I think I too must take a little break for a while. As well as going through my sickness trial ( at the moment I feel like I am in a 'Job situation'}, but keep getting the same encouraging scriptures from the Lord, especially the one regarding the centurion's slave, and the others that the Lord has given me. I also need a little time out, visiting some lovely places around Wales, as my garden has been keeping me busy lately too. Enjoy your rest.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-59827664584523464982013-06-24T21:55:27.650-07:002013-06-24T21:55:27.650-07:00Peggy, and what an awesome and wonder never-ending...Peggy, and what an awesome and wonder never-ending future it will be.

I believe Christ's return may very well be close and we live in a society which is falling deeper into sin. However, at the same time there are many ripe to hear the Gospel and Jesus is still saving sinners. Like Jesus, we must be about our Heavenly Fathers business.<br />Thank you for sharing your new blog, I am coming over to check it out.<br />May God bless you,<br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778220319438098870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-70281024113460069762013-06-20T21:27:14.327-07:002013-06-20T21:27:14.327-07:00child of God, Wow, Praise God that you got out of ...child of God, Wow, Praise God that you got out of Alberta before the flooding. We must never take tomorrow for granted because in just a moment, everything can change. The only thing we may have assurance in is our Lord and our salvation through Him. It is easy to let the things of this world distract us from what is truly important. But when we pass from here to eternity, we no longer can to out and tell someone about the love of Christ and salvation through Him.<br />May the Lord bless you,<br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778220319438098870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-81494216330491234982013-06-20T21:14:35.452-07:002013-06-20T21:14:35.452-07:00Dee, We must all keep moving forward in life and g...Dee, We must all keep moving forward in life and growing in the Lord.

It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. <br />I think that as the coming of the Lord seems to be drawing nearer we must be more vigilant in sharing the love of Christ with others. <br />God bless you Ken<br />Chelle<br /><br />By the way I dhave a new blog now.

Just before reading your post, I was read...Hi Ken,<br /><br />Just before reading your post, I was reading Ecclesiastes. Everything except for God is meaningless. Everything we do with our lives is meaningless unless we share God with those who do not know Him. Life comes and it goes and the only thing that truly matters is eternal salvation and life in heaven with our Father. <br /><br />My family and I just came back from a short trip to Alberta. At the ending of our trip we decided to get a park pass and go hiking in the mountains by Rogers Pass. It was wonderful! Then today I look at the news and see the banter going around the internet that Banff, Canmore and southern Alberta are having a crisis flooding. Where we just were, in Canmore, is underwater and being destroyed. What I knew just yesterday is now totally different. Father brought me to Proverbs 27:1 <i>Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.</i> We do not know what tomorrow may bring. The only assured thing is Jesus Christ crucified and risen again sitting at Father's right hand bringing salvation to all who will accept Him. <br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful encouragement to continue to share the Gospel. <br /><br />Glad you had a wonderful vacation. I hope you are well rested and ready to continue on. <br /><br />Blessings brother,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-10191708531113662102013-06-20T18:27:10.935-07:002013-06-20T18:27:10.935-07:00We all have so much wasted time in our lives and a...We all have so much wasted time in our lives and as we become older we can see it....you can never make it up but you can begin with what time you have left to glorify God in His service.

This is not good, especially when it comes to the things of God, such of prayer. And how many times have I been negatively affected by someone else and then pass it on.

It may have a consequence like dominos...they negatively affect us..we affect another person,etc...<br />~God bless~<br />Lisa<br /><br /><br />~God bless~ LisaNever Forsakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537083795724752514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-8339769035664301932013-06-20T01:34:10.576-07:002013-06-20T01:34:10.576-07:00Hi Ken, it does pass quickly, doesn't it?

I count the candles on my recent birthday cake and wonder - how did THAT happen?<br /><br />I was reminded of this Scripture:<br /><br />"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12)<br /><br />I think this is the secret to making those millimeters on the tape measure count. Fearing the Lord is the first step to wisdom - and we are wise to live our lives to HIS glory.<br /><br />May we focus on eternity - and do our best to tell others the way to salvation and eternal life.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
