Matthew 18:19-20 Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”

These days for so many, that is a difficult question to find the answer to. I will be and have been on self quarantine for the duration of this pandemic. I have been blessed to have my eyes open to many things that I am so very grateful to. I woke up this morning to greet another day. I am looking out my window to see how spring is budding out and the music from our birds singing  glorious music. At night when I let my two dogs out, I listen to the peaceful quiet that is occasionally broken by a cricket or two creating their own music and I see the moon poking out from behind a fluffy cloud. All these things and more are the creations from God. No matter where your thoughts go, believe me there is someone out there in your community who is sharing the same thought. As you are reading, I am praying that I have been able to help you see that as hard as these times are, that you are able to see the beauty that is all around you that has been given to all of us from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is in all things, He is all around us and He is with us always. So don’t be bashful, you are all deserving…..talk to Him and share your gratefulness, ask for whatever is weighing on you, He is ever present to you and in all things, always.

May Jesus embrace you all in his most loving, healing arms…

May Jesus bring you a peace of heart that is all consuming….

May you see Jesus in all things……..

May you feel the closeness of Jesus morning, noon and night……..

I pray this in Christ’s name

Amen
