Opened my eyes and what did I see? A deer bedded down so beautifully!

She was chewing “bubblegum” just beyond the fallen tree!  Okay maybe not bubblegum, but doing what she was made to do!

The wind blew, the rain fell, the deer must have been at the buffet all night long … seemingly unaffected by the storm!

And that fallen tree … think also of you and me … A seed springs up, a tree grows strong … BUT strong as it may when those roots get disturbed, the wind is powerful … it breaks in the middle [smack into] and falls to the ground!  A massive, powerful and unimaginable thing!

What a sight to see!

Oh how I wish I could have seen what all went on outside last night … while I was resting in the house and protected all night!

Creation is a beauty to see! And in that Creation, we can understand more about the Creator!  THE CREATOR, whom we call God and some Father God … the same One who loves you and me and all He has made!

And now I can only imagine … and think of Jesus and all God has done to bring us back to a place of the goodness in Creation!

Now the sun comes up and a new day is dawning and I just simply say, Thank you Lord that tree landed so nicely! … and thank you Father for this day Today … Thank you Jesus that you didn’t run and hide from me!

 

 NOW let’s read the Word of God in Ephesians Chapter One and Verses 5-7:

…5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace…

 

May we live to be “for the praise of the glory of His grace…Ephesians 1:6…” and thank God for something good Today …

 

“And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17).”

 

Feel free to thank God here!  Let’s bring some shouts of praise to God on this wonderful day!

 

Let’s give God some Praise Today!

“And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17).”

“So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son (Ephesians 1:6 NLT).”

 

 ETERNALLY Grateful BEGINS in Life with God IN Jesus Christ TODAY  …

 

SOLO DEO GLORIA! TO GOD be & IS & is to come … THE GLORY of His glorious grace …

 

I hope you know how much God loves you!  If you need help believing over your doubts that you are well-loved by God, visit my website @ www.hopeintoday.com or read our ministries’ book:  The Train Whistle, Sounding the Call of God’s Love www.thetrainwhistle.com

BUT mostly know that I am praying with you along with others on this For God’s Glory Alone Ministry website!  It may seem unimaginable that “strangers” would care to pray for you, but that is just the glory of God’s Grace in the Power of God’s Son and evidence of Faith … those things not seen, but powerful!

 

Love in Christ,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
