While I am up and about with the larks, as usual, I spend some happy time in spiritual meditation. It’s the best part of the day. I like to pray in silence, sometimes with inspiring Christian music. I believe in God and His blessings, especially His great gift of Jesus Christ.
Praise be to God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. As I reflected on this verse, I understood that God loves us just the same, sending us blessings and healing by Jesus, our Lord.
I decided that I like being kind to unkind people. Over the years, I have developed patience and tolerance. I seek to be a humble Christian, realistic and solution-focused.
Our Lord Jesus is an inclusive top healer and teacher. His message is still holding today: Love your neighbor.
Although it is good to think, “Bless your heart,” when people play Negative Normans (or Normas), we can all be catty Christians. I aim to devote my senior years to faith and literacy while focusing on prayers for peace for humanity and the environment.
No one can predict the future. But we can pray to do a great job for our Christian faith, develop the church’s mission, and love God and appreciate His blessings. Doing this works for me, and I hope it does for you too.
Thank God daily for His blessings.
