Mothers Day Tea

 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling. — Ephesians 4:6

Yesterday Abby took me to the Westgate for an early Mother's Day high tea.

We enjoyed champagne along with finger sandwiches, scones, and desserts.

Plus lots of tea and clotted cream!

A very fun afternoon.

We reminisced about when we had been there last for tea, years ago.

At that time we went with my mom, Kirk,'s mom, Abby's cousin and my sister-in-law Liz.

That was a fun day, too.

Do glad my daughter remembered and suggested we do it again in 2021!

Prepare the Way for the Lord

 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'" — Luke 3:4-5

Isaiah's words of so long ago foretold of Jesus' birth.

John told his followers that Jesus would be coming.

John was sent to prepare the way.

He knew that Jesus was the Savior that He proclaimed.

We know that Jesus is our Savior, too.

 

 

Praying for You

We constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. — 2 Thessalonians 1:11

In Scripture, Paul reminds me to pray continually.

I ask God to help me do that more and more.

I also try to pray regularly for my friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, and people I encounter during the day.

Our pastor Jerry needs healing. So do many others.

My coworkers need encouragement.

The Rogers family needs comfort in the loss of Gary.

And when we remember our times with him, we think of Rita, too.

My sister-in-law Miki needs comfort and healing in the loss of her mom and dad.

My friend Dave lost his dad this year.

So did the Pulliam and McSwain families and many others.

Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and answering them.

Give us wisdom, fill us with your power that you may fulfill every good purpose of yours through us.

In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
