completing tasks

I have finally finished one of my projects I have been working on. It really feels good now, knowing that the only thing left is taking it to the printer to bind...Praise the Lord! I pray those who read it will be encouraged.

no retirees in God's kingdom

I don't know how many times I have said I'm retired when someone asks me do you work? I thought I was giving the right answer until I searched out the word retirement and found that Moses, Caleb and Joshua were all in their 80s when they were called, in the New Testament, Ana spent her days in the Temple fasting and praying for the Salvation of Israel...So, in my quest to enjoy retirement and then found out there is no such thing in the Kingdom of the Lord, I will simply answer anyone who asks, I CHANGED JOBS! My Boss is the Best in the Universe.

requirements to being used of God

oh, you mean there are requirements? Acts 6 lays it out real good. No matter how menial the task, be a person filled with wisdom and the spirit of God. Both of those qualifications are obtained from loving God's Word and loving fellowship with God all the time. Blessed day to you.

what really counts

"only what we do for Jesus will count". I am rethinking this little statement right now, to me whatever we do here on earth should be done unto the Lord. The Bible said love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind & strength and love our neighbors as ourselves, so if I am in the ministry or not and I am always trying to be the boss or always trying to show that I have authority at the expense of another person, then I really question what I am doing for Jesus, will it count at all?

ordained moment?

it was a beautiful afternoon in our neighborhood, I had taken a nap and when I awoke, I decided to go for a 20 minute walk. I took my car and went to the closest park to my house, park the car there and went for my walk. The sun was a bit warm but the southern breezes were blowing and starting to cool things down. I walked around the perimeter of the park for awhile then I came back to where my car was parking. I saw a table and a bench and it looked so nice I made a beeline for it, and sat down and just watched people walking, riding bikes and waiting for da bus. While I was sitting there, I started talking to the Lord about our neighborhood, our church as well as our school and all it's extensions at their respective locations around the world. It was so nice talking to the Father at that time. I like to think that I might have not planned it but my Father in heaven ordained it.

vision

do you have one? If you have one, that's good. If you don't have one then you need to ask God to give you one. Right now, I am doing a reassessment of my vision. One servant of God said, a person's vision has to be something that will impact other people's lives, it must be something that will live on, even when you are gone from this earth. I was watching a movie called "the diary of Anne Frank," and I was amazed at how this little girl's diary lived on for many generations. The entries in her journal gave me a picture of how she had a vision for herself, she was an optimist, always hoping for a better time and better things, sadly her life ended before she saw any of that happened, but, years later in a different time when her diary was found and given to her father who survived the holocaust, it caused such a stir in the hearts of many around the world.

so, in reassessing mine, I find out that I actually need to ask the Spirit of God to help me fine tune my vision according to God's purposes for my life. a hui ho

It's a new day!

God made it and he said, It's Good!...
