Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Bible in a Year:
Surely he was the Son of God!
“God is crying.” Those were the words whispered by Bill Haley’s ten-year-old daughter as she stood in the rain with a group of multiethnic believers in Jesus. They had come to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to seek God and make sense of the legacy of racial discord in America. As they stood on the grounds where former slaves were buried, they joined hands in prayer. Then suddenly the wind began to blow, and it started to rain. As the leader called out for racial healing, the rain began to fall even harder. Those gathered believed that God was at work to bring reconciliation and forgiveness.
And so was it at Calvary—God was at work. After the crucified Jesus breathed His last, “The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open” (Matthew 27:51–52). Though some had denied who Jesus was, a centurion assigned to guard Him had come to a different conclusion: “When the centurion and those with him . . . saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, ‘Surely he was the Son of God!’ ” (v. 54).
In the death of Jesus, God was at work providing forgiveness of sin for all who believe in Him. “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them” (2 Corinthians 5:19). And what better way to demonstrate that we’ve been forgiven by God than to extend forgiveness to each other.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways have you shared the forgiveness you’ve received from God with others, even those who are different from you? If you haven’t received forgiveness from God through the death of Jesus, what’s keeping you from doing so today?
Father, thank You for loving the world so much that You sent Jesus so I can be forgiven. Help me to demonstrate forgiveness toward others by the way I live.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Hope you got some good rest today.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you and Penny have a fun day? Sunshine?
It was warm enough to be out in the yard getting the flower beds ready for spring planting.
YAY.
Penny was happy to supervise from the porch. She loves the Porch.
Does it have a sign...”Penny’s Porch”?
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
Good evening, luvie, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Thanks for the hymns.
Did you get a nice nap today?
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Thanks, Kathy. And a blessed Sunday to you, too!
I did get a good nap. Just didn’t last long enough. I got chilled and it woke me up before I was ready. LOL!
Howdy, Kathy.
I hope you’ve managed to have a little R&R today. Been a ROUGH week for you.
It’s a shame the weather there is so crummy. There’s a strong geomagnetic storm hitting now and it’s making quite a show in the skies. Wild aurora over Manitoba right now and it was pretty wild last night. I saw a decent wave over Anchorage last night on the Lake Hood cam and they say it should be intense again tonight. Durn clouds will block any viewing though. :-(
We finally had sunshine today!
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you finally get a sunny warm day?
We’ve had a little sun, but overcast and fog seem to be settling in, with a hint of maybe a little snow.
