Used to be a Decoration Day.
Here is a song by Flatt and Scruggs

Bouquet In Heaven
When it’s decoration day in Heaven
There’s a bouquet I’m longing to see
There’s a flower somewhere in the bouquet
That means all the world to me

Now she left the old homeplace is lonely
Since mother has been called away
And I know I can never more see her
‘TiI we meet on that decoration day.

I remember the night the angles called her
To live on that beautiful shore
It left us so lonely here without her
It can never be like home anymore.

Happy birthday to the Army on the 14th.

Today, June 12, is my birthday and my cat’s birthday too. Two bitchy ladies who understand and love each other.

The Only Red We Want Is the Red We've Got (In the Old Red, White & Blue--Ralph Flanagan (1950)

It's the right red, not the wrong red.
It's a brave red, not a slave red.

Expecting Jesus

Bible in a Year :

• Ezra 6-8
• John 21

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Matthew 24:44 My friend Paul was awaiting the arrival of a technician to repair his refrigerator when he saw a text on his phone from the appliance company. It read: “Jesus is on his way and is expected to arrive at approximately 11:35 a.m.” Paul soon discovered the technician’s name was indeed Jesús (hay-SOOS).

But when can we expect Jesus the Son of God to arrive? When He came as a man two thousand years ago and suffered the penalty of our sin, He said that He’d be back—but only the Father knew the precise “day or hour” of His return (Matthew 24:36). What difference might it make in our day-to-day priorities if we did know the moment our Savior is coming back to earth? (John 14:1-3).

Jesus cautioned us to be ready for His return: “the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” (Matthew 24:44). He reminded us to “keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come” (v. 42).

On the day of Christ’s return, we won’t get an alert on our phone to give us a heads-up. So, through the power of the Spirit working through us, let’s live each day with a perspective of eternity, serving God and taking advantage of every opportunity to share His message of love and hope with others.

Reflect & Pray

How are you motivated by Jesus’ imminent return? What can you expect when He comes again?

Father, as I patiently wait, please help me to obey You, pursue holiness, and to live in expectation of Christ’s return.
