 6.29- When the student is ready the teacher will appear. Matthew 5 6  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,      for they will be filled.

 6.28- Today i was with a very successful Christian businessman. He loves his employees and customers and keeps a prayer list for hard spots. His goal is to have a beautiful, clean car repair place. He owns three. He had an employee who could not come to work on time. After several warnings he had to let him go. He helped him to get another job. This employee wrote him the most lovely text. He said he was doing good there and thanked him for the love and hard lessons. He said the love was felt through whole time and now he is succeeding. This is the way to make our world a better place. Colossians 3 15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.   16  Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.   17...

 6.27- Open the eyes of our hearts Lord. Help usTo see people as You see them. To see the universe and night sky with curiosity of a child. Until modern telescopes, Hubble and Webb we thought the Milky Way Galaxy is all there is. Now we know bettrr. God's complexity from an ant to 200 billion galaxies. When we pray let's pray big prayers to a big God. God creates beauty. He cleans up our messes. I had a glass jar of gravy and grease which fell from a top frig shelf to the floor. Oops. How to turn mess to beauy. I groaned and cried out to God. He helped me to wipe it up and throughly sweep the glass. God is our helper.i want to ask Him to clean up all my messes. Psalm 8 Psalm 8 [ a ] For the director of music. According to  gittith. [ b ]  A psalm of David. 1  Lord , our Lord,      how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory      in the heavens. 2  Through the praise of children and infants ...

 6.26- Turning frowns upside down. I had been parking in a fire lane at Walmart for several years to trek to their mobility carts. Robert saw me this time and old me that I couldn't park it there. I asked if he would mind parking it for me. He said, "Sure." He turned my frown upside down to a smile. Later I went back to the car after shopping for 30 minutes and Robert had left the car running. My smile turned to a frown. I knew I should be thankful and happy for his help. My frown was turned upside down. I saw Robert the next time at the store. I decided to not mention the car left running and he was so happy and helpful to me. He turned my smile up a bit and I turned his up a bit. Have you thought about how to make someone's day better. Just a smile. Just a helpful hand to open and door. It means that you noticed someone was there. I heard today of a teenager who was feeling he was not very talented at helping people at his church. His dad reminded him th...

 6.25-   Blessed are the peacemakers. I visited a wonderful online worship service this morning. It was in a bomb shelter in Israel and they were praising Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The people were from Iran and Israel but spiritually citizens of heaven that had melted the borders of their hearts. John 17 20  “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,   21  that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.   22  I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—   23  I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24  “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to...

 6.24- Just at the right time. Have you ever been in a trap of thought? A downward spiiral. At just the right time. You got a call. A text. A visit. This universe had God come to visit this planet wrapped waddling clothes in a manger. There was relative peace. There was world travel. There was a language spoken in many place. Just at the right God refreshes our spirits. Gal 4. 4  What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.   2  The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.   3  So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces [ a ]  of the world.   4  But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,   5  to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. [ b ]   6  Because you...

 6.23- In the nuclear age, the true enemy is the evil one and his tool, war itself. Pray for peace. Matthew 24 24  Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.   2  “Do you see all these things?”  he asked.  “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3  As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4  Jesus answered:  “Watch out that no one deceives you.   5  For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.   6  You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.   7  Nation will rise against nation, and kingdo...
