Daily Buffet

It’s Friday ! Yeah!  Including today, there’s only 12 left in this year.  12 Marbles.  Make sure you make them count!  Keep on doing.  And while you are, maybe these words will guide you to keep your eyes focused on those important things.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

and the end

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Saw this on Facebook last night. It seemed appropriate to share with all of my readers!

Sorry, I had an early morning travel day today, so here’s a little something that has been floating around me head.

¹¹ We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. James 5:11 (NASB)

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him.
—Philippians 1:29

 

Count those trials as blessings!

Its Friday! Yeah!  As we head into the weekend, here’s a quick reminder that no matter what burden you may be carrying today it pales in comparison of the glory that awaits.

¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

It’s sort of interesting that I now understand those prayers that I heard when I was young describing the greatness of the hope that we have.
