Hope breakfast was good, I was busy finishing my website for my author site to post my books and I was going great guns until a buddy wanted to use the computer a moment to send an email on a job. Guess which one he shut off, (sigh)
Ha d a bit of rework to do, but got it done in time and can now stop by and enjoy the Friday chat in comfort!

Significant
November 13, 2010

An old TV sitcom featured an estab- lishment that the patrons seemed to frequent on a daily basis. The concept was that it was a welcoming place where “everybody knows your name.”

We all want to be accepted, to fit in somewhere. But some people live on the margins of life where it can be difficult to feel they have any value or significance, or that they matter to anyone. Children sometimes experience this: Too tall—when other kids haven’t had a growth spurt yet. Too fat—when the other kids are thinner. Too smart—when their classmates are struggling. Or “not smart enough” in comparison with others. Being different as a child can result in being mocked or bullied. But an adult who doesn’t fit into the mold may just be ignored—so insignificant that he or she feels invisible.

But what a great significance we have in God’s eyes! We were so valued that He sent His Son to pay the price for our sins and to allow us to have a relationship with Him. We were created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27), and He has designed us and been involved in every detail of our life since before we were born (Ps. 139:1-16). Whether or not we always feel significant, we are deeply loved by our Father.

Of all creation’s treasures rare,
Not one compares in worth with man,
In God’s own image we were made
To fill a place in His great plan. —D. De Haan

The God who created the universe is the God who loves you.

Read: Psalm 139:1-16

My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret. —Psalm 139:15

Bible in a year:
Lamentations 1-2; Hebrews 10:1-18

“The God who created the universe is the God who loves you.”

When I lay down at night in a good warm bed, and think on the fact that God has fed me everyday of my life, provided a house in which to live, clothes to wear, food in the pantry. I have lived in Oklahoma, and Texas in the United States of American all my life, during what I call ‘the golden age’.

... has there ever been a better time than the last 50 years has been?

I am so thankful to God, for His love and care. I had good loyal parents that raised me and provided my needs. I always had shoes to wear, a winter coat, medical care when needed. I was young and now older.

When we count our true blessings we all have a blessed life. Do we praise God for our blessings every day?
