GOD’S LOVE IS OUR—THIS—GIVEN TO US BY A MOST HOLY & ALMIGHTY GOD! 

“By this the love of God”—-God is Love—To the Top & To the Bottom, To the East & To the West—Never-Ending!!!!!!!
Yesterday was a most beautiful day.  Early today, the question came to me, “How was the funeral?”

The Answer most glorious!!!!
God’s love compelled my sisters and me to plan a funeral lunch for the family who had lost their “mama.” A wife, a daughter, a friend, & God’s child who suffered through her kidney complications and Covid-19.

The Love of God was so apparent as the family grieved and looked into the future, looking to the one who was left behind—the papa, the dad, the cousin, the friend, & the husband.

God Is So Good—-All the time!!!!!

How was the funeral?
The glorious answer:  Most Amazingly Beautiful & Wonderful & Glorious & Heaven-Orchestrated, & Heaven-Sent, and Amazing!!!!!
Yesterday was a day for shouting—“Thank YOU, JESUS!”
“Thank YOU—JESUS— for coming to earth to provide us Salvation.  We cannot ever express with our words the thankfulness we feel for your amazing gift of sending Your Son to come as a babe, to live as a mortal, to die upon the cross, to raise to new life, and to provide for us—Mere Mortals—SALVATION!
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
THANK.
YOU.
JESUS!!!

“How was the funeral?” Such a simple question asked, but what a powerful ANSWER!!!!

In the Old Testament, God spoke to His prophet Isaiah, encouraging Isaiah to write these words of praise.

The psalmist wrote in his 104 psalm—104th—That means there were 103 previous psalms before this 104th!!!

In all that we do, may we point to Jesus.
In all that we speak, may we point to Jesus.
In all that we suffer through, may we point to Jesus.
In our ALL—May We Point To The Savior!
In our every THIS!!!

Jesus was present yesterday, walking with me through the steroid injection, even as I laid facedown upon the table, still I could speak with the doctor and his staff of God’s amazing provision of healing.
Jesus was present yesterday, as my sister and brother-in-law moved into their earthly possession, into their new home.
Jesus was present yesterday, as my family and I attended the funeral of a most beautiful child of God.
Jesus was present yesterday, as we loved on Mike & Robert & Vicki & Mia & Anna—the immediate family.
Jesus was present yesterday at the gravesite as the husband who was once lost displayed through his words how he was now found, how he was a believer as he prepared to bury his wife of 40+ years, as he spoke of his need for baptism, as his granddaughter made plans to bring her papa to church on Sunday, as a church-family was able to minister to the family, and as the family was shown the love of Almighty God!!!!

Thank You, Jesus, for Your Most Precious Gift of Salvation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then late last night, as I sat in my sister’s new home, a text came to my phone, a message with a mother’s exclamation of praise,  “Nancy, my little Hank was saved today; my husband and I were able to pray with him to lead him to God’s salvation.”

Oh my goodness!!!

Thank You, Jesus!!!!!!!!!
Oh, Thank You, Jesus, for a piece of paper, a tiny pamphlet passed out during a simple Christmas parade, for a child raised in a God-Centered home, for Your Saving Grace, for a little boy who said to his parents, “Since the Christmas parade, I’ve been thinking about that I needed to be saved.”
We misplace items that are replaceable, but things that are lost, the irreplaceable people and most precious items—These are the things that Must be Found. Now THIS whole family of four belongs to You and are now found!!!

Thank You, Jesus, for sending Your Only Son to provide a way for us, mere humans, to be found!

Thank You, Jesus, for saving a woman, a mom, a mama, a wife, a sister, a friend—a daughter of the KING of KINGS!!!!!!

Thank You, Jesus—GOD’S LOVE—OUR THIS—GIVEN TO US BY A MOST HOLY, ALMIGHTY GOD! 

Let all that we do and speak today point to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World!!!!!
