Good Morning Very Blessed, Saved By Grace, Co-Laborers! Amen! Praise God for those things too and prepare your hearts to worship, receive, pray and go love like Jesus.  we look at James 2. What's God saying to you as you worship? 

Check our the Upper Room's discussing on a season of change. Yes we were all one way changing into another. God knows that and made and equipped us for such a time as this. We all have purposes along the journey to Christlikeness and we all need help to get there! What gifts has God given you to help others? Whose gifts  might compliment yours in this journey? Check out the I to We devo too speaking about our teammates and purposes we are transitioning to. God has a plan for  and everyday of your life and He is moving you towards great fruit and joy as we work to become more like Jesus, doing what we can with what we've been given. May we be the best stewards of His grace and love through all the transitions of life! Amen! And doing so is an act of worship that leads to more worship! Amen!

See you soon! 

UR" A Season of Change

For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NRSVUE)

When I began my teaching career many years ago, I was responsible for decorating the bulletin board in the front entrance of the school. The board needed to be appealing, inspiring, and creative. It would also require a lot of time and preparation. Many times, I was unable to complete the board in one day, so I put up a sign that said, “Pardon me! I’m changing; I’m a work in progress!”

Since my retirement, I have experienced many challenges and changes in my life. I can’t do the things I used to do; at times I feel inadequate. I wonder

whether I am still able to do God’s work. Can God still use me? In this season of my life, despite my fears, I know I still need God’s pardon and grace. Yes, I am still a work in progress.

Then I think about the scripture that reads, “[God] who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6). What a comfort it is to know that God still heals, still restores, still gives us whatever we need to change from our way to God’s way!

's Prayer

O Lord, help us understand that change is a necessary part of life. Help us to use change in a positive way for our good and the good of others. Amen.
