April 7

Greetings God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. those
who mourn are people burdened down with great sorrow. That
sorrow can be from sin or death or great suffering. The daily
news speaks of suffering throughout the world as well as people
close to us and causes us to look for a source of solace. And that
is found in the God of all comfort.
(Howard Waldrip-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his
people with peace. Psalm 29:11

There is a fairly new song we sing at church... "Blessed Be Your Name"
"Every blessing you pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be your name.
*********************
It is easer to sing it, than to live it. But the choice is ours!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

April 6

Greetings God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
James Smithson died in 1829. He was an obscure scientist that few
knew anything about, but he gifted the U.S.A. with 500,000 to found
the Smithsonian Institution. We may not know much about him, but we
do know of his deeds. Many in the world do not know anymore about
Jesus then they do about James Smithson. In this month of the celebration
of Easter, give thanks and make known His Wonderful deeds.
(Vantage Point Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:
Give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his wonderful
deeds among the people. 1 Chronicles 16:8

There is an old gospel song ... "Will Not Tell It Today?" and what better day to tell
of His wonderful deeds?

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

April 5

Greetings: God bless you this day!
Today is our youngest grandson, Jeremy Walker's wedding day.
He and Leah  White will be married today in Memphis, TN.
Sadly we can't be there, but our heart is with them and we "hope"
they have a long and happy life together,

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Do you need hope today? Pick up God's Word and ask Him to show
you His hope for your situation.  Regardless of where you are, He already
knows everything about it. Our affliction is but a moment compared to
eternal glory that awaits those who are in Christ.
(Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:
Be of good courage. and he shall strengthen your heart. All you who hope
in the Lord. Psalm 21:34

Without hope we are lost, but with hope we can endure all things!

April 4

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
We can protect ourselves from error and deception by knowing the
false and relying on the truth, found in Jesus Christ.
(Marvin Williams)

SCRIPTURE:
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel
other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned.
Galatians 1:8

And the best way to protect ourselves from false teaching... know the Word!

April 3

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Ephesians 6: reminds us that our battles are against powers of
darkness and against spiritual hosts of wickedness. These indeed
are mighty foes. While these are powerful enemies, we are more
than conquers through Him who loves us. (Bill Crowder)

SCRIPTURE:
In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved
us. Romans 8:37

Powerful words and powerful Scripture, but when we see our security
slip through our fingers, words do not seem to help much... that's why
God gave us each other... you can be the "security blanket," for someone
today!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

April 2

Greetings: God bless you this day

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
With the speed of modern transportation it's possible to have breakfast
in New York and lunch in L.A. Modern travelers may go farther and
faster than ever before, but the need of God's constant care remains the
same.  God watches over His people wherever they are.
(Howard White- Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
If I ride on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even
there your hand will guide me your right hand will hold me fast.
Psalm 139:9-10 

Christians are sojourners in this land, travelers, traveling a road that leads home
and God is our guide... let him lead you around the pitfalls on the way!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
God has spoken: Prophecy was fulfilled! Jesus died for our sins,
according to the Scriptures. Who but God, could know and tell
these things. (Harold Simmons-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
For what I received, I passed on to you as of first importance:
that Christ died for our sins. 1 Corinthians 15:3

And through the Scriptures, He still speaks. The rainbow and the cross
are symbols that God keeps His promises!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
