God Has Spoken to Us by His Son

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. — Hebrews 1:1-2

We had such a fun weekend with friends visiting wineries and meeting the families running them.

Here we are at Barr Winery.

A great recommendation, and a beautiful day.

We are so thankful to God for blessing us with this time.

But of course, His best gift is His Son, our Savior Jesus.

God has spoken to us through Jesus.

Whom God appointed to be heir of all things.

And through Jesus God also made the universe.

We Are Temporary Residents

For we are strangers before You, and temporary residents, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope. — 1 Chronicles 29:15

We are strangers before God.

Our days on earth are as a fleeting shadow.

God's plans for us are much greater than we could ever imagine.

Here's the brisket Kirk smoked with Oak.

It was delicious.

But it is simply a brief part of our even briefer life here on earth.

We are temporary residents here.

Just as our forefathers were.

And we are thankful that God has prepared an even better place for us in heaven.

All glory to our Father God.

 

God Spoke

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. — Hebrews 1:1-2

God speaks to us through His Word in Scripture.

 

And through His prophets.

 

And even in His creation.

He speaks to us through His Son, Jesus.

God appointed Him heir of all things.

Our God, the Trinity, made the universe.

A Beautiful New Day

And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years. — Genesis 1:14

Today is another beautiful day.

The sun is shining and the birds are singing their hearts out.

A couple of monarch butterflies just flew by our window, circling our yard.

God has given us the sun and moon, day and night.

I thank Him every day for letting me live in such a beautiful place.

On Friday I'll have a zoom appointment with a lymphedema therapist to help me massage the areas of my arm and chest that are still affected with edema and a bit swollen.

I got carried away with my weed pulling, taking out some ice plant on our bank and overdid the pulling with my left arm.

I completely forgot to wear the compression sleeve that I had been wearing to the YMCA for my workouts.

Fortunately, it's gone down a lot and is no longer uncomfortable.

So I've stopped jumping rope for now - walking 2-3 miles around the neighborhood instead.

God is great and has blessed me.

I am grateful.
