Oh, Happy Mother’s Day! 🎉❤️ Be sure and call your mother. I wish I could!❤️ It was Abraham Lincoln, who said about his mother (she died when he was nine), “All that I am or hope to be, I owe to her!” Honest Abe, I’m with you.🎉 Today at Lake Blackshear Baptist Church, we celebrate with a special gift for our ladies.🎉 Please come worship with us.✝️ Happy Mother’s Day, amen.

Father, I ask You to heal our land. I pray that we would repent and return to You. Lord, we’re in a “mess”! I claim the promise in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, that if we would repent, You would heal our land!! Father, let the repentance begin with me.✝️ Would you claim that promise too? Amen, amen.

Have a funeral for an awesome Christian lady.✝️ As the family shared their memories, my memory machine kicked in.🥲 An old song came to my mind, “Precious  Father, loving Mother, fly across the lonely years, and old home scenes of my childhood, how they ever flood my soul❤️”. Father, thank You for our precious memories,amen, amen.

Throwing down his paper, turning off the TV he said ungrammatically, “there ‘ain’t’ no good news!” He’s right, but there is this ultimate good news. “For God so loved us that He sent His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!!” Oh Father, thank You for the everlasting “good news”! We claim it now, amen.

In this world you will have tribulation,😠oh, we have tribulation, but Jesus, who came out of the grave holding the keys to death, hell, and the grave (whoever has the keys has authority✝️) told us that He has overcome the world.✝️ Oh Father, we claim this promise in the midst of this world of tribulation, oh please come get us soon, amen.

Lord, thank You for forgiving a sinner like me.✝️ Father, help me have forgiveness to others✝️, to have no animosity or ill feeling toward anyone.❤️ Father, help us all to be reconciled as brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe You’re coming back soon, bring us all together as one.🙏 I don’t want to stand ashamed in Your presence, amen.

Waiting in line at Hardee's  (run later on Saturdays), I thought about how we take so many things like doing the “biscuit run” for granted.😇 But without God’s grace, mercy and bountiful supply, we would be helpless and hopeless.✝️ Father, thank You for all things, don’t let me take anything for “granted”, amen.

Message Sunday will be “Where are you?”. Part of it has first person testimony that is awesome. Oh, the Father knows where we are, but sometimes we’re not sure ourselves.🙄 We think we know, but we may just be hiding behind a tree (that’s what Adam & Eve tried). Where are you? Come on home, the Father is calling.✝️ Father, we lift all those, who may not know where they really are, please bring them home, amen.

Saw the moon and the morning stars in a clear sky this morning, oh the beauty of it. Remember that God had told our first parents (Adam& Eve) to care for it.✝️ Then on a major road nearby, it is inundated with trash and debris. I believe that commandment “to care for” is still on the books. Oh my, forgive me, just venting a little.🙄 Father, help us to care for and tend Your creation, in Jesus’ name, amen.

In Mark 16:7 Jesus tells the ladies at the tomb, “Go tell Peter!” Peter, who had denied Jesus three times, once with a curse…this Simon Peter, Jesus was about to restore him. Jesus wants to restore all who have strayed, to bring them back into the fold.✝️ Father, we ask for restoration for all, in His name, amen.

Busy Monday-😇 funeral in Albany, my wife and I getting our second shingle’s shots, working on a sermon(it needs some work🙄). What’s on your plate today? In the busyness of it pause, pray, ask the Father for help, He will. I know from experience. Father, it’s Monday, we need You, in Jesus’ name, amen.

I have another funeral tomorrow in Albany for a faithful servant, retired from the phone company. She was one of the “belles of Southern Bell”! I ask for two things: the right words to say, to honor her memory, to comfort her family, to praise God and for traveling mercies. I’ve driven on the autobahn, but I’m not as confident as then.🙏 Today is the day of worship, let’s do it!! Amen.

Restoration…that’s what Jesus does in our lives. He restores us to a right relationship with the Father. No matter how far we’ve strayed, He wants us to come home. Two examples: Simon Peter, after he had denied Jesus three times with a curse and the prodigal son, in the far country. Oh, He has restored me. He will restore all, just call on His Name, today, amen.

Awesome afternoon of watching our Brotherhood men plant a vegetable garden at our church.🎉 It’s another of their outreach ministries.  Then tomorrow, a group of WOM ladies are headed to the Women’s Spring Event conference. The Father is bringing us back to worship and outreach following the Covid-19 shutdown and with new determination. Oh Lord, we want to worship You and reach and minister to all. Help us, in Jesus’ name, amen.
