Good Afternoon!
S - giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
O - I like how it says "the inheritance of the saints in Light." Doesn't that just sound wonderful! To live in the bright light of Heaven with Jesus surrounded by streets of gold. That's more than enough to be thankful for!
A - Being thankful puts things in perspective. Since last night I have had 4 friends, all around my age, deal with major health problems and one lose a parent. It's not easy stuff. My heart is very heavy for all 4 of them.
I have also had a retarded day at work. You know those days when everything you touch messes up? I'm having one of those today. Closings aren't happening. Overnight mail is not getting delivered. Invoice numbers aren't matching up. Just frustrating! Then I think about my 4 friends dealing with sooooo much more than office details and I'm put in my place very quickly. Heaven is enough. Knowing we get to spend eternity with Jesus is all I need.
P - I ask that y'all pray for my 4 friends. Sarah is fighting cancer (she is in her mid 30's), Lynette is having kidney failure and not walking down the right path (she is 35), Nancy is having surgery next week to remove a mass above her stomach (she is 34), and Jason just lost his mom in a car accident (he is 29).
Lord, I thank You for the promise of Heaven, and I pray you wrap Your arms around Sarah, Lynette, Nancy, and Jason that Your goodness would be ever present to them right now.
Praying for your friends. THings like that are happening all around us too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will definitely pray that your retardedness at work ceases!
