THIS is the day

 Friday, September 27, 2024 (5:19 a.m.)

Blessed, Holy God,

Thank You! THIS is the day that You have made. I WILL rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm118:24). Thank You. Yes!

The Message says, “This is the very day GOD acted - let’s celebrate and be festive!” Yes. Let’s!

Celebrate. Be festive. Rejoice. Be glad. These are the actions I want to take today. 

Singing. Smiling. Standing firm. Staying my mind on You. Your Word of Truth and promises.

Glorifying and enJOYing You. All the while honoring the life here on our earth of our much loved patriarch. Celebrating [and being festive!] his eternal life there with You.

Thank You for blessing us with Your presence Dear Lord. Thank You that the giant 100 year old oak that fell at the cemetery yesterday fell yesterday. Without incident. Or injury.

Thank You for time spent with family and friends last evening. Thank You for the opportunity to do it again today. This day! That You have made.

Use me. Use us. Use this occasion to truly love You, others and ourselves. With all of our hearts, souls, minds and strength (Mark 12:30-31).

Do all You must that life spent eternally with You is our takeaway from this day of rejoicing and being glad. Celebrating and being festive.

I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Thank You that I do. ♪Have Thine Own Way Lord Have This own way You are the Potter We are the clay Make us and mold after Thy will While we are waiting yielded and still♪

Yes Father. These lyrics. This day. Search me. Try me. Wash me whiter than snow. ♪As in Thy presence humbly I bow… Hold o’er my being Absolute sway Filled with Thy spirit till all can see Christ only always living in me♪

Yes. Please. That! Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
