Jerry’s
favorite pastime is YouTube watching MonkeyWerx twice a week, and archeological
shows about the pyramids that he visited in Egypt when he was there on an Air
Force temporary assignment. Travel shows. Prepper and RV programs. Athey Creek
at least once a month for the Prophecy Update. Just flipping through the
YouTube offerings must certainly be entertaining since he often can spend an
hour doing that or watching shorts. So much information out there. Who would
have thought we’d ever have such an information explosion? Far greater than any
encyclopedia could ever contain!
Bless the
food, family, friends. That is his prayer several times a day. What is the
focus of your daily prayers? The early believers were devoted to prayer…and to
the Lord’s supper.
All
the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship,
and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer. A deep
sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous
signs and wonders. Acts
2:42-43
When was the last time you took
communion—participated in the Lord’s Supper? I just finished a book that I
thought would be just interesting…just another diet book, but it turned out to
be a real encouraging book on following God’s plan for our lives. The Jesus
Diet by Terry Toler. He has ten points or principles that he uses numerous scriptures
to illustrate his theme. The two most important elements are giving thanks for
our food and daily recognizing the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice by taking the
Lord’s supper. Other principles include honoring God, eating any foods—but not
with a gluttonous attitude, and feeding or helping those in need—the hungry.
The
choice, as always, is up to each of us. How will you honor God today—with your
heart, soul, mind, and body? Will you serve Him by caring for others?
So when they had finished
breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me
more than these [others do--with total commitment and devotion]?" He said
to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You [with a deep, personal
affection, as for a close friend]." Jesus said to him, "Feed My
lambs." John

Meditate. Consider your own
birthday blessings.
Prayer – Lord God, thank you for
long life and Your love.
Verse of Salvation ~ Even though
the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even
though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though
the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will
rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign
LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon
the heights. Habakkuk
3:17-19
My gratitude for today: Long life. Joy to share. Choices.
Happy
Birthday, Jerry!
Blessings
and Much Love Always
