Monday

This morning in my devotionals I was reading 1st John. And it was talking about loving God. And how do we know when others are from God and when they're not. One of the big things that chapter talked about was if anyone can say that Jesus came in the flesh he was from God. If anyone could not say that he was not from God.
( There is a religion that is much talked about these days that does not believe that Jesus came in the flesh)
Another thing that was mentioned in this chapter of 1st John was that if we do not love our brothers and say we love God we are a liar. I remember once as a child when I was frustrated and angry of all my brothers for something they had done and I said to myself I just hate them the one I love is God. That Sunday preacher preached on this part of first John. I knew God was talking to me and I knew that I could not continue in that way of thinking so I decided to forgive my brothers and continue on. So today I'm saying that God has given us a way of knowing whether people are from him or not: do they say that Jesus came in the flesh. If they do then they are from God if they don't then they are not. And also that we are to love our brothers who we have seen, or we cannot love God we have not seen
May God give you a blessed day.

a day in the life of God's grace

This has been a rough week for me physically. I didn't feel good and I was tired and had to go the doctor and get an antibiotic.But I have been listening to a radio show about God's grace this week. I realized that by God's grace I'm still able to do things: I can sit on my porch and enjoy the warmth and the breeze and the birds and the kids in the neighborhood. I can visit with neighbors and play cards. I'm so thankful to have a husband who loves me, loves to be with me and helps take care of me. I'm also thankful to have a family that loves me. I have talked on the phone to friends and family. God has given me so much. I'm blessed so much. I'm so thankful to God for sending his son to die on the cross that I could then be adopted as his daughter

Monday

Today is Monday I have had a great weekend. Sunday it was hard to get up. But I did make it up and I went to church. I had an amazing time with Jesus, even though it was not a good day for me physically. Then we went to her daughter's house for a big family birthday party. We were celebrating three birthdays. We had a great time visiting and talking and watching the little ones play. I love these family get-togethers, they mean so much to me. I enjoyed myself so much. But today was so hard. I hurt everywhere. but you know, God helped me to relax. So that I was able to go to on the porch and enjoy the beautiful day he gave us. Then I called my sister and we talked and talked and it really helped me to get so was focusing on my pain so much. I'm so blessed to have so many people care for me.
