Shalom, My Sweet Readers,

What a day!  The kitchen is bare, but ready for the painters tomorrow.  I am excited to get this going.  Taking things down, created a huge amount of dust and dog hair.  I have swept several times and it needs it again.  I will be so happy to have  fresh clean looking walls.  If they do a good job, they will come back and do the living room and hall way and then on to the bedrooms.  I only want to do a little at a time.

Church was amazing today.  The preacher is great and delivers great emotion and love.  He talked on the last days and about being ready.  This is the reading he used:

 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
                                2 Timothy 3: 1-5

The last days are near.  I have seen all of the above.  These traits are all over Facebook, television and within families.  I am ready to be called into the heavens to sit with my Father. Time does not stand still. What a wonderful day that will be.  The worship music blended with  this message.  I am so blessed.  John even went with me to church.  I pray he filled his heart with the Holy Spirit.

Last night when I was closing up the computer, I found this amazing photo.  I couldn't wait to share it with you. As the sheep grazed the shepherd prepared for safety.  I wonder if he built this or if it was
was left by another shepherd.  Where they placed all over the pasture land?  I love how the shepherd is the gatekeeper.  Always prepared for danger.  The Great Shepherd today is our gatekeeper.


The word for today is:  Protect and the verse paired with it is Psalm 91:11.  God is so amazing to provide this photo with the word for today.  Protect means to cover or shield from exposure, injury damage or destruction;  Guard or defend.  This was taken from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.  
                                                               Psalm 91:11

I am always amazed how perfect his created plan is. It never gets old.  He prepared me at the birth of my children to be a gatekeeper.  That is why I never give up hope.  And want to watch over them.  The prayers of a mother avail much.  He will not leave them behind because I have prayed over and over that my whole household to serve Him.  What a glorious day to look forward too.

The promise for today is: I am the everlasting God.  Psalm 90:2

Time to rest and sleep in the arms of Jesus.  It is so reassuring to know He sends angels to sleep and watch in the doorway.  I pray you find that rest tonight also. 

Love is in the ink.
Love, Mary Kay
