Sunday Blessings

What a beautiful day as it is filled with sunshine a slight breeze and warm weather. Of course warm is relative…after all I am in Phoenix and the low 100’s is a warm day to those living here and unbelievably hot for those of us who live in other parts of the country. As I prepare to travel home after the most amazing time with my Son and his family (cutest and most talented children) I thank the Lord for the blessings of travel time and opportunities to spend with my family. It is always sweet sorrow to part but taking the memories of such a fun time playing, painting and watching some movies not to mention being beaten again at Kung Fu Panda I will delight in my thoughts as I drive home. As I contemplate my visit it makes me wonder if we spend enough time with our Lord and do we do it with the exuberance and excitement of a child’s heart? We can all make excuses from busy schedules to not enough time; however we have time while getting out of bed, in the shower, or setting aside quiet time with prayer or Bible study. What memories we would be able to make being in one with God and Jesus Christ. So as we go about our day,this day of the Lord, let us give praise and prayer to our Savior. Let’s make memories that will give us courage to step out of the box and challenge ourselves. We can build a strong foundation that will allow us to go for the dream. We are blessed with the promise of love and care however it is up to us to reach out and take the hand of Jesus. Enjoy the day and remember to say “thank you” for the opportunities given. Psalm 136:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Be cheerful and rejoice in the Lord’s Day while you make memories with God and Jesus Christ.
