Today's Edification (23 August 2024)



Hello sisters! 


The joy of the Lord is our strength! Truly He is our only hope! I hope you're pressing on in that blessed hope! 


Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:13


That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
Psalm 78:7


For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:4


Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:13


We do not put our hope in living a good life, not in politics, not in bank accounts, not in the favour of man, not in our marriage state or whether we have children, not in how many saints we have in our life, not in good health, not in a multitude of things but may it be in the one true and living God and the glorious resurrection of Christ which gives us hope! 

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15:19-20

 

I was pondering what brother Paul said about the word of God not being bound. He was bound in prison for the gospel's sake.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2 Timothy 2:9

Perhaps we sisters too can wonder our role in the gospel but ultimately it's in His hands and His word is not bound! A large part of the world's population has access to the good news of Christ in the written Word! Praise Him for that! It is out there doing what it does as His Word doesn't go out void! God is in control. But He sure can use us to share the truth and hope of the gospel too even if we do have mostly quiet lives we just have to be ready and willing! His will be done and let us focus on pleasing Him and living the gospel ourselves and shining our lights! 


Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2 Timothy 2:7

I heard that scripture and indeed we want the Lord to give us understanding and seek it from Him and wait on Him for it! 


He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Proverbs 25:28

That is a good scripture to ponder and we know it is very important to have rule over ourselves, to be in control and not letting the flesh go. I'm sure we have seen situations where someone didn't rule their spirit and even children we can see they need a lot of help controlling their selfish desires etc. In the NT it also speaks of the same of mortifying the deads of the flesh and walking in the Spirit and not the flesh. 

And we daughters of God also get His loving chastisement to help us too so we have all we need to guide us and give us power to be more than conquerors in Christ! 


Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:8-9


Let us abide in Christ's teachings and sin no more. 

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 119:11


Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

1 Timothy 4:16

Good commands and advice here... 

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

1 Timothy 6:3-5


Let us consent to wholesome words...the words of our Lord Jesus Christ! 



Love and mercy in Him,

Hello my sisters! 


Here's a new day the Lord has given us to rejoice in! 🌤🌷🐦🌳🦋


God's mercies are new and His compassions fail not therefore we are not consumed like we deserve. God is good so let that lead us to follow closely after Him and to repentance when we need it. 

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Psalm 63:7-9


We must press on stedfastly after Him! It can't be half hearted. We cannot love the world or the things in it. 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:15-17

Let us do the will of God and abhor the lust of the flesh, the pride of life, and the lust of the eyes. This is what those living for the temporary are seeking after. But we are preparing for eternity...walking by faith after the unseen but eternal things! 


Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 20:29


While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

 

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Hebrews 11:7

 

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9




Amen, let us love one another for love is of God! There's a lot of unloving ways in this world from so called minor things like speaking roughly or coldly to someone (or not speaking at all) to actually killing them. And we know wrong thoughts can be unloving and displeasing to God too. It's all a matter of the heart. But we know we have a high calling to love all people including our enemies but especially the brethren. 

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Peter 1:22-23



Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21

Let us speak words of life, good words to those in our life or around us. Yet there's also is a place for silence no doubt and if the world wants to talk about the world and the foolish and sinful things of it we do not join in. 

Words of life reminds me of the edifying we are to do...building up, encouraging, and not destroying. There is no doubt words are very powerful. We see that in the book of James a lot too and Proverbs has a lot too. It's something we each have to master which is only truly possible with the Lord's help. But it's just one area of our life we bring into subjection to the Lord's ways. 


Let us keep pressing on sisters, no matter what! If we can, may we support each other and do this... 

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Hebrews 12:12-14

Let us prepare for the times to get even more perilous. Indeed we have seen some major changes in the last few decades capable of spreading and enabling sin like never before. Hold fast to the Lord and His truth my sisters! Keep shining as lights brightly reflecting His light, like the moon does from the sun, as the darkness grows! Be strong and stand fast! 

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
Philippians 4:1


Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2 Thessalonians 2:15


Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13

 

Love in Christ, 

His servant,

Greetings sister saints! 


We have indeed been called to be saints/holy! 


To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:7


Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1 Corinthians 1:2


But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:15-16

Obedience is not optional is it and when we have a changed heart we will love to please Him! Yes we still have the flesh to fight no doubt but we must keep up diligently with that lest it overtake us. Fight on sisters as good soldiers of His! 


I hope you're all pressing on wherever you are sisters! I hope to cheer you on here, as I know it's a dark world and few there be that find the narrow road. But if God be for us who can be against us?! Think of all the power that is on our side in our Lord! Reminds me of this scripture which I know is not the same but still there are things we don't see. 

And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

2 Kings 6:16-17

Indeed, great is our Lord! 

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 
Psalm 147:5


And greatly to be praised! 

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 
Psalm 96:4


These scriptures are good to ponder and how we need to be careful of our actions in this area... 

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James 2:12-13
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Matthew 7:2


We do not want to be hypocrites. We surely know there is a place according to the scriptures for discerning and judging but also taking into account all scriptures as we live by every word of God. We surely need His help to discern how to apply them all and we do our best! 



But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Psalm 86:15-17

Just sharing His Word as it's good as He is good! Glory to His holy name! 






Let us press on with hearts fixed after the Lord and our eyes on Him! We have counted the cost and now we have the daily walking out to do patiently and the bearing of much good fruit! Strive on sisters! 


I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Psalm 40:1-5



Grace, mercy, and peace in Christ,

Greetings sisters! 


Good to start out a day pondering all we have in Christ! So I'm thankful for His... 

Mercy

Grace

Hope

Love 

Peace

Atonement 

Forgiveness 

Justification 

Reconciliation 

Sanctification 

Long suffering 

Faithfulness

Truth 

Life

And so much more and in the physical food and raiment and so much more too! If that doesn't give you great joy and hope for your day I think you have some problems I have to tell you in love:-) 

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:4-7

God is so good! If only more people would serve Him. It's their loss and we can't make anyone believe and obey. 


Just finishing up sharing from the other place as I had travels today and somewhat different duties for awhile now. 

Planted a lot of potatoes out (amongst other ones that came up themselves).. 

We shall see if some of them come up as they were from old sprouts that had sat in the pantry a very long time! But His creations can be amazing in that they do what God told them to do...be fruitful and multiply so maybe they will even if kind of they looked almost dead some of them! But there's so many pototoes coming up all over the garden like 'weeds' but they're awesome 'weeds'! Just have to try to keep track of where they are when they die off for harvesting. 


Got some of the onions planted out... 

And yeah I'm not exactly sure how to plant them out but I figured God's creations can fix themselves up from an inexperienced gardener:-) I've been too busy to research it but I've seen it done and I think it's just important to not plant them too deeply as the bulb needs to grow at surface level. Leeks are different where you want to bury them deeper. Anyway this isn't a gardening blog by any means but still good to share good things we learn too. I couldn't imagine having a blog focused on the things of this life without God being the focus. So He is the focus here and glorifying Him and sharing on all sorts of good pure and true things as well! And as women we aren't teachers of doctrine so there isn't that here either and for sure women have a different role in life as well as in the body so we focus on what God called us to and of course even as women we all have different lives within God's plan and will for us. 


Wonder what 'big hungry caterpillar' munched off the tops of the cabbages? 🤔

Yeah it's called a cow! We know cows and gardens don't mix very well but it does happen. You never know what may happen from planting to harvest and if there will be one! So many things that can destroy on this earth. I'm thankful to be labouring for the Lord and eternal things and not just for the temporal things of which we do need to labour for too. 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

 

Saw these unique looking fungi in an old tyre. Reminds me of coral that grows in the sea but it's not! So many amazing things He made! 


Mole cricket creation I saw too... 

The variety is so amazing that He made! 


God granted me safe travels again on a pretty day. Always things to be thankful for! In everything give thanks He told us...yes that means all things! 


Having a thankful heart is essential for us as saints isn't it! We indeed have so much to be thankful for! 

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:20

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17



Pretty cheery flower creations for my sisters even if they're in a store... 


And there's a lot of these types all over... 

Hard to see against the grey sky but they're beautiful! 

All His creations are a testimony to a great Creator indeed! Let us also be His witnesses and walk in truth even if people don't read their Bibles or obey them let us do so in living out what it says for who we are - God's daughters!



Let us be ready to meet the Lord...watching. 

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 

And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
 Luke 12:35-37

Keep striving on my beloved sisters who obey the Lord in all things! 


Much love and a holy hug,

Greetings sister saints!


God granted another day of life for us on this earth He made! I hope you're serving Him...the almighty Creator for which nothing is impossible! I sometimes think about that how we may marvel at what God does and we should to give Him glory but it's nothing to Him as He can surely do anything! I guess we just can't comprehend this.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26


For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37

 

I've had such a busy day (of animal and garden work and cleaning and other Titus 2 works) so maybe this post will be short but sometimes I think or say that and it ends up being longer but whatever is good! We do what we can and it's all good in the Lord! 

I thought I'd share some flower pictures from my day with various scriptures! I just snapped them as I went about my work here. So amazing how much variety is in all of His creations! 



Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Psalm 31:19



The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22


Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Psalm 30:4-5



Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Psalm 86:4-5



But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 37:11



Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:12


I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
Psalm 130:5-6


He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11


This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:12


Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter 1:8


For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 
Psalm 119:89-90

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Psalm 119:116-117


Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58


Glory to the Creator for His Word and His creations! We are blessed with both...most of all His Word which guides us to eternal life! 


Well I must go and keep working here in my duties then get some rest blessing. I think I have travel to the children's tomorrow so be busy too Lord willing. Keep striving on my sisters wherever you are! Let us look above all the things we do here and the trials which are but for a moment and 'see' by faith the One we are living for! Because He lives we shall live also as well! Rejoice in hope sisters! 


Much love in His name, 

His servant,

Greetings in love to my sisters who love the Lord! 


Another day we have to choose to serve the Lord and keep fighting the good fight of faith! I hope this finds you a strong soldier in the battle with your armour on! We do not want to be deceived and think it's just going to be an easy thing to obtain the kingdom! We do not want to be destroyed for lack of knowledge but diligently seek after the truth! 


Sadly many people think being 'saved' is some safe place they are in that guarantees entrance into heaven. We know that isn't so. Well sometimes things have part truths to them but we need all the truth! Yes there is assurance in Christ and He is completely powerful to save the whole world but our heart and actions do have a part in this all of course and there is a place to fear. We wisely consider God's goodness and His severity! 

I thought I'd share a few scriptures on both here to encourage us in the truth and truth is so important as deception abounds and we must live by every word of God and not just some! 

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Ephesians 3:11-12


Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans 11:22

 

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:22

 

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4:18

 

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16


Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Hebrews 4:1


So we see there's a great boldness we can have but also a need to have fear remembering His severity and power to destroy if we sin wilfully. Strive on in the truth sisters! 


And I'm sharing this part of a psalm because it's good! 

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Psalm 62:5-8


This is a nice scripture too... 

The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Isaiah 56:8


I was pondering too how it's good to remember all the lessons we have learned in our life and faith walk. We can be forgetful creatures indeed! We can learn from history in the scriptures from good and bad examples and we should also learn from our history of course! 

And in that area technology can be a good thing as it records a lot of history. But it can also be bad as well as you can look back at things that aren't edifying or good and we want to have our hand to the plough and not look back! But as usual we just need to be self disciplined and avoid any situation that causes us to do that. Christ and eternal life is ahead! 


I was pondering how we are to be 'secretive' about some things as Jesus said let your giving be in private, your fasting, and also your praying. 

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:3-4


But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:6

 

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:17-18

 

Obviously those receiving the giving will know about it but it's really good to simply do things before the Lord so there is no other motive involved. And as the scripture says God will reward us openly (and therefore not secretly). That's interesting to ponder. Indeed pleasing the Lord is a precious thing as we do not want His wrath. 

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Philippians 4:18

 

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:16



I was thinking about the account of Joseph too...it's a really good one indeed...but I was thinking especially about how he asked the man to remember him before Pharoah but he forgot about him. He had to stay in prison longer.

But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: 

For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Genesis 40:14-15, 23


And yes he was in prison for some wicked serious false accusation by a woman too so he really had to deal with a lot so is a good example for us! And of course his own brothers were jealous against him so they were wicked to him too so he had a lot against him. It's a really inspirational account because we see the whole picture of God's plan now but imagine what it would have looked like day by day for him. It would have been slow and had to have much patience in it. But the Lord exalted him to a high position just as he had dreamed about and his brothers hated him for it. 

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Genesis 50:19-20

And his reunion with his brothers and the forgiveness he showed is a heart-warming one indeed. 

It's just encouraging that when others may do evil against us...we hope they will repent too but most probably won't but glory to God some do! And for sure all things even things that look bad to us work for good if we love Him! There's something beautiful about reconciliation, so that makes me think about the greatest one of all how we sinners against God can be reconciled with Him through Christ! Glory to God! Such hope! 

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Colossians 1:20-23

Praise God for that and let us continue in the faith sisters! 


We always need to be working on being content and thankful and patient and long suffering don't we! But that's good when we are working on things cuz then that means we care that we please Him and not let our flesh do and say and think what it wants to! We never want to give up and let our flesh reign...no!

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:5

 

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:27


In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18


But godliness with contentment is great gain. 

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

1 Timothy 6:6-8


Keep standing and walking and running and fighting in all good things my sisters! Only those who have done so will make the kingdom! Strive on and hold fast too! The Lord is at hand. Let us be prepared to meet Him. 


Love in Christ,
