12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.
I’m so thankful for the people God has put in my life to lead me and help me through times of strife. I don’t know where I would be in my faith without them!
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I don’t know about you ladies but these two key points are so hard to do “Live in peace with each other…be patient with everyone.” I think I can easily check them off my “not possible list” from the moment I open my eyes! I have been broken enough to relate to so many, yet I forget to be patient so often…especially to certain family members!! I will master this for sure when my earthly body gets changed to the new, but until then, it is not an easy road…
My Bible’s note on Numbers 7 made it so much easier to read today! And really challenged me to appreciate the rituals I do to draw near to God and what I can add on to my daily life…
“Numbers 7 emphasizes the importance of ceremony through its detailed descriptions of the leaders’ repetitive offering. Though Moses could have sacred time, efforts and paper by describing just once the offering given by all twelve leaders, he lets the entire account unfold, one piece at a time- demonstrating the importance of sacred tradition.
What rituals or traditions in your life allow you to more fully experience the sacred? What small, simple rituals can you add to your life that will feed your spirit and soul?”
Lift each other up. Powerful!

Amen. 1 thess 5.23
“Children of the light” it’s nice to be reminded that I am a child of His and I belong to He who is light!
1 thess 5:5

This was my favorite part too!
