This verse is a blessing for all the fathers who follow the Lord! God does bless families and the father in your family has an important role as head of household.My we honor our father’s with special love this weekend.
Many who do not have a father in our lives remember that we do have a Heavenly Father who loves us with an everlasting love. He is always with us and we can always count on Him.
SOS Events Team in Florida will miss our friend, Beverly, who went home to be with the Lord last week.
Beverly was a faithful friend who rarely missed the opportunity to fellowship and work with the Senior Servant who gather every month to get out the “Life Saver News”, the SOS Events monthly newsletter.
She is missed but the one thing we who are saved look forward to is knowing that we will meet again one day.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalms 115:16
Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan. He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad. “In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own. “Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.
Memorial Day weekend we honor our brave military veterans and active men and women who serve our Country to keep us free.
But today, the Lord’s day, let us remember Jesus death, burial and resurrection. We have freedom of eternal life because of Him. We have victory over death which is ultimate freedom.
There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”.
“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do, Do not wait to shed your light afar, To the many duties ever near you now be true, Brighten the corner where you are.
Brighten the corner where you are! Brighten the corner where you are! Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar; Brighten the corner where you are!”
Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging.
