Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God.
Revelation 3:12
{Prayer}
Our Father, help us to hold fast to our faith in You. Give us strength and courage not to give up under pressure in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus precious Name Amen.
There are a lot of tough challenges in life and sometimes we will blame God or mock those who love God and make them think You are not a good steward when all actuality You may be hurting others and blaming God when You made the wrong choices. A lot of bad choices put people in bad situations where they suffer. It is not God’s fault or those around you even if you blame them for nothing. Don’t give up. Accept defeat and turn Your bad choices around for the good and watch God work. If you plant a rock nothing grows. But if you struggle and you are doing the best you can! Do not give up! We all mess up to not give up and we become professional stewards in whatever we learn for good. We take what we learn for good and plant it in others’ lives, so they don’t suffer much. We forgive and give love. We are compassionate, about patients and heart of prayer for others. Blessing them so they can endure and not give up. We honor God and serve with pleasure of worship.

It reads in Galatians 6: 6-9, ~Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

{Let’s Pray}

What does the Bible say about Father’s Day?
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you. ‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you on the land which the Lord your God gives you. Exodus 20:12 (This info right here is the best gift you can give to your parents and not just on Father’s Day or any holiday or just when you are in front of someone trying to make a good impression. Your love for your parent should be always, because yes God see’s and knows you better than you know yourself. The parent also should use these same gifts towards their children. Why are parents so attached to their children? You are very proud of your creation. We have been long told that the babies are our wealth etc. It’s a basic instinct given to all to care for their little ones till they stand on their own. There are so many gifts to the raising of children. Parents are always proud of their accomplishments. Parents are blessed when their children accomplish much good. Just saying.

On Father’s Day, you can celebrate all of God’s promises to you:

He will never leave you or abandon you.
Hebrews 13:5-6: Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So, we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
God has reserved a place for you at His table.
Ephesians 2:5-6: Made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
He will give you strength when you’re weak.
Isaiah 40:29-31: He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.
The Lord will love you always.
Psalm 118:1: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
God will protect you.
2 Thessalonians 3:3: The Lord is faithful. Men may be unbelievers, and hostile, but the Lord is faithful to every promise, and in spite of evil men will keep [you] from evil. From the power of the evil one.
He will help you keep going.
Psalm 54:4; Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
The Lord will comfort you in hard times.
Psalm 23:4; Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
He will give you everlasting life.
John 6:40; For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

“Father’s Day Poem”
A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one of your very best friends!
He’s proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do, a dad’s love plays a part.
There’s always a place for him deep in your heart.
And each year that passes, you’re even more glad,
More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad…
for listening and caring, for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Father’s Day.

I talk with my husband. He has a personal relationship with God, and he was baptized. I say a personal relationship with Jesus starts and ends with myself. He is so correct. Jesus is my first person I have conversation in the morning and first person I confide in. My first friend and my everything. If I remember this when I feel I can’t handle stuff. I in my heart say God help me with whatever I go through. Someone gets mad. I say why God. Please don’t let that person be upset. God listens. Ask God to help you see yourself and the whole situation or any situation. God wants to have a deep conversation with you. Why? Because He wants you to feel comfortable speaking to Him and opening your heart to the wonderful gifts He has to offer! Speaking with God will help grow your faith, lift your mood and feel more impactful around others going the same way you are. As you forgive someone, ask God to open their eyes to their wrongs and ask God to help them make their wrongs right.
It reads in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, ~ NO mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord. But we know about these things because God has sent His Spirit to tell us, and His Spirit searches out and shows us all of God’s deepest secrets.
It reads in 1 Corinthians 2:12-14, ~ And God has actually given us His Spirit (Not the world’s spirit) to tell us about the wonderful free gifts of grace and blessings that God has given us. In telling you about these gifts we have even used the very words given us by the Holy Spirit, not words that we as men or women might choose. So, we use the Holy Spirit’s words to explain the Holy Spirits facts. But the man or woman who isn’t a Christian can’t understand and can’t accept these thoughts from God, which the Holy Spirit teaches us. They sound foolish to him or her, because only those who have the Holy Spirit within them can understand what the Holy Spirit means. Others just can’t take it in. You can read these verses for yourself.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for every Father under heaven. That they will really grasp that You have been with them all along. Those who are new and those who are old and all in between that You will shine Your light on them and bless them today. Help them to see Your Holy Spirit working in their lives as we celebrate them in all Your glory. For fathers that are serving on the frontlines, Father God that Your sovereign hand will be upon them and protect them from all harm. Give them Your wisdom, peace and guidance. Give them the chance to reunite with their families today by phone or one day soon. Bless their families and give them courage. For all those whose fathers have gone home to be with you. Give them good memories and bless these families. Give us all an understanding heart and a love for You that grows with every passing day in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

{Power Verse}
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:11

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Your need for Jesus Christ can be met by believing the gospel that Christ supplies everything you need for salvation, life, truth, and joy. Christ can be in you today, providing forgiveness, strength, the hope of glory, and grace freely when you believe he provided what you need. Every man needs the Lord Jesus Christ.
You have all you need if you have Jesus. If you have Jesus, you have all you need. God does his work on this earth with ordinary people in our ordinary-everyday situations. And he can take an ordinary situation, with ordinary people, kick it up a notch and do some extraordinary things.
Since we can’t add anything more to “every,” Jesus is truly enough for every spiritual need we have. Jesus is enough to equip us. We have the promise that God’s “divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for “a dynamic spiritual” life and godliness”

2 Peter 1:3.

I need Jesus as an example to follow. We all learn from the example of others. We may be following good examples or bad, but to a large extent. Our lives are shaped by the lives of others if we follow them and not Jesus. We need to learn from others who are going in the right direction. Oh, sure you are going to have doubters, people who are ashamed of Jesus but never let that get you down. Remember who really has your back and walk on in His light. I’ve learned some wonderful lessons from the example of my parents and other dedicated Christians, Mentors and not to mention the examples found in the Bible. We need the name of Jesus Christ?
Jesus is the only name that can take away our sin and save us in the “name of Jesus” representing all that Jesus Christ is and does. There is literally no one and nothing else that we could add to Christ to aid our salvation. He finished the work on the cross “John 19:30, ~ When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” and what He did is enough to save us.
Jesus is enough to save us. Jesus has “by one sacrifice made perfect forever those who are being made holy” Hebrews 10:14. Peter preached that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” Acts 4:12. Jesus is the only name that can take away our sin and save us, the “name of Jesus” representing all that Jesus Christ is and does. and what He did is enough to save us. Amen!
{Let’s Pray}
Father God I thank You and praise You that You show me each day to never forget where I came from and to never forget where I am going. I thank You and praise You for giving me a heart to forgive and give. I thank You and praise You for sending Jesus Christ into my life and this world to be born a perfect man. Walked this earth perfectly and Who alone has paid the price for my sins and for all who believe in Him. I thank You and praise You for His perfect life, lived in His prefect body so that He could die the perfect death and become our risen Savior. That You are and have been with us along in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.” ~ Isaiah 65:17. And in Christ, he’s given us a fresh start. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17, ~ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. John 3:16,~ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The wisdom from the Bible prepares, cautions, encourages, comforts, guides, and supports us in our time of need. Below we will learn more about learning and how we can gain wisdom on our daily walk with Christ. “The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice.” “Develop a passion for learning. I am totally still learning.

2 Timothy 3:16,

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
We found Florida Roseate Spoonbill Ducks in someone’s little lake in their yard. So, my husband stopped the car. I got out and zoomed towards the ducks because I didn’t want to scare them off. I took several pictures of them, although I did not know the name of these ducks. I came home and uploaded the pictures to my computer and found out they was Spoonbills. Cause I eventually put spoon duck in the search. I was amazed at how their beak looked like my wooden spoons. The roseate spoonbill ( Platalea ajaja) is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in both South and North America. The roseate spoonbill is sometimes placed in its own genus – Ajaja. Roseate Spoonbill ( Platalea ajaja) Raccoons and coyotes eat roseate spoonbill eggs and young. Spoonbills reach sexual maturity at approximately 16 weeks. In Texas, their mating season lasts from March through June. Nests are built in thick vegetation above water; are well-built, and deeply cupped. Roseate Spoonbill chicks don’t have a spoon-shaped bill immediately after hatching. When they are 9 days old the bill starts to flatten, by 16 days it starts to look a bit more spoon like, and by 39 days it is nearly full size. The Roseate Spoonbill is an omnivorous animal that uses its spoon-like beak to catch small animals in the water. The Roseate Spoonbill sweeps this distinctively shaped bill from side to side close to the bottom of the water, creating little whirlpools of water that trap prey inside them, enabling the Roseate Spoonbill to feed. Roseate spoonbills are serially monogamous and stay with one partner during one breeding season. They nest in small colonies and males constantly defend their territories against intruders. Preferred nesting areas usually include shrubs, trees, or often mangroves. Human interaction with Spoonbills varies based on the region. Direct conflict is minimal, because these birds do not usually eat the same types of fish that we utilize. However, prior to regulation, humans hunted these birds extensively. The roseate spoonbill is protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act and as a State-designated Threatened species by Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Species Rule. Bjork R.,G.V.N Powell., 1996. Roseate Spoonbill.
The Roseate Spoonbill is one of the newest birds to join the Birdorable family. Here are some fun facts about this unique species.

1. The collective noun for spoonbills is bowl. Have you ever seen a bowl of Roseate Spoonbills?
2. Roseate Spoonbills get their pink color from their food! They feed on crustaceans who in turn have fed on algae.
3. In parts of their range, especially in Florida, Roseate Spoonbills are sometimes confused with another large pink wading bird: the flamingo.
4. There are six species of spoonbill in the world; the Roseate Spoonbill is the only one with pink plumage.Roseate Spoonbill
5. The Roseate Spoonbill is also the only spoonbill species found in the Americas.
6. The beaks of chick spoonbills are straight; the spoon-shape grows as the chick develops.
7. Spoonbills use their specialized bills to feed. They sweep their open bills through the water, and when a prey item like a fish or insect comes between the mandibles, the bill snaps shut.
8. The oldest wild Roseate Spoonbill was discovered in the Florida Keys in 2006. The bird had been banded in 1990, and was an amazing 16 years old. The previous known longevity record for the species was seven years.
9. Roseate Spoonbills are highly social. They feed with each other and with other wading birds. They also nest in colonies and fly in flocks.
10. The Roseate Spoonbill was added to Birdorable on September 6th, 2011
    What is the difference between roseate spoonbill and Flamingo?
    In parts of their range, especially in Florida, Roseate Spoonbills are sometimes confused with another large pink wading bird: the flamingo. 4. There are six species of spoonbill in the world; the Roseate Spoonbill is the only one with pink plumage. 5. The Roseate Spoonbill is also the only spoonbill species found in the Americas. 6.
    All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill, an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish, it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. Roseate spoonbills are threatened by the destruction of their natural habitat. They also suffer from human disturbances, illegal hunting, and pesticides.

Does God consider duck a food we can eat? It is considered a clean bird by the Jews, but some people have questioned this. For example, some note that both (“Leviticus 11:18“And the Swanne, and the Pellicane, and the Gier-eagle,”) and Deuteronomy 14:16 in the King James Version list the swan as unclean, a bird that “shall not be eaten” (Leviticus 11:13, ~ “‘These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,). (So, when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth. Leviticus 17:13) {God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer. Genesis 21:20}

{Let’s Pray}

Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your beauty and also teaching us what is clean and not clean to eat. What beauty though You have in Your ducks and other species of birds. I thank You and praise You that they all have a purpose in Your plan. I thank You and praise You for all the times You put in my path different amazing things to take pictures of. I am in awe of all Your beauty and blessing me and bringing me closer to You each day. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: Deuteronomy 28:2

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
It reads in Jeremiah 1:4-5, ~The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
I saw this lady in HEB, and she was crying. I walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and I said are you alright and she smiled and said she was happy about something she was thinking about. I said I thought there was something wrong. She said no! But thank you for your concern. I told her have a blessed day. Then I went on and thought. Wow I was glad she was happy God and not sad. What a relief that was. I was glad she was happy. But this also made my day good.
It reads in Matthew 19:26, ~ But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Being strong means that after you are done crying, after it is all released from your system, you are able to wipe it off your face and go back to being normal. It means that you don’t allow your tears to fester and would rather let it flow down and with great joy and delight in the good again. Being strong doesn’t mean that you have it all together, but you will never give up. This doesn’t mean that you feel empowered every time you wake up, every time you look in the mirror. Being strong means that there are days when you would rather stay in bed, relax, but you pull yourself up and start your day anyway. Being strong is excepting and moving forward in your blessings.
{Prayer}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the model of Jeremiah who was used by You to tell both Jew and Gentile the message You gave Him to speak. I thank You and praise You for the prompt in Jeremiah that you formed each one of us in the womb. I thank You and praise You that You have planned every day of my life. Jeremiah the prophet who was willing to suffer hardship, loneliness, pain, and rejection for the furtherance of Your will kept His belief and was not ashamed of You. I thank You for Your word and the example of Jeremiah. I Believe that I will keep learning from this day forward. Let my life be declared sacred to You and that You would use me to fulfil Your will in my life. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
People make bad choices. We can’t get past that unless we ourselves make good choices. People will try and blame you for others bad choices, especially if you are a parent to them. It is not your fault because of any others bad choices. In fact, if someone is blaming you. Those blaming you are making bad choices. So, in all your ways acknowledge God, and he will make straight your paths. Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Where there is no guidance, a people fall, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. So, if we do make a bad choice We should never blame or be angry at God especially for our own foolishness, mistakes, and sins. We say things like, “God why didn’t you stop me from making that decision? Also do not blame God for other choices. They are responsible for their own choices. So, when others blame you and you did nothing wrong, immediately put this situation in God’s hands and let it go.

It reads in Proverbs 3:5-6, ~ Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, it is the desire of my heart to acknowledge You in every situation, everyway and every day. I love You, thank You and praise You that You are with me to lead and direct in all life’s decisions and to plant my feet on a straight path. I believe that not only in the difficult times but in every situation of life I will put my trust and I would acknowledge Your presence in everything. All times every moment of the day I believe that I will keep the eyes of my heart fixed firmly on Jesus in His Precious Name Amen.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart, they do no wrong but follow his ways. Psalm 119:1-3

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

It reads in Romans 11:33–36, ~ (NIV)
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

You know I have planted so many seeds in so many places, that sometimes I forget what I plant. I have planted seeds with my children, stepchildren, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and my spouse. So, when I see something all of a sudden growing from what I planted a few years back. I am like wow! I have been weed eating down these green beans every year. I let these weeds grow this year because I didn’t weed eat this part of the yard. It was a wow moment for me. A good memory that never grew till now. This is how life gets sometimes. We have to slow down and stop covering up our hard work. God shows us in ways that He has been working behind the scenes all along. God’s approval of us is in Jesus Christ. God will never reject us because we stumble, make mistakes or forget we planted something and not remember. When we pray, we put it in God’s hands and leave it there. Then we can go on. He will remind us in ways that He has been with us all along. Sometimes I will go back in my old journals and see where God has answered my prayers. Or where and when I planted certain seeds on what grows well in what soil and what doesn’t grow good in certain soils. I notice where I gave up on something that didn’t grow, and God will let it grow somewhere to remind me that everything eventually grows. So sometimes bad seed takes more time to grow. God grows all in His timing. I propagated two crepe Myrtle Branches last year and they didn’t grow. So, I left the branches in the ground. Well, this year a Crepe Myrtle is growing. Nothing from the other branch I thought. When I was cutting the grass the other day where the other branch was. There is a small 3-inch crepe Myrtle growing. So, I cut the grass around it. I got so excited I put a tomatoed fencing around it. Only God has this wisdom and knowledge, but it is a miracle to me. Just saying.

It reads in Romans 12:1-2, ~ Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will.

{Let’s Pray}

Father God of Your Church Holy Salvation. I want to sing as beautiful outside as inside. Never let me take Your love for me for granted. Let me sing praises to You all the days of my life for You alone are holy and deserve all the glory. You alone are the Lord. Your word is trustworthy and true. You have raised Your church up from the pit of destruction and seated all Your children together with Jesus Christ in heavenly places for which I thank You, praise Your holy name for ever and ever and give You all the honor and glory. I choose to serve You because You love and care for Your church and me and all my being in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

{Power Verse}
For all God’s words are right, and everything He does is worthy of our trust.

Psalm 33:4

Matthew 6:9-15 NIV
“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

The full armor of God that Christians are called to put on comprises the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Gospel of Peace, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit.
The idea of putting on the armor of God may seem like a means of protecting ourselves against physical harm. However, the actual meaning is more in line with putting on spiritual armor. “Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” It reads in {Ephesians 6:10-20, ~Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.}
To put on the full armor of God is to apply all of the Gospel to all of your life. The whole armor is the expression of your full trust in God and what He has done for you through Jesus Christ. Your victory in spiritual warfare was secured at the cross of Christ and the blood that was shed there:
