Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Grace Day
Lord let me believe and act as Paul did. Amen
I woke up to flashing lights outside my living room window and remembered there’s a marathon going on along my street. Going to be a busy day around this area but I will be at work for most of it. At least the marathoners have a nice day for it.
Paul packs so much meaning in so few words in this verse. Eleven words with SO MUCH meaning and significance and POWER. After reading so much of Acts and examining my faith I believe, as long as my family isn’t involved, I could and would die for my Lord and God.
Be blessed and carry the Wonderful News out with you today and everyday sisters. Have a great weekend.
After yesterday’s reading, I couldn’t help but think wow, Paul is so zealous for the Lord. My faith often feels so small in comparison. Then I remembered that Paul’s ministry didn’t come about by human effort. He had a very real encounter with Jesus, and the Holy Spirit worked mightily in and through Him. The same is true for us. Jesus is always ready to meet with us. The Holy Spirit is not finished with any of us yet. God is still able to use us in big and small ways as his chosen instruments to bring about his kingdom.
Also, after a busy week, it’s nice to have a quiet morning to slow down. I’m taking a little time to go back and read through everyone’s comments and prayer over people’s requests. In the midst of this crazy world, it’s a breath of fresh air to come to this corner of the internet and be connected (albeit remotely) to my sisters in Christ all over the world. Just feeling thankful this morning for this community of women who are united in the Truth, in faith, and in prayer. Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!
Wishing everyone a beautiful Saturday!!
Christ to die gain”
My father passed away in 2017 at 93. He never lost his passion to live his life for Christ. We put these words on his marker “to live
Paul really believed that, to live is Christ and to die is gain. He had such a kingdom perspective of his life.
