HOPE
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. Lamentations 3:21
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. – Lamentations 3:24
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: – Job 19:25
Where would we be without hope?
Most of all without the hope of Jesus Christ and the hope of spending eternity in heaven? Forever lost
Why live each day without that hope when it is one prayer away?
Jesus came to die for you, for your sins, so that you can have hope!
It’s as simple as ABC!
Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, come into your heart and take you to heaven when you die.
Believe that Jesus died on the cross, rose again on the third day and lives in heaven making intercession for you & me.
Confess that Jesus is Lord of your life and tell what He has done for you!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. – 1 Peter 1:3-9

Thanksgiving….
Yes! Thanksgiving in May! Thanksgiving today, Thanksgiving tomorrow, Thanksgiving all the time!!!
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the Lord is upright: He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. – Psalm 92:1-2,12-15
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. – Psalm 100:1-5

Temperance
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. – Proverbs 25:28
The Bible defines temperance as emotional restraint or SELF control. Temperance can also be moderation in thought, words, or actions.
I don’t want to give the enemy a foothold in my life by letting him continually stir up anger, strife or frustration in my life!!! God has been far too good to me to be walking with an angry spirit or spirit of discontentment!!!

His Works, His Thoughts, His Ways
I am reminded as we walk this journey called life that His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. As I look around at His Amazing works of Creation I am ever so gently reminded How Great is Our God!!!
Truly… HOW GREAT THOU ART
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. Ecclesiastes 11:5
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. – Isaiah 55:6-12

A Mother’s Love…
A Mother’s love…
“A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.” — …
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. – Proverbs 31:10-30

Sing!!!
“Don’t let the song go out of your life”
Quote from "Streams in the Desert" by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman"
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. – Psalm 32:7-10

To Seek & To Save
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. – Luke 19:10
And He spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. – Luke 15:3-10

Stand Firm
No matter how bleak the situation looks to you… God’s perspective is very different And MUCH, MUCH HIGHER!!! Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession Hebrews 4:14
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23
“God never promises to remove us from our struggles. He does promise, however, to change the way we look at them.” Max Lucado
“Why is it I think I must be doing something right now instead of looking to the Lord? He will not only do something—He will do everything!” From Streams in the Desert by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

What A Promise…
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
I and my Father are one. – John 10:27-30
Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
Once we belong to Jesus, we are His for all eternity…forever & ever Amen ❤

The Life…
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. – John 11:25-27
