Ancient Fellow-my friend
I have become enamored of a very ancient fellow. He has captured my heart. He has made my soul tremble, anew. He has presented me with didactic instruction and unlike the intimate, captivating allure of SONG OF SOLOMON, this message from my wise, elderly, prophetic herdsman and the tender of Sycamore trees, STAYS me in my tracks. He has spoken directly to me. He has checked me in my path. He speaks not like the romantic, glorious descriptions of the ‘shadow” of our Beloved Christ, as in The Song of Songs. But this man puts a mirror before me, a looking glass and I see NOT quite darkly but quite discerningly. This old fellow is , well, not scary but definitely terrifying!
Advocate EQUALS Peace
John 14:26-27 “But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative-this is, the Holy Spirit-he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. 27 “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”

SOS says “…I AM the Lily (the peace) of your valleys”
(Footnotes : 14:26 Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would help them to remember what he had been teaching them. This promise ensures the validity of the New Testament. The disciples were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ life and teachings, and the Holy Spirit helped them remember without taking away their individual perspectives.
QUOTE FOR THE DAY
“There is nothing so tragic or frightening as to be the same today as yesterday, having never learned or improved our life in one little way.”

HAPPY AM I
Matthew 5:2-10
Then He (Jesus) opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
Blessed (happy, [a]to be envied, and [b]spiritually prosperous–[c]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
Blessed and enviably happy [with a [d]happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
QUOTE FOR OUR DAY
Motherhood . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Rose Kennedy
“I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.”

Study with Sara – HOLDING HANDS and walking in stride
“I will not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” Isaiah 49:15-16 (NASB)
Have you taken your walk with God today? Did you hold His hands? Did He hold your hands? Did He speak with you? Did you speak with Him?
Did He say to you, “I will never ever forget you? Did you look and see your picture tattooed in the palm of His Hands?

Thought of the Day
“A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.” – Albert Einstein
