Thanks, Megs!

Prayer works! It’s great to hear that your arm is healing apace.

I’m positive that you’ll be tip top for the next shoot.

I miss you, dearie. Lookin’ forward to seeing you again.

[luvie]

I’m sooooo looking forward to seeing you again! I’ll be a-ok by then!

Great idea! :-)

[TheOldLady]

I’ll be a-ok by then!

Long before then, I hope, darling.

[TheOldLady]

I hope it helps you. I really love it.

It’s seven kinds of fun to moosh up credit card offers, and instead of throwing my name and address into the trash with the junk mail, I just tear off and water shred my information.

[luvie]

I hope so too! It’s such a long way off!

Now that I am slowly reparing my credit (which was destroyed when i lost my home), I am getting offers every day from the stupid credit card companies.

Like I REALLY want to get into THAT trap again!

YEEESH!!!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg. It is an old graphic that I just saved and used as is.

I look forward to working with graphics again.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for Opening the Doors this morning, Lori.
Today's Graphic was wonderful.

Hope you had a good day.
Did you take JK out to dinner for his birthday?

I'm heading to bed .... see you tomorrow.

[Mama_Bear]

No, we didn't go out. I fixed one of his favorite dinners, Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo and a chocolate cream pie. Two of his favorite things. :-)

Sorry I wasn't able to be around as much as I had hoped to today. I will try to do better next Tuesday.

The Last Chapter
October 30, 2013

I have a friend who reads the last chapter first when she starts a new thriller. “Takes the anxiety out of reading,” she claims. So with Christians: Because we know the end of the story, we can be centers of peace in the midst of utter chaos, calm in the face of disaster.

The apostle Paul calls this attitude “moderation” in Philippians 4:5 (kjv). It’s a term that implies “peace under pressure.” It refers to the calm and deliberate strength with which we meet the disquieting circumstances of our days. Kingdoms may fall, friends may falter, churches may fold, oceans may rise, and mountains may crumble, but we can be at peace.

How do we maintain such composure? By remembering that “the Lord is at hand” (Phil. 4:5); He is near. Our Lord is standing just outside the door ready to burst through and turn everything that’s wrong right-side up. Then this world and all its troubles will become the kingdom of our Lord, and “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Hab. 2:14).

Jesus said, “Surely I am coming quickly” (Rev. 22:20). Today could be the day! It’s the very last thing He said in the very last chapter of His book.

Lord, thank You for dispelling the fear from our lives
by letting us know the end of the story. We can rest
in the assurance that as Your followers we will one
day be with You in Your glorious, eternal kingdom.

No doctrine is more closely linked to practical daily living than that of the Lord’s return.

Read: Revelation 22:6-20

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. —Philippians 4:5

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 20-21; 2 Timothy 4
