Morning Glory

Rise and shine for the light is come – put a smile on your face. Greet the morning sun. Look forward to starting your day. Yesterday is gone. Today is a new day, a new beginning. Try getting up 30 minutes before you jump in the shower so you don‘t have to start your day with a sprint. Make yourself a cup of tea or have a glass of orange juice. 

Use a pretty glass. It always makes me feel good. Have a stress free relaxing morning.

Start your day by talking to God. Remember He has a vested interest in you. Tell Him what‘s on your mind, your thoughts and concerns. Talk to Him about your future, things you might like or hope to do. Places you may want to go and even family matters. Tell Him about the about the cute guy you like. And tell Him about the part you auditioned for in a play that you didn‘t get. You can tell God anything and He‘ll never sell you out. No matter what it is, He is looking forward to hearing from you. 

I have found this to be my favorite time of the day. The house is quiet and it has a peaceful feeling. Nothing is stirring so I go down stairs to make myself a cup of tea. I go back to my room and sit in my favorite chair which I place near the window. I glance outside to see what the weather is like then sit back in my chair and enjoy my quiet time. To others it may be just a bedroom, but to me it is my secret place. I keep it neat and orderly because I want to create a peaceful atmosphere. My room is pretty and bright, just the way I like it. If you don‘t like how your bedroom looks, change it. Make it in to what you want. Speak to your parents, ask them for assistance. Choose colors that make you smile. Decorate with pillows, throw rugs, flowers or pretty pictures. You don‘t need to spend a lot. On most occasions, a fresh coat of paint and clean room will do the trick.

And if you don‘t have a pretty glass, buy one while you are shopping for your room.

Make your time with God special. Even if you choose not to make any changes to your room, the time you spend talking to your heavenly Father is special. You may come to discover that morning glory is your favorite time of the day.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...
