I watched with millions yesterday as Prince William married commoner, Catherine Middleton. I've always loved fairy tales, and this is a true tale of how the prince fell in love with his Cinderella...an ordinary girl!
I'm thankful that no one is ordinary in the sight of God. He loves each one of us, just as if there was only one of us! We are all special in His sight...just as the song we sang in our childhood says, "...Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight; Jesus loves the little children of the world."
The Bible teaches that one day Jesus will come back to get all of His children...all of those who love His appearing..."For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in this present age; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed..." Titus 2:11-14
If we have trusted in Him, we are called the bride of Christ, and He is our bridegroom...our prince, who will come back to get us one day!
"At midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet Him.'" Matthew 25:6
Are you ready?

New Life
I love the sound of new life! I currently have baby birds chirping outside of my window, and it is a delightful sound to wake up to! I also have a new grandson, and his little "chirpings" are also delightful to my ears!!
I spent all of last week with Cooper and one day, when he was almost in "la-la land," he got the biggest grin on his face and laughed out loud. His GG, my mother, said, "Isn't that a little early?" to which I replied, "Probably... but he's brilliant! What can I say??" GG went on to say that maybe Cooper was seeing angels...isn't that the sweetest thought? Now when he smiles, I prefer not to think that it is gas, but I ask him if he is seeing angels!
Do you know that there are angels all around us? If you have trusted in Christ as your Savior, He has given you a new life and assures you that when you die, you will go to live forever with Him in heaven. Until that day, His Word says, "For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands..." Psalm 91:11-12
What do I have to fear or to dread? Nothing!! The Lord, Himself, has sent His angels to watch over me...and my little Cooper!
Awesome!!

A Good Day
"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
The Lord has commanded us to rejoice and be glad, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be. He says, "All things work together for good to those who love Him; to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Knowing this, why do we not rejoice and give Him thanks for all things instead of trying to 'fix' things ourselves? We want to be in control...we want to help God out...but, He does not need us! This earth is the Lord's and all it contains...even the people who dwell in this world belong to Him. He controls everything! I am thankful today and rejoice in the fact that I don't have to worry about anything...only trust Him, our Sovereign God, with all the details of my life; knowing He is in control of all things and working them out for my good and for His glory!
