8 Days of Giving Thanks! |Thanksgiving 2019

Via The Gospel Heral Life

We shift gears today to be thankful:

This month is a reminder for me about how precious life is. With my mom passing on about this time (a week ago) in 1993. To say that I have sweet and sour memories in November is an understatement. But as my brother in the LORD Michael Nuñez very thankfully explains about his mom, I have the same memory of my mom. She was the most faithful person I have ever met. Her debilitating rheumatoid Arthritis never kept her from trusting in God or grumbling to God, at least not in front of her children.

Even more of perfect timing, Michael did not know my mom passed on around this time, and when I asked him to write something he was thankful for, he sent this. In God’s perfect timing, I picked my brother in Christ because of what he has written in past years, always starting on the first day of November.

Michael is one of the few who has been doing this and I want to celebrate it!

Take a look at what he wrote for today’s Thanksgiving Month:

Day 20 of Thankfulness… Yesterday I made mention that I was thankful because I get to instruct my son in the way of the Lord. Today I am thankful for my mother, who did just that, teach me about Jesus. To cry out to him, to seek his forgiveness and guidance, and so much more. (My Dad played a significant role as well, but this is about my mom, not Dad.. she was not perfect (neither am I), but she was perfect for me (as I am to her) Missing you today. Proverbs22:6

Life is Fast, God is Faster!

This was my original post for January 1st, but it will be the second one for the New Year…. 

…12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.…

It’s New Year’s Eve, as Mary and I sit waiting for our hotel room to be ready, I see people who are also waiting. It looks like some people have been waiting here for a while. They are asleep in corners of the lobby waiting for four o’clock to get here soon.

 

The way that they are just lying around or sitting doing nothing makes me think about how precious and fast life is.

Time is but a fleeting moment. One minute you are young and viral, ready to take on the world, the next minute you are face to face with your Creator. Not that my life is at its end because I’m still young enough to set a few more life goals. But, one never knows when your time to pass from this life into the next is. The Bible states that tomorrow is not promised to any person.* 

Some people live life-like they have a ton of days still and waste the preciousness of it all. When people get to the point that I mention above, you know the point where you’re hitting your late 40s or are in your 50s, you understand. This is the point where some people realize that their lives have passed on by quickly

This is where a good percentage of people go through what people call a mid-life crisis.

This mid-life crisis is something that can be avoided by knowing in what stage or period of time your life is in.

On my next post, I will write about goal setting. How to make sure that what God has placed in your heart is indeed coming from God or if it is just a passing fancy of yours. Hint..read Matthew’s gospel chapter 6 verse 32 and beyond…
