Graceway

If you have been impacted in a positive way from anyone let them know now.
If you care about someone don’t stay mad or hold a grudge. Forgive them and hug their neck.
Life is so short.
I remember taking offf with my fishing pole in hand at the age of 7 walking the brook and river fishing. A blink later and I am 54 years old.
All my children are grown and on their own with one grand baby.
The Bible teaches time doe not wait for no one. Our tomorrows are not guaranteed.
Tell those who you do life with how much you appreciate them and how they have impacted your life. Hug a neck, kiss a forehead.
I am not going through a mid life crises.
But I have conducted enough funerals to know many regrets from loved one and friends that wished they had a do over and tell the deceased how much they cared about them.
Tell the living how you feel.
The Bible is clear, this is the day that the Lord has made. Tomorrow is not here yet and yesterday is gone. Today is the day to seize and make things right and forgive with those we hold a grudge towards and call someone this morning or tell a coworker thank you for being a friend- tell them how much you appreciate them.
Today is the day, you may not have tomorrow to say what should have been said today.
Something to think about.

This morning I am thinking intentional.
We need to be intentional with our walk with Jesus. A relationship with Jesus is 7 days a week 24 hours a day for the entire year.
So many have a Sunday morning fling or spend sometime with Jesus during the holidays.
If people would be intentional with their personal life walk with Jesus, maybe when life throws a curve ball we would not get depressed, doubt and blame God for not living us. Instead we would lift up Jesus name over the cirxumstances and see God’s miracles becomes life’s realities.
Christianity is not just a title people wear as a badge.
Christianity is a life style and attitude of the mind and soul that is centered on Jesus, intentionally walking life with Jesus leading the way.
An intentional Christian life is knowing no matter what Jesus is in control.
People fear the word cancer more than trusting in Jesus the healer and redeemer of our soul.
Today I know God is saying to us all to be intentional with our daily walk with Him and when we are intentionally building a personal relationship with Jesus we begin to understand He values us so far above the value we place in ourselves. He is so trustworthy and His love for us has no end. This can only be learned and experienced from intentionally seeking Jesus.
Jesus is intentional with all He does.
Father God was intentional when He sent Jesus to redeem and set us free. God was intentional when He formed us in our mother’s womb, we are not accidents but valued and God’s purpose and affections are deep within us.
Being intentional means doing things with a meaningful purpose for a meaning full end.
Christianity is not for the faint of heart but for those who are willing to bring the Hope and Light of Jesus to a lost and dying world.
How about it? Awe going to be intentional with Jesus today or are we going to complain and stay afraid of the world and what it says?
I chose to be intentional and personal with Jesus today and for the rest of my life. To share His hope and light to a lost and fearful world!
I for one will be intentional with and for Jesus!

What an amazing day in the house of the Lord.
Great fellowship and a great afternoon of men witnessing of the goodness of God in their lives.
I can say without doubt after hearing what God has done in these men’s personal lives, He is not dead but very much alive!
Praise the Lord!
