(Colossians 1:12-14) ©
We thank the Father who has made it possible for us to share in the saints’ inheritance of light. He has taken us out of the power of darkness and created a place for us in the kingdom of the Son that he loves. In him, we gain our freedom and the forgiveness of our sins.
Remain with us, O Lord, alleluia.
–  For it is nearly evening, alleluia.
Lord, as we pray to you give us these gifts –
  to follow the example of patience that your only-begotten Son has shown us,
  and to remain strong when we suffer adversity.
Through Christ our Lord,

AMEN

Romans 8:28 " And we know all the happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans"

Romans 12:12 "Be glad for all God is planning, patient in trouble, prayerful always"

And I know I can grow through the adversity as long as….

And I know I can grow through the adversity as long as I welcome the pain. Then I can gain the strength to trust and be glad for all that happens to me. I guess for me the most important part is to welcome the good and the bad today … then and only then, I can’t make it ugly today 🙂 Thank you very much because you made me think about these things as I often need to be reminded 🙂 

Sincerely, 

Rick 

I can hear Lynzay saying"Dad you look good in pink"and then SMILE

Romans 15:1-6 

 1We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a] 4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 

 5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Not Good Not Bad Just is and thats ok :)

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Things happen in life that are not good..Today only I can make it bad today. So i Guess I have to welcome the struggles I face each day by not running or trying to numb the pain. Through adversity we find strenth but only if we face it! If I keep thinking about things out of my control I am wasting time and energy.

So I focus on what I have control over! myself ! I Trust God seek the Word and live to conduct myself as WWJD I believe if I believe enough to strive to follow the Word of Christ I will die in sin and live in spirit and I am forgiven as long as I do the best I can do to follow Jesus Christ 🙂

Romans 5:1-5 (New International Version)

 

Romans 5

Peace and Joy

 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
