wow

Leaving tomorrow to see my oldest graduate from college, Thursday...my second is giving her testimony in church on the same night...two awesome milestones... I am very proud of them both...Thank you, Lord, for Your Grace....such a big word, such significance in that one word... Grace...:) Be blessed this Memorial Weekend!!!!!

This was the reading in the NT for today!!!! God knows I need to sleep!!! :)

²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[a]?

²⁸"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Happy New Year!

I have not posted in awhile... but I love to read the other blogs out there... Time has not permitted and sleep deprivation has made me a bit slow to think clearly... Night time help is here again.. I am praying I can continue with my night time caregiver the four nights I have him, but may need to cut back to two or three nights a week instead...

My devotion this morning was especially relevant to me today...Here is the verse.

Romans 8:28-34 (New American Standard Bible)

28And we know that ^[a]God causes ^(A)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are ^(B)called according to His purpose.

29For those whom He ^(C)foreknew, He also ^(D)predestined to become ^(E)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the ^(F)firstborn among many brethren;

30and these whom He ^(G)predestined, He also ^(H)called; and these whom He called, He also ^(I)justified; and these whom He justified, He also ^(J)glorified.

31^(K)What then shall we say to these things? ^(L)If God is for us, who is against us?

32He who ^(M)did not spare His own Son, but ^(N)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

33Who will bring a charge against ^(O)God's elect? ^(P)God is the one who justifies;

34who is the one who ^(Q)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who ^(R)died, yes, rather who was ^[b](S)raised, who is ^(T)at the right hand of God, who also ^(U)intercedes for us.

It also took me to a portion of Biblegateway that helps you to read the Bible in a year. I didn't really have a resolution, except for the usual, eat healthier, exercise regularly, etc. So I think that will be my resolution.

Do you have a resolution for the New Year?

Blessings!!!! TJ
