Maybe this has all just been for me.
Don’t know how to be friends.
Don’t know how to study.
Don’t read that well.
Can’t spell worth beans.
Don’t always use the right words when speaking.
Am still a sinner.
Time spent with others is mostly wasted.
Time spent by myself is mostly wasted.
Don’t know how to be friends or make friends, have never really had a friend, except for my wife, have always been someone who sets alone, or in a group the one who doesn’t say much of anything.
Learned about the chain of command at a young age and that when you step out from under that chain you are uncovered, exposed and can easily be attacked.
That chain was:
Father God
Lord Jesus
Dad
Mom
me
At this time in my life is:
Father God
Lord Jesus
me
Wife
Kids
My responsibility:
First; is to Father God and my Lord, Christ Jesus and to follow His precepts and commandments.
To love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind and soul, and to love my neighbor as myself.
Second; humble myself before my Lord Jesus, repent of my sins and seek His Kingdome and His righteousness.
Third; is to protect and provide for my Wife.
As Christ does for His bride the Church.
Fourth; is to live a Godly life, be available for biblical advice, insight and direction for my kids and now grandkids.
life to be sen daily and advice given when asked for.
The fifth; is to share the gospel of Christ with those Christ brings into my path.
Other than the above i have no purpose.
And at most of this i fell i have failed greatly.
My wife and i are now 69 and 70, have been together for over 50 years, both having the years caching up with us, not moving around that well, lack of physical stability, and are now looking at the possibly of being homeless in another month posably two.
We live in an area that is harsh in winter, can dip down to -20 for weeks, and windy.
So will be interesting living in our little truck canopy, in the wilderness, this coming winter.
Not enough invome to rent even a cheap place.
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And i will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
What more could we ever need or want than to be in the arms of Jesus our Lord and savior.
The one who gave of Himself so that our debt of sin we could and cannot ever pay, has paid that debt for us.
The one we owe are all to, Christ our LORD Jesus.
The one who rose from the dead, victories over death hell and the grave.
The one who said
“I go and prepare a place for you, I will come aging and receive you to Myself, that where i am there you may be also.”
Come quickly Lord Jesus come.
We have no checking account nor worldly savings,
we have few worldly possessions,
we have but only a skimpy monthly retirement income,
and now it look as if in a month or two we will not have a home in this world.
But then for over 55 years i have said
“this world is not my home.”
Jesus said our needs will be met, so our trust is in Him.
Matthew 6:25-34
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they?
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?
You of little faith!
Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’
or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Lord our lives are in your hands, we choose to trust in you.
Show us the path we are to go down, Amen and Amen
This world is not our home!
Our treasure is in heaven!
Lord Jesus we need Your direction.
Holy Spirit teach us what we are needing to learn.
Thank you for your prayers.
out for now.
