How was your Mother’s Day? Mine was wonderful!
May has been a busy month so far! I was blessed to attend the Home With A Heart Revival 9 nights! Anointed singing, dynamic preaching… We Had Church! I am refreshed and revived!
The guys at Home With A Heart have a saying… “So, What’s Really Going On?” While driving home from work yesterday, I took a few minutes and pondered the thought… I want to share my brainstorm results with you…
In our busy lives, we acknowledge friends, co-workers and acquaintances, but do we pause long enough to listen to their reply? Are we in such a hurry that we speak out of habit; and then without listening to their response, we move on to our next task? I know I’m guilty! If you walked into your child’s room and looked them in the eyes and asked “So, What’s really going on in your life?”, how would he or she respond? You might be surprised! So, I have a new goal: at least once a day, I want to stop and ask someone… “So, What’s Really Going On?” and then I am going to take the time to LISTEN to their response! I’ll let you know how it goes!
On the home front…
Samantha left today. I miss her already! Please pray for her and her family as they adjust to their new routines. Savannah is scheduled for her 4K screening on May 28th! She’s excited! She can’t wait to go to school with JJ!!! JJ’s last day of 4K is next Friday! He is going to Summer Camp! He can’t wait! Michael Isaiah, our ”Little Tornado”, is 20 months old and into everything! Happy 67th Birthday Daddy!
In closing, I would like to leave you with these lyrics:
It would seem like an ocean to me
And if my heart were a window that you could see through
All the pain and scars you would see
But, tears will never stain the streets of that city
No wreaths of death on my mansion door
Teardrops aren’t welcome beyond the gates of glory
Cause the heart will never break anymore
I’ve never looked into eyes without pain.
But there’s a land where grief is a stranger:
And songs of joy are the only songs they sing
I have questioned the loss of a loved one.
For the grave it seems so final and cold.
But we’ll meet again where death has no victory:
In a land where we’ll never grow old.
And tears will never stain the streets of that city
No wreaths of death on my mansion door
Teardrops aren’t welcome beyond the gates of glory
Cause the heart will never break anymore
I pray you have a blessed week!
Revelations 7:13-17 – “Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes – who are they, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of great tribulation, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore “They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in the temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center before the throne will be their shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes’.”
