Freedom's Rocket, 13 just went Home to the Rainbow Bridge, when Dr Barnett found a calcified spot in his kidney, and did exploratory sugary because it would not pass, she found cancer in several other organs. Rocket will never wake up in pain again. He has been my beloved Rock since he was 9 weeks old. Stan and Libby will miss him as badly too, especially Stan, as they have been sleeping buddies for 6 years. Stan barked most of the night last night, he missed Rock so much. He is in the Lord's Home now. TEARS for a family member. He now walks in those beautiful gardens in Heaven.

Thanks for the beautiful graphic for Freedom’s Rocket. I know he is happy in his new home, not in pain any more, he had a good life, was a great companion, he will be missed badly by all of us.

God needed him.

Room And Board

June 4, 2014

Read: John 14:1-11

I go to prepare a place for you. —John 14:2
Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 21-22; John 14

On a recent trip to England, my wife and I visited Anne Hathaway’s Cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon. The house is more than 400 years old, and it was the childhood and family home of William Shakespeare’s wife.

The tour guide drew our attention to a table made with wide boards. One side was used for eating meals and the other for chopping food. In English life, different expressions grew from this usage as the word board became associated with food, housing, honesty, and authority. An inn would offer “room and board”—that is, sleeping and eating accommodations. In taverns where customers played cards, they were told to keep their hands “above board” to make sure they weren’t cheating. And in the home, the father was given a special chair at the head of the table where he was called “chairman of the board.”

As I reflected on this, I thought about how Jesus is our “room and board.” He is our source of spiritual nourishment (John 6:35,54); He empowers us to live a life of integrity (14:21); He is our loving Master (Phil. 2:11); and He is even now preparing our eternal home. He promised: “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2; see also 14:1-4,23). His grace has provided our everlasting room and board.

Christ meets our needs now and for eternity.

Insight

John 13–17 records Jesus’ “farewell” speech, His last words to His disciples just hours before His crucifixion. Jesus spoke of humble and loving service (ch.13), of heaven (ch.14), of what it takes to be His disciple (ch.15), and of the Holy Spirit (chs.14,16). His speech culminated in a prayer for His disciples (ch.17).

Thanks Kitty, his room buddy Stan is 12, and he barked all night, Even putting Libby in with him didn’t work. Since she is small she has her own kennel. The 2 of them were not happy campers when she got here all 2.5 lbs of her. Hopefully Stan will forget quick.
