So Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Daniel 6:28
Daniel was set up but remained steadfast in his convictions. He was thrown into the lion’s den but God’s sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths. God wants us to flourish regardless of our situation. Daniel did this by honouring God above all else. We are called to do the same.
Peace to you.

For me this says it all. I think of all the teachings and blessings my Mom bestowed on me, right up till she went to her heavenly home. Thanks Mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you ladies that strive to share and give others favour and protection. You are valued.
Peace to you.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Proverbs 13:4
Life isn’t a game of poker. When we put in a good sincere effort it will pay off. Sometimes we work hard and if doesn’t end up as fruitful as what we would have liked. Maybe what we were doing wasn’t what the Lord had planned for us. For me it’s always hindsight that is 50:50. I have to remember to give it up in prayer first.
Peace to you.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:26,27
With all the sickness and devastation we are witness to in this world, we have seen many leaders. Indeed more now than ever with this COVID-19 virus. It is refreshing seeing neighbours helping neighbours. How people are being resourceful and innovative using their God given talents is uplifting, Keep it up.
Peace to you.

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:3,4.
I know that having children and babysitting a few grand children can and will try a person’s patience. Going back, it’s all fun and games till someone gets hurt. Isn’t that the truth? I feel the pressure to be calm and loving and I want to be calm and loving, but I have to work at it. With a prayer and the Lord’s help I can.
Peace to you.
