Shielding the one you love
Deuteronomy 33 New International Version
Moses Blesses the Tribes
33 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelite’s before his death. 2 He said:
“The Lord came from Sinai
and dawned over them from Seir;
he shone forth from Mount Paran.
He came with[a] myriads of holy ones
from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
3 Surely it is you who love the people;
all the holy ones are in your hand.
At your feet they all bow down,
and from you receive instruction,
4 the law that Moses gave us,
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 He was king over Jeshurun[c]
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
6 “Let Reuben live and not die,
nor[d] his people be few.”
7 And this he said about Judah:
“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”
8 About Levi he said:
“Your Thummim and Urim belong
to your faithful servant.
You tested him at Massah;
you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.
9 He said of his father and mother,
‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognise his brothers
or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
and guarded your covenant.
10 He teaches your precepts to Jacob
and your law to Israel.
He offers incense before you
and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
and be pleased with the work of his hands.
Strike down those who rise against him,
his foes till they rise no more.”
12 About Benjamin he said:
“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,
for he shields him all day long,
and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.”
Treasures in Heaven
Mark 10 New International Version
The Rich and the Kingdom of God
17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honour your father and mother.’[d]”
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s…

Giving our all for the Lord
Romans 12:1-2 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
This video is a beautiful devotional Song sung by Jane Brill, Sue Johnson and Kayte Harding-Chestney all about time and talents and laying them on the alter.
We all have different talents some musical, others working with the elderly or disabled. Some of us have the talent to work with the homeless or down and outs.
It takes all sorts, there are even some people who wish to do these things will say when asked why they do it?…

All God’s people
Ephesians 2 New International Version
Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16

Charles Swindoll Quote
Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link. But take one link and the chain is broken. We need each other. You need someone and someone needs you. Isolated islands, we’re not.
From Colossians 1:9: “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,”
Bold Journey
From 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.”
Showing gratitude, filled with praise
Daily worship focuses mind
Setting aside time for prayer
Bold journey’s mercy, never blind
Sharing devout faith with others
Treasured gift from Holy God’s hands
Serving with kindness, filled with joy
Bold journey follows His commands
Witnessing morning, Lord alive!
Death abolished, new life begins
Revealing eternity’s road
Bold journey sheds dark life of sin
Dying with Christ, now born again
Redemption drinks from blessed well
Enduring faithfulness shines bright
Bold journey freed from chains of hell
Teaching others from Lord’s Gospel
Strength received from His daily grace
Suffering shared, soldiers of Christ
Bold journey meets in Heaven’s place
From 2 Timothy…

Truthful Tuesday mistaken?
Have you ever been mistaken for somebody else?
The short answer? No!
I guess I don’t have any look alikes in the world.
I’ve never been mistaken for someone else.
Now, my PA Frances is always mistaken for another PA named Katie.
People come up to her and they say, hi, Katie!
Its kinda funny actually.
If I was mistaken for someone else, I’d be very shocked.
I think though, that if I was mistaken for someone else, I’d just be polite and engage with the person who was mistaking me.

Missing sweet Nitro!
I miss the pitter patter
Of Nitro’s paws
On my hard wood floor
I miss him snuggling up to me
Putting his head in my lap
I miss his high fives
I miss his licks
He always knew just when I needed to be cheered up
I miss his presence in my life
And I miss having a dog
But I don’t want just any dog
The right dog will come along for me I know
At some point
But for now
I remember fondly
Everything about Nitro.
