Sisters of the Son (final)

Good Morning on this auspicious morning!  Now you may ask...what makes today auspicious?  Well this day is a gift from God.  This day is another opportunity to tell someone about what Jesus Christ did for you.  And it is an opportunity for me to tell you just a last little bit from the conference I attended.

John 7:37  King James Version (KJV)

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


Luke 24 5b-8

Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
And they remembered his words,

Isn't my God amazing...I know, I know, My God isn't just my God, he is every bodies God, or He can be.  
In the first verse, Jesus is talking, or should I say he is crying out to the people that will hear Him....you can have eternal life if you will just believe on Jesus.
In the next verses, the three Mary's have gone to the  tomb to attend to the body of Jesus, can you imagine their surprise when they realized that Jesus wasn't there.  And I think that because they probably didn't truly understand what it was that Jesus had said to them, oh they had heard the words...but sometimes reality is so much more!  Especially for these women who loved Jesus so deeply...they didn't fully comprehend until the angel spoke to them here in Luke Chapter 24.  Then I think they had full comprehension of what exactly Jesus had said to them.  Now they understood what Jesus meant!  If anyone had a "vision for spreading the gospel to all the nations" (as spoken by Dottie Schmidt),these three women did!  Our god is so amazing!  And if you want to spread the gospel of Jesus, ask the Lord to place this on your heart...and study, study study, get to to know the words of the Lord!  Get to know the Lord!

Have you ever wondered why God didn't give you what you most desired? Well Dottie  did after the election, this past presidential election, Dottie asked the Lord in prayer why was the outcome of the election as it was, and this is what Dottie  said that God told her,"If I would have given my people what they prayed for, they would have relaxed."  Now I don't know about you, but to me this is very profound and insightful. This sounds to me like God definitely has His hands in what is going on.  We may not like what is transpiring these days, but it is up to us to change what is happening and with God, all things are possible.

And lastly, as we were in the process of ending the conference, one of the things that is heavy on Dottie Schmidt's heart is that we as parents and grandparents need to make sure that our children and grandchildren understand the dire need of telling people about Christ and what He did for us, that we might have eternal life,"Gather as many as possible from the darkness into the light!"

On this note I will end what I took away from the conference, but mind you I learned so much more than what I wrote on theses pages.  The fellowship with like minded women was so inspiring, and should I have the opportunity to do this again, I will.

Now it is time for you to be a blessing to someone today.  So God bless you and then go and share it!
