The best life is a God First life

Carried by the Angels

Many people have been separated from loved ones in care facilities because of Covid-19, powerless to be with their loved ones during those final moments on earth; this saddens me. I empathize with the hurt and pain of their hearts as they wanted to be with their loved ones. So, I leave you this thought in hopes that you will find comfort in it, as I do.

Our family was not physically with my dad when his soul departed his failing body and mind on that trip to Paradise back In Nov 2019; Although we were not physically with him when he passed that morning, I’m confident dad was not alone. I believe angels of God carried his soul to Paradise just as they did Lazarus in the illustration story that Jesus told of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:22).  Jesus said: “The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.”…

Dad was a Christian. He lived the life of a Christian, so we look forward to that day when we see each other again apart from physical bodies and mind and get to spend eternity together.

God First!

Smiling with our Eyes

When I go to the store, the post office, gas station, I see people and say hello to strangers. Sometimes I nod or wave to acknowledging their presence.
 
In a mask or not, we can still be courteous and greet others with smiles in our eyes and comfort from our words of kindness.
 
By sharing the joy in our hearts, we encourage others to share the joy in theirs.
 
God First!
 

Stepped on Toes, be grateful!

If the words from the pulpit step on our toes, be grateful. If the words from the pulpit never step on our toes, be concerned.

God’s word can ’take us by the ear’ and guide us to better ourselves, or; it can be used to ”tickle our ears.” None of us are perfect, so; rather than take offense when lessons strike at our core, why not embrace their intent to encourage us?

To encourage our self-examination and compare our decisions to the expectations of God that are found in Scripture.

God’s way is the healthy way!

A Christ-like life is where we find mental calm and the comfort of God. (2 Cor. 1:3) It’s how we can have peace in the midst of chaos and Joy in the midst of pain.

God offers us peace that surpasses all understanding. With God, we can be certain every word is true, and we can rely on every promise.

All things are possible with God, and every person has the opportunity to be forgiven. Our souls will live for eternity somewhere; our choices today decide where.

“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.”

3 John‬ ‭1:2‬‬‬

God First!
