From Christmas to Easter to Ascension

Psalm 130:3-4 “If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.” The entire life of Jesus was to bring you and me into a close relationship with God.  We need perfection to live at the throne of God.  Jesus is that Perfection.  You and I are perfect only because of our loving Savior.  We could not possibly be more blessed.  Merry Christmas–Happy Easter–Wonderful Ascension!  

You are blessed

Psalm 128:1-2 “Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.  You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” These two verses are not wishes or psychological thoughts meant to counter depression.  These two verses are absolute truths from our Heavenly Father.  You are truly blessed and being blessed means success is yours.  Don’t look to “celebrities”  or “sports heroes”  or anyone else.  Look in the mirror and praise and thank the God who blesses you.  Never compare–always be a thankful, adopted and blessed child of your Savior.  You are blessed beyond measure. Have a great weekend.

Children

Psalm 127:3 “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.” God has blessed His faithful with many blessings.  The greatest earthly blessing He has given to parents is that of children.  That truth is especially seen when young parents have their first child.  We ought to all maintain that happiness throughout our children’s lives even when difficulties and the “growing up” times happen.  Children are a precious gift from our Heavenly Father.
