"Only Life Changes"

Though it is a natural human trait, bitterness can and should be worked through and overcome.

Now also when I am old and grey-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to everyone that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Psalms 71:18-21

God’s sandpaper people of yesterday, can be His masterpiece today.
Just saying.

This child that gave up their drawing, because they thought it was not good enough. Critiquing
this;

I see a cross on the ground, whereas Christ died for our sins. I see the other two crosses on a hill.
I see people standing around the cross. I see a heart in between the cross on the ground and the two still standing. Between the two could be the entrance to the tomb. the white lightening over the tomb, could be when Jesus rose from the dead. I see a 4 at the top of the cross on the ground. That represents, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and you or me in eternity.
Art is amazing.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Psalms 150

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
Psalms 119: 50

Every family can choose to serve the Lord.

Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Esther 2:5-7

Every family can choose to serve the Lord.

Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:14-15

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, Our Father, let my greatgrandchildren, grandchildren, and children always give you thanks in everything. Thank You in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

1 Thessalonians 2:13

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Ephesians 5:20
