Bible in a Year:
From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise.
After meeting the Queen of England at a ball in Scotland, Sylvia and her husband received a message that the royal family would like to visit them for tea. Sylvia started cleaning and prepping, nervous about hosting the royal guests. Before they were due to arrive, she went outside to pick some flowers for the table, her heart racing. Then she sensed God reminding her that He’s the King of kings and that He’s with her every day. Immediately she felt peaceful and thought, “After all, it’s only the Queen!”
Sylvia is right. As the apostle Paul noted, God is the “King of kings and Lord of lords” (1 Timothy 6:15) and those who follow Him are “children of God” (Galatians 3:26). When we belong to Christ, we’re heirs of Abraham (v. 29). We no longer are bound by division—such as that of race, social class, or gender—for we’re “all one in Christ Jesus” (v. 28). We’re children of the King.
Although Sylvia and her husband had a marvelous meal with the Queen, I don’t anticipate receiving an invitation from the monarch anytime soon. But I love the reminder that the highest King of all is with me every moment. And that those who believe in Jesus wholeheartedly (v. 27) can live in unity, knowing they’re God’s children.
How could holding onto this truth shape the way we live today?
Reflect & Pray
How do the daily distractions and discontent of others draw your focus away from God? What will help you to keep your eyes on Jesus?
Loving God, thank You for all You’ve done for me! I’m amazed at the great lengths You went to so that I could find joy in You. Help me to keep my focus firmly on You.
A Blessed Passover/Palm Sunday to all my Beloved FReepers!

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Passover/Palm Sunday to you and yours.
Did you bring Blue home today?
I did! :-)
It was a lovely day for it too! :-)
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
WOOHOO...Blue is home til next winter.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
Happy Palm Sunday
And to our Jewish FReepers,
Good evening, radu....and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.
You still have internet, so does that mean things have settled down, or is the bad stuff still in the offing?
Mostly sunny here today, but some foggy patches and some pretty stiff winds off and on.
Awesome news!
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.
Did you have a good day of rest and relaxation?
Good evening, luvie...are you safely home?
A Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours, and thank you for the hymns.
Howdy, Kathy.
Yes, we’re still in one piece here but that’s only because the “fun” hasn’t reaches us yet. We’ve had brief heavy showers all day and now they’re coming through with a little lightning and thunder.
The main event is supposed to roll over us around 3 or 4 in the morning. We’ll see if we still have internet after that. LOL
The fog must have stayed in town today since I didn’t notice any at the airport. Clouds came and went but no fog out there. The wind was definitely there. I had to turn the speakers off, it was so noisy blowing across the mic.
