My Reflections

The Just Are Very Blessed.

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Proverbs 10:6-7
6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

What do these verses say about the differences between the just and the wicked? Which category do you and the people you know fall in?

Answer:
I know people from both categories. When the wicked die, people are not sad to see them go, sometimes their own families. I have known very just people who’s funeral’s we're larger than the building could accommodate because of all the good the person had done. Violence is not of God. God is a God of peace.

Scripture writing - Acts 28:6-10

Scripture:
6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

Observations:
Verse 6- since no harm came to Paul after the snake bit him, the people off the island thought he was a god.
Verse 7- A chief man of the island lodged them there 3 days out of courtesy.
Verse 8- The man’s father became ill. So Paul prayed for him soit was healed.
Verse 9- when other people heard of this, others came to be healed.
Verse 10- They were able to leave the island with everything that was necessary to finish their journey.

Application:
One good deed deserves another.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for providing everything we need. Thank you for your healing power. You are an awesome God.
In christ's name,
Amen

Discuss something you learned from your grandparents. Did they give you advice? If so what was it about?

I only knew my grandmothers. My grandfathers passed away before I was born. My Dad's mother taught me to be a strong independent woman. My mom's mom taught me the value of taking care of family and hard work.

Springtime Allergies

Spring is allergy season for me.
I don't want to hear the buzzing bee.
Sneezing, blowing the nose,
I shouldn't smell the rose.
With allergies life can be messy.
