I don’t want to look back on my life with regrets, Things left undone, Words left unspoken. Did I give enough? Did I love enough? Did I live enough? Life is a beautiful gift of God, And time waits for no one. It is fleeting. It passes you by. It rolls on forever Like the clouds in the sky, So don’t let us throw one sweet moment away. Let’s love While we may. Give what you can, Whenever you can, However you can, By whatever means you can Without expecting anything in return. Love with all your heart. You can never love too much. And don’t forget to live. I mean, really live! Make life a beautiful adventure Because it truly is. Leave no room for regrets. Cherish the moments spent With those you love. Life changes, But a life breathed with love Will forever remain. ♥️🌹♥️

Memories of a life well lived are but a treasure only to be imprinted in the hearts of those we love. Make sure they are good ones.
I got a letter in the mail today From a faraway place, let’s just say.
It was addressed specifically to me. I was very excited, don’t you see.
I opened it and, to my delight, There written in black and white
A message from the God of grace To tell me that He has prepared a place.
I’m sending you this letter from home To remind you that you’re never alone.
Someday, you will look upon my face And, in the Holy place, we will finally embrace.
I’m waiting patiently for that special day When I can answer all that you’ve prayed.
Do not be afraid when your heart is heavy From the burdens of life that are scary.
When you don’t know what to do I will carry and will deliver you.
Keep looking towards the cross! I sent down my perfect Son to save the lost.
I’m sending this letter right along To tell you to continue to stay strong.
And someday, you will take my hand. We will walk together along the crystal white sands.
My child, I promise it won’t be too long When we will read all the letters from home.

– A Thought For Today ~
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home. – St. Augustine of Hippo
~ Verse of The Day ~
“Ye are our epistle (letter) written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle (letter) of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” – 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 KJV
As I entered the room, I turned to take a look And thereupon the table Was a beautiful book.
Laying beside it was a lovely rose, So supple, delicate and frail. Through my window winds, Oh, so softly blow. The fragrance filled the air. I wondered who put it there.
I walked a little closer To take a better look. My eyes filled with joy As I opened the book.
I held the book up high As I looked at the title. I smiled and started to cry Realizing it was my bible.
There in black and white Were the Words of God. His manual given to us To teach, instruct and guide.
So softly, I heard Him whisper. My heart glistened and gleaned. As I leaned in closer to listen, His presence was felt but unseen.
Daughter, I love you dearly. Yes, this is very true. This is my love letter clearly Written just for you.
My heart could not contain The admiration I deeply felt. His Love will forever remain. In solace, before Him, I knelt.
Today, God gave me a rose, A gentle expression of His love. To show how He often bestows His grace from heaven above.
With gratitude, the Bible I chose. Word of God speak! My blessed book of roses. A true treasure to keep.

~ A Prayer For Today ~
Heavenly Father, Your love for me is astounding. From the flowers in the field. Their beautiful fragrance fills the air. From the birds singing in the trees. Oh, how I love their sweet melodies. From the mountain tops high above the clouds. I can’t help, but wonder how far and wide your love abounds. From the oceans deep. Your love for me runs even deeper. Lord, of all the wonderful blessings you have given, my most valued treasure is Your Word. Help me, Father, to always cherish Your Word and keep it close to my heart. Your guidebook is essential to walking in communion with you. For without it, Your children would be lost. Help me, to continually apply scripture to my everyday life and living. So that I may know the right path to take when the storms of life begin to rage. Thank you, Father, for the gift of the Bible. Your inspired, infallible and authoritative written Word, is my most prized possession. As your humble servant, may I walk worthy of such a valuable gift. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
