It's so nice to have our house decorated with flowers.
Women ... always have a vase, an arrangement, a plant ... to embellish, bring nature into your home.
Husbands, boyfriends, children, friends,... if you do not have the habit of always from time to time, give flowers to women in your life, make it a habit. It's so nice when we receive flowers from who we love. Since our first date my husband gave me a little arrangement of flowers, and still nowadays, once in while he gives me some. I love to receive flowers. But sometimes we can buy for ourselves.
May our homes be an oasis of peace and grace!
May we make our home a heaven.
Amen
God bless you!

The Daily Devotional is an intimate time we devote to be alone or with family with God, to hear His voice and know His will. It is paramount to grow in faith and build up our home and our being on the Christ Rock.
There are several ways to make a Daily Devotional I wrote here as my husband and I have done, but each one may have their own inspiration and how best to realize it.
Nowadays we are using the devotional booklet: Our Daily Bread, which is helping us also to read the Bible In One Year.
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A DEVOTIONAL
READING THE WORD: When we started to practice the Daily Devotional we chose randomly, a chapter of Scripture, but now we will read chapters followed. For example start with Matthew chapter one the first day and the second will read the second day and so on, until we complete the reading of all the Gospels and after the Old Testament and the whole Bible. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God."
The Word opens your eyes, makes the weak be strong again, renewed, instructs, brings out flaws and make necessary cuts, driving in all decisions to be made. You can read the morning just a verse and then the night reading the entire chapter. The best is to do the all Devotional at the morning to start the day with strength. Only the Word of God has the power to completely renew our minds and our lives. If you have never read the entire Bible, put this as a goal for your life.
- Believe the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) that Jesus died for your sin, was buried, and has risen from the grave. (Mark 16:16)
- Confess that Jesus is the Son of God.(Acts 8:37) (Romans10:9-10)
- Repent of the sin inyour life.(Luke 13:3) (Acts 2: 38) - Be baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of your sin. (Acts 2:38)
- Be faithful until death (Matthew 10:22) (Revelation 2:10)
"You have been raised to life with Christ, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on his throne at the right side of God".(Colossians 3.1)
It is amazing that we can receive the abundant and eternal Life that Jesus gives us daily! Praise the Lord we can be so blessed! Thank you Jesus! We love you! We will praise you for all eternity!
Some people think that we will receive the eternal Life only in the eternity, but it is not true according to the Word:
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent". (John 17.3)
If we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and if we are in His Word WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE! When we know Him, the only and enough Savior and Lord God, Jesus Christ, we know the eternal life!
Thank you Jesus you took all our diseases on the cross as it is in Isaiah 53.4 and 1 Peter 2.24! We are healed and we have full life!
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, THOUGH HE WERE DEAD, WILL LIVE. AND WHOSOEVER LIVE AND BELIEVE IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE" (John 11:25-26).
I do not have words to praise you! I just would like to show I am not shame of the Gospel because it is the power of the Lord to save everyone who want to be save!
PRAISE THE LORD! I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE! TRUE LIFE!
I will never die, spite of my body will be dead, I will live and if I am living and believing in Him I shall never die! You can have eternal life also! (Click here to see how).
I love you Jesus, with all my heart, mind and soul!

"If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own". (Mathew 6.30-34)
May the Lord bless and protect you with His Kingdom.
