jesus Christ.
Amen.




Lord Jesus is willing - help us to be willing. In His precious name. Amen.


Adoptions

Clearly, the USA has adopted the Ukraine Struggle
and has held Ukraine in their heart.

Just as the UK and France have done this as well.
This outpouring of care was also seen, nation for nation,
when Notre Dame burned in Paris.

Our country, has more adoptions per 100 births than any other country on earth. People want to love children. God tells us in the Gospel - this is a good and godly aspect.

When we say that marriage does matter. Loyalty and vows. Covenant is rare, but marriage is covenant. You are rarely asked in Church to stand up and vow your life before God. We put the interests of our Word and Promise to God as something needed. That is important! This is very basic structure to our framework of our existence as a People. People who need God.

We need to make sure we are the generation that doesn't shrug away what the Word of God says. Even as we understand that the Law of Jesus is Spirit to worship in our heart knowing what He says is Love. The Spirit of God is for Peace. The Spirit of God makes a Path to bring forward the way He gave each of us with His Plan and Gifts.

God Loves Billy Graham. He has seen the last Chapter and knew it was going to turn out ok. 

Let's turn out ok, ourselves, and bring this chapter to a Higher Path for Him. 

Love is going to be a peacemaker and a blessing for those who call upon Jesus, believe in their hearts and profess with their mouths. Jesus will be our righteousness. Jesus help us take our lives and others to a Higher Path.






What are the Facts of USA Adoptions?

The Census recently made this far more clear.

International Adoptions are dramatically down, due to barriers of expense and new laws.
4% only of unwed Mothers put babies up for adoption.

So, Adoption is Ruined Now?
No, Adoptions is pervasive today in the USA.


How many Americans have adopted a child?

One out of every 25 U.S. families with children have an adopted child. According to the U.S. Census, about half of these have both biological and adopted children.  Although no more than 2% of Americans have actually adopted, more than 1/3 have considered it.  2% is one in 25 families.

Around 7 million Americans are adopted

How many children in American are adopted?
1 out of 50 children.

There are about 1.5 million adopted children in the United States, which is 2% of the population, or 1 out of 50 children.

How many children are adopted each year?
Around 140,000 children are adopted by American families each year.

How common is adoption?
Nearly 100 million Americans have adoption in their immediate family, whether this includes adopting, placing, or being adopted.

6 in 10 Americans have had personal experience with adoption, meaning that they themselves, a family member, or a close friend was adopted, had adopted a child, or had placed a child for adoption.

What is the average age of an adopted child in a private adoption?
62% were placed with their adoptive families within a month of birth.

How many children are adopted per year?
About 135,000 children are adopted in the United States each year. Of non-stepparent adoptions, about 59% are from the child welfare (or foster) system, 26% are from other countries, and 15% are voluntarily relinquished American babies.

How many people are waiting to adopt a child?
There are no national statistics on how many people are waiting to adopt, but experts estimate it is somewhere between one and two million couples. Every year, there are about 1.3 million abortions. Only 4% of women with unwanted pregnancies place their children through adoption.

What is the most adopted race?
Thirty-seven percent of adopted children are non-Hispanic white, compared with adoptive parents, 73% of which are non-Hispanic white. Overall, 40% of adopted children are of a different race, culture, or ethnicity than both of their adoptive parents (or their sole parent if there is only one parent in the household).

How many children are available for adoption in the United States?
There are 107,918 foster children eligible for and waiting to be adopted. In 2014, 50,644 foster kids were adopted — a number that has stayed roughly consistent for the past five years. The average age of a waiting child is 7.7 years old and 29% of them will spend at least three years in foster care.

My Grandmother Anita adopted my uncle Jimmy. This would have been 1929 when adoption was considered to be as terrible as (whisper the word, cancer). The entire family was not supportive of the adoption due to the fact Jimmy was special needs. He was probably Fragile X Syndrome and cried for a long time. 

Jimmy went out into the world and as he aged, he was not so employable. He returned home to live with my Grandmother Anita at age 40 or so. And when he returned, he enabled my grandmother to live at home until she was almost 90 years of age.  Jimmy wasn't so fond of Christian people, probably due to societies' views of adoption and the fact Jimmy was loud, opinionated and special needs. My grandmother said she would always pray for her son. And at age 70, Anita must have danced in Heaven as Jimmy accepted Jesus after reading, "Purpose Driven Life." Jimmy changed vastly. He no longer hummed with anger. Adoption isn't always easy, it's just tremendously worthwhile.

Grandmother Anita had so many good qualities, but the most rewarding part of her life, would be Jimmy.  Grandmother saved Jimmy, and Jimmy ended up saving Grandmother. One didn't benefit more than the other. 

Jimmy wasn't an infant adoption, he was adopted when he was closer to 4 years old. He was an adoption reject from the first adoption. And this is when we would think about Foster Adoptions. Grandmother was just as in love with Jimmy as she was with her one biological child, my mother.  An infant isn't needed to become part of the family as a biological child.


If we are going to adopt
Love for Ukraine
and pray for people far away with such care
we could go 
even
further
and provide homes
for Foster Children.

Deuteronomy 10:12


And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul

Amos 5:15
Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

Hebrews 13:18
Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

1 Peter 3:21
And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Romans 13:8
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.




Abba, Father,

How do we pray with such joy and expectation?

Jesus told us to Pray and always have Hope.

Jesus said for us to pray so big,
we pray for more Heaven on earth.
That's a good prayer request.
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.

Father, dwell in us, please help us to found Joyful to You.
Help us to seek You first every day.
We will finish well in Jesus Christ
and see this for the people we love.

Bless those I love and the People You've given me
Bless us to Enlarge the Tent with Love
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
 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.


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.

The Bible is being Incredibly Read These Years
Have All Hope.
Lift again tired dog path knees and straighten again

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.


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.

Psalm 33:15 ~ remake hearts





Pray BIG

Start again


Yep Pray BIG



The Birds Recovered in 2021!!!!!

Hope for the Best
Prepare for the Worst
and Settle for in between.

God does more than That!




Daniel 1:9

Daniel is Rescued!

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




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!




Catherine the Great planned great things for the serf's of Russia. And although many of her plans came to be accomplished. The Russian oligarchy did not reach as high as Catherine did. They gave her sanctions. Ivan the Terrible had plans for Russia and amassed great land, the first ruler of all of Russia. His life wasn't so grand. He lived somewhat like Herod the Great. 

Perhaps we will have great sanctions and a more meaningful life for Russia and Ukraine. Just maybe people will again make more sense.

The BBC interviewed people in Moscow today and found the people were brave to declare this isn't a war they want. And feel oppressed and sad for the young Russian men pressed into the army and the frightened people of Ukraine. 

The world sees Putin has Russians, unhappy, not satisfied with his leadership as he strives for war.

The Ukraine people are lining the subways to find shelter. Waking to bombs early in the morning.

The Pandemic has been hard on the youth and the elderly











Putin has another problem, Poland has opened the borders. It's hard to capture people and force your will on them when they flee to the next country, who bravely understand Oppression.

We need more than great sanctions, we will need the world to not accept the sale of Russian oil. 

Historically Pandemics are a time when mankind finds a better way to make life meaningful, potentially this Pandemic will create the end of despots without world war. Putin wants more land and people for Russia to go forth.   Shared values are wonderful, having values shoved down on top of lives isn't freedom.





Psalm 33:15


 He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. 
The Maker of hearts also knows how to remake hearts.

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

Bless us all to Finish Well.

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. <><
