 Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Deuteronomy 281-14 1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. This is the promise of blessing to those who are the people of God. We are not only blessed but overtaken by blessings. If our life is lacking in blessing, what can we do to obtain these blessings from the Lord? How are we blessed? Answer: These verses explain the blessings very well. I need to make sure that I am Seeking Jesus and the kingdom of God first. Then all these things shall be added unto me.

Observations: The ship that Paul was on had wrecked. They ended up on an island where there were Barbaric people, people who were considered primitive or uncivilized. Normally, barbarous people were considered to be cruel and dangerous. These people ended up being extremely nice to them. The lit a fire for warmth considering the rainy weather. A poisonous snake bit Paul on the hand, and they expected him to get sick and/or die. They thought surely vengeance had taken him out from some horrible crime like murder that he may have committed. He just shook the snake off into the fire and continued his merry way. No harm ever came to him as a result of the snake bite. Application: Even barbaric people can show a lot of kindness when they choose to. When we are laboring for the Lord, God protects us. Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for your protection. Keep me safe from harm as I work to serve you. Give me favor and peace with other people.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 128:1-6 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. 5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. What does it mean to fear the Lord? Should we be afraid of anything else? Answer: The Lord should be our only fear. Everything else is nothing compared to the power of Almighty God.

Observations: Basically, these verses are saying that the group of people with Paul was received gladly. Paul then gave them a report of his mission work. Application: We should always receive others gladly especially when they are our siblings in Christ. Prayer: Dear God, May I always received my brothers and sisters in Christ with gladness.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 112:1-8 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. How can we apply these verses to our own life? Answer: When we trust in the Lord, we have nothing to fear. God is our refuge and strength. To live is Christ and to die is gain. It is win-win.

Observations: The prison guard washed Paul and silus’s wounds and fed them. Application: Hospitality is simply attending to the needs of a guest whoever they might be.

Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.” ― Brian Jacques, Taggerung Write about flowers and comfort. Flowers are nice to look at. I can't say for me personally that flowers and comfort go together though. 🤷♀️

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. What does it mean to keep judgement? How can we be righteous all the time? Answer: We are righteous always through the blood of Jesus Christ and following God's will for our lives. We keep judgement by making good decisions and keeping God's commands.

Now accepting entries for April ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - Acts 16:13-15 Scripture: 13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. 14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. Observations: Lydia sold purple for a living. The Lord opened her heart to hear Paul's message. She and her household were baptized which indicates Salvation. She was hospitable in offering Paul and his company a place to stay. Apparently they were having a prayer meeting with the women. Application: It is the Lord that opens someone’s heart to receive the message of Salvation. Prayer: Dear God, Help us to be a witness to others. Open their hearts to receive the message you have given us. Help us to do it with the right attitude and not think more of ourselves than we should think. In the holy name of Jesus, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday’s Scripture writing - 2 kings 6:21-23 Scripture: 21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them? 22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. Observations: The King of Israel showed hospitality to his captives. Application: As a result of hospitality shown, relations were improved with the other nation. Prayer: Dear God, Help us to always show hospitality and peace to others. Help us to build healthy and safe relationships. In Jesus’s name, Amen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gratitude List 1.

I didn't know there were creativity rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Commander Wilma Deering and we came across this planet, a favorite of mine, Monty (265) Read this item:
Write about fishing today. When I was young, every time my dad would take me fishing with him, I would either catch more or bigger fish than him.

The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.” —Joseph Campbell How does this quote relate to renewal. It is hard to obtain the new when you are still hanging onto the old. It is like Salvation in Christianity. We must put off the sinful ways of the flesh and begin to live in the new ways of the Holy Spirit, living a righteous life in Christ.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 94:12 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. Why are we blessed when God chastens us? What do these verses mean? Answer: We are blessed when God chastens us because he is treating us as a loving Father treats his children. He is wanting us to correct the bad behavior so we will have Godly character. God teaches us his laws so we can follow them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - 1 Timothy 5:3, 9-10 Scripture: 3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. Observations: Verse 3- Honour true widows. Verse 9- A widow under 60 is not a helpless widow. Verse 10- Talks about why you should help widows. Application: I am not a huge fan of this topic. I believe in helping widows when they need it, but we do not live in an ideal world. There are many a res of gray. The Bible does help define some of these areas where others, such as this one, I feel a bit uncomfortable with. Just because a widow isn’t 60 years old, shouldn't make her not a true widow. I think circumstances need to be examined in the situation. It is like saying in this passage that all unmarried women under 60 are busy bodies and gossips. This is not always true even if it may be common. I am not sure how to deal with Scriptures and churches who seem to make unfair rules just because it is worded and interpreted a certain way in the Bible. Prayer: Dear God, If I am wrong in my attitude towards this, correct me. Help me to have the attitude towards widows and others that you desire me to have.

What does eye contact mean to you? I do believe this, yes. I love looking a person in the eyes. For one, I like seeing their eye color. By looking someone in the eyes, you can read a lot of things non-verbally about them. You can see when some people are lying. You can see if there is happiness or sadness in their eyes. Sometimes you can even sense evil from someone’s eyes. You can sense other emotions too if you pay close enough attention to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi everybody I am sending the prompt slightly earlier than usual. I wanted to send it before I got sidetracked and forgot. Your captain is a lot like the absentminded professor. I'm usually pretty smart but can go to the bathroom and forget why I'm there! lol Today cruising through the WDC galaxy we got a distress call from RandyJohnson71 (6) who writes about his wife learning to play violin.

Probably storage or a spare bedroom/ work out room. Maybe all 3. I make crafts, but I don't want to be confined to one area. I like to go to different rooms to work on different crafts. Otherwise, I might make it a craft room instead.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Matthew 24:43-47 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. How can we be wise and faithful servants? Answer: To be a wise and faithful servant of Christ means to follow him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength without turning back. It means to be ready for him to return at any time. It is keeping our heart right with him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Scripture: 1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Observations: Verse 1- It is good for a man to desire a position in office in a church. Verse 2- This person should have a good reputation, not have known sin, husband of one wife, sober, observant, hospitable, able to teach, and on his best behavior. Verse 3- Doesn't get drunk or do drugs, is not violent, not greedy, not a fighter, not coveting others’ property but should be patient . Verse 4- one who is able to control his children. Verse 5- How can a man take care of a church if he can't rule his own house? Verse 6- not a beginner so he isn’t overcome with pride.. Verse 7- He should also be able to have a good reputation and relations with people outside the church. Application: Only a very good man should hold a high position in the church. Prayer: Dear God, I pray for the men of my church who hold the higher positions that they may maintain a good reputation and fulfill your will for them and their families.

Have you ever been bitten by alcohol? Tell us your favorite party memory. I am the daughter of a preacher. Sooooo, yes. 🤪 When I first got out of high school, I went a bit wild. I did not disappoint the reputation of preacher’s kids. I didn't do the hard drugs, thank God. I huffed when I was a teenager. Then after high school, I got my own apartment. My best friend teases me by telling me it had its own revolving party door. I have a few stories I could tell, but don't have time for that right now. I guess my favorite would be the night I decided to have a drinking contest with one of my guy friends. We had other friends around so they could keep the tally. We both sat down across from each other on a bar stool. My apartment had a breakfast bar at the time. I can't remember how many beers we drank. We both drank until he passed out. I was okay until I tried to get up and walk. Yeah, that didn't go so well. But hey! I won the contest. Although I had a nice mess to clean up the next day. Looking back now, I realize how foolish that was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Use these words in your blog... courage, brilliance, bunny, daffodil and raindrops.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Like 6:20-23 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. How do these differ from the beatitudes in Matthew 5? What can we take from these verses for ourselves? Answer: These verses do not list all of the beatitudes that are listed in Matthew chapter 5, and they are worded a little differently. These verses speak more specifically about ways you can be persecuted. Matthew 5 mentions it too, but I feel these verse have a little more detail to add with Matthew 5. We can take from this that life is hard, but rejoice in the Lord always. We win in the end. 😃

Show hospitality without grudges or expecting anything in return. Share your spiritual gifts with others and do everything to God's glory.

I found that Princess Megan Rose (2728) had the bridge in top condition and I thank her for handling things for me. Today on my way back, I found a star I had forgotten about. Choconut (1537) has been a fixture in the WDC galaxy for sometime. In
she talks about wondering if she'll ever recover. Have you ever been in a place where you wondered if there was any hope? What did you do? Depression is depressing. 😢 Yes, I have been there. I came very close to throwing myself into a lake to drown myself. It was literally a vision of Jesus and and ex-boyfriend that prevented me from doing it. I don't like to remember this. It was a very dark place that I never want to visit again. I had felt like all hope was completely gone and nothing was ever going to change or get better. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem when you commit suicide. This feeling is not a place anyone wants to be. If you feel yourself going there please make others aware of it even if you have to scream to the top of your lungs to anyone who will hear. It is preventable, and there is someone out there somewhere who cares even about a complete stranger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/april-fools-day There's some interesting background about April 1st in history. Discuss what you've learned. Share with us an interesting April 1st memory. I did not realize April 1st used to be the new year a long time ago. This was interesting and informative to read today. My mom would always tell me how my grandfather, her dad was a prankster. She would tell me how he pulled an April Fool's prank on another prankster. So he knew someone who would go around moving people's outhouses so they would fall into the hole. He got a brilliant idea to prank the prankster. He knew the prankster would be coming to move his outhouse. So he moved the outhouse first so the prank backfired. Needless to say, he enjoyed taunting the prankster before helping him out of the hole. The prankster never pulled that prank on my grandpa again. Of course, this wasn't just any hole. It was full of human wastes because back in the day, they didn't have indoor plumbing.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 89:15-18 15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. Explain these verses. Answer: God glorifies his people as they follow him and walk in his ways. He causes them to rejoice. I believe this joyful sound to be rejoicing and celebration. We are blessed and we win when we live for Jesus.

Write about this poem today for your Blog entry. Geese are beautiful birds. I love to take pictures of them when I can. It amazes me to watch them in flight. I have taken some awesome pictures of geese in the past. I would love to get some more. I think one day I would love to go to a lake and watch the sun rise or set while taking some pictures and if I am lucky there will be some geese there too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 5056: March 31, 2021 Prompt: "It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened." ~ Philip Sidney Write about nature and palm trees. The ninja monkeys would like this prompt I think. 😂 I get a mental picture of them climbing the palm trees, picking the coconuts, and throwing them at people and each other from in in the tree they are in. 😂 There is a game for the Xbox One and Wii that is Super Mario Party 8. It has a board you can play that is tropical and has mini games that include monkeys climbing ropes while trying to avoid getting hit in the head with coconuts. It is quite the challenge and a fun little family game. I recommend it, and yes there are palm trees in this game. 😊🌴🥥 Palm trees make me think of a beach or a tropical area. I think of sunshine and a light breeze. Short of a picture of a hurricane, it is actually quite a relaxing scene I see in my imagination. It would be fun to go to a place like this and take pictures, especially if there are seagulls or other animals around the area and close to sunrise or sunset with a few clouds floating in the sky.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 84:4-5;12 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. How can we dwell in God's house and put our strength in him? What do these verses mean? Answer: To dwell in God's house is to be in His presence. To put our strength in God means we don't rely on our own strength. We rely on God's direction, Word, and will. We trust him to fight for us and to work through and in us. It is completely relying on God for everything.

There is still time to enter if you desire to do so. Tomorrow is the last day to get your entries in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - James 3:16-18 Scripture: 16 For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. Observations: Verse 16- Envying and strife produce evil and confusion. Verse 17- The wisdom that comes from God does not produce evil and confusion. It is pure, gentle, promotes peace, easy to be heard and accepted, full of mercy and goodness, and without hypocrisy and favoritism. Verse 18- The end result of righteousness is peace. Application: God is a God of Peace. Good works lead to the end result of peace. Anything evil, such as envying and strife, leads to confusion and the opposite of peace. Prayer: Dear God, Help me to always pursue the way of peace. Help me to remember verse 17 so that my life will produce the fruits of the Spirit. In Jesus‘ name, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gratitude List 1. Snacks 2. Clean clothes 3. Windows 4. Recliners 5.

Tell us what comes to your mind. I would imagine her story may have been one similar to Corrie Ten Boom’s. I find it interesting that both women have books and museums and movies credited to their lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Dr. Beverly Crusher and found this planet: Kitbok (2) Read this item:
Write about this poem in your Blog entry today. I agree with this poem 100%. I like the message it has. God is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 5055: March 30, 2021 Prompt: You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. Marie Curie Use this quote in your blog entry. My thoughts on the above quote: If you want to improve the world, the best place to begin is within yourself. Until you fix what is wrong with yourself, it is hard to fix what is wrong with anyone else. We can't help every one we meet, but we can help the people we can one individual at a time. Change is a process. Improvement takes time and effort. The only way to have the world improve is by a bunch of individuals improving themselves and helping others in their personal circle along the way.

Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. What does it mean to be chosen of God? Answer: I thought this verse was interesting. The beliefs in predestination is not something I completely understand. However, sometimes when children are adopted, I have heard it said of them that they were chosen. Another thought is of the story of Esther. When anyone approached the king without being called by him first, they risked being put to death. It is a picture of a king being the ultimate authority and to be reverenced and feared. We should have this same reverence and fear before God who is the king of kings. We are allowed to come before him when we have been washed in the blood of Christ. We are then allowed to dwell in the presence of Almighty God.

Thank you for all the entries guys and a great challenge ahead of me to decide on the winners. 😊 There is still a little time for anyone who still wants to enter. You have until Wednesday the 31st. Awesome job guys! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - James 3:13-15 Scripture: 13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Observations: Verse 13- If you are wise and have knowledge, then you should be able to show good works with good clean conversation with humbleness and wisdom. (cursing uncontrollably is considered foolishness in the Bible. This is a verse that indirectly states this. Verse 14- You should not lie and try to cover up any bitterness, foolishness, or strife. You should confess it immediately, and seek repentance. Verse 15- Bitterness, foolishness, and strife does not come from God. It is wicked and devilish. It is earthly and sensual - relating to physical gratification. Application: Bitterness, foolishness, and strife gratify us physically in the flesh for the moment, but in the end are destructive to us and to others. They are not from God. They are promoted by the devil. They produce wickedness. Prayer: Dear God, Help me to never harbor bitterness, foolishness or strife in my heart. Teach me wisdom and knowledge so I can do good works with good clean conversation. In the name of Jesus, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Make-up Scripture writing - Matthew 21:21-22 For March 28th, 2021 Scripture: 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Observations: Verse 21- If you have faith without doubts, your prayers can move mountains. Verse 22- Anything you ask for in prayer with mountain moving faith, you will receive. Application: Pray in faith without doubting. Prayer: God, I want to have faith that will move mountains. Teach me what it means to have that kind of faith. Your word also says that if any of us lack faith, to let them ask of God who gives to all men liberally (not sparingly ). So please give me that type of faith. In the name of Jesus, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gratitude List 1. Laundry mats 2. Clothes dryers 3. Pillows 4. Soap 5. Beautiful weather 6. Friends 7. Goal setting 8. Music 9. Bible study 10. Prayer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt “Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect,” JK Rowling wrote in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. What does she mean? Have you found everything or even some things that you have lost? I don't think things we lose always come back to us, but the things that truly matter or are meant to be do come back. And they don't always do it the way you would expect them to come back to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was cruising the galaxy with the White Rabbit and we landed on this planet: Monty (265) Read this item:
Write about Leprechauns today. They are a fun legend for stories. I don't believe they are real. According to Wikipedia, they are male fairies from Irish folklore. Apparently, Santa Clause is more believable and based on true stories as posed to these little creatures dressed in green. However, they do make for some really fun fairy tales, literally. 😂 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 5054: March 28, 2021 Prompt: What are 5 things you want to accomplish in April? 1. Start learning to play the guitar. 2. Start making videos of myself singing to share with others to bless them. 3. Start memorizing more Scripture. 4. Do a thorough cleaning of my apartment. 5. Start selling more of my crafts.
