Scripture
Observation
I love how this sentence opens: "All God's people". We, too, are God's people!
According to my main reference for this
study, The Layman's Bible Commentary, those belonging to Caesar's household servants - both slave and
freemen. Again, can you imagine their joy upon hearing those words
as they circled around the one reading the letter?
Application
I am deeply humbled by the words, "All of God's people", especially as I realize I am one of God's people. I am His.
His child.
His child.
His child.
So are you, dear reader.
And
whatever we have gone through,
whatever mistakes we have made,
whatever traumas we have been through,
We. Are. God's. Child.
Period.
Prayer
LORD, thank you for adopting me as Your child, for sending Your love for me. Regardless of ANY AND ALL circumstances, I know I have a Father who loves me - and my readers.
Abba, please make this knowledge real to them as well!
I Like!
Truly stop and visit LeeAnn at Not Afraid of Color to see the most interesting pictures and meet some amazing people!
This first picture is from an "I Like" post I started last year! Glad I found it!
I love taking walks with my grandchildren. One is 8 and the other is 7. I told them about LeeAnn's "I Like" Thursdays, and they wanted to participate! Here are their likes!
Autumn leaves
hanging around till now.

A cactus waiting
for water and Spring time!
A kind neighbor
puts out fresh water
for all the doggies
who are walking their humans.
Mia usually takes a long drink
when we pass by her house.

The ramp on this house caught
my grandson's attention.
I've noticed that he
immediately notices
unique features in homes.
Now, my three-year-old
grandson wanted in
on the action as well.
He wanted you to see
his motorcycle
and the flower
that he picked for me!
Here's a like of my own!
I made this cute little Abbey Bag at my sewing group on Saturday! It's a great little pincushion, scrap bag and mini tool holder all in one! The pattern is from Abbey Lane Quilts.
Now I have one on my sewing table and one on my cutting table.
Won't you join me at these linkups?
Thank you for visiting & commenting!
I so love reading and responding
to them!
In fact,
I find myself smiling
as I read them and write responses!
