Be Thankful

 "Live in the moments of today for tomorrow holds no guarantee."

    A Simple Phrase

Have you ever taken this one to heart?

       I believe that a majority in this world whether they are Christians or Non-Christians ever really do. My thoughts are that this phrase should encompass the idea of being thankful. I will lay out some of my thankful thoughts and after I have I would hope you would share some of yours in the comments section.

    The first thought I am mindful of is my salvation. I am incredibly great full for the movement of the Holy Spirit in my heart over fifty years ago and his bringing me to a somewhat mature stage in my life today.

    The moments of silence in the morning is one gift that I treasure so much. It is a time for meeting with God, my Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I talk with them and express my heart. I pray for my family, friends, and others that come to mind.

    Another is recognizing the importance of the simple phrase up above. The moments of today pass very quickly so make sure that you truly live in them.

    There is so much to be thankful for but I would really like to hear from others that are out there.

        Love Peter

    I also have treasured the moments early mornings now that I’m older( 64)… to meditate on scripture, be still… listen and converse with Him. Wish I knew the significance of such joy in Christ when I was younger. But I’m grateful for now, and maturity takes years, which still I’ve not fully achieved! Blessings

      Yes, this has taken me a long time but it takes those years to help us appreciate these days one day at a time for tomorrow holds no guarantee.

Come Back To Jesus, Your First Love

      So, it has been my intent to start this blog for quite a while now, but I have been dragging my feet. I believe that it has been mostly out of fear. However, I know that our Father is love and perfect love casts out fear. I want to be an encouragement to those who will be reading as well as desiring your encouragement too. So, I will be courageous and move forward trusting in the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.     First, I wanted to describe my first love of Jesus in the beginning. I wasn't "On Fire" as some have said, or others saying, "I know the exact date I was born again!" Mine was a simple, childlike, and trusting faith yet, I felt distant from God. However, I believe that everyone's journey of coming to know Jesus is unique.     I have believed in Jesus for over fifty years now, and the honest truth is that I have struggled with ups and downs in the doubts department (saved/not saved, loved/not loved by the Father, etc....

Come Back To Jesus, Your First Love Part 2

               So, we are back on the road again exploring what it means to make Jesus our first love. I remember that we love because Jesus loved us enough to die for us on the cross. I know that the Holy Spirit lives in me. I'm so trying to understand more and more. I am not trying to make excuses. I am what I am. I am looking for help and understanding from other believers who might shed some light about coming back to our first love.     In this journey of life (I am now seventy years old), it has been a growing process of learning how to love God, our Father as well as Jesus the Son for I had a distant type of relationship with my earthly father. However, now, after many years reading the Bible, prayer, reflection, etc.., I am changing and seeking how to come to Jesus and love him more.       My Simple Prayer: Help me Jesus to treasure you more, to value you more, help me love you more.  Until...
