Happy Landing

00427A Happy Landing

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because,

having stood the test,

that person will receive the crown of life

that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”

(James 1 vs. 12)

            Perseverance is life, we need to persevere in many ways and the easiest way is through meditation, prayer, and having the faith that the Lord will bring us through our lives. We all hope for an easy life without illness or discomfort; always having a job; a life partner to share things with, and the list goes on. In other words, we want to be born to live happily ever after!

           

It is a beautiful sunny day in Minnesota and we are in the nearing the end of what has been an easy winter for the weather. Today, we are still shut down due to COVID-19, but persevering! Government reports seem better, but there are also forecasts for follow up waves and epidemics; this is part of our journey!

           

            Recently a local church posted the following on their sign, “Life is not about having a bumpy flight. It is about having a smooth landing!” We need to keep our faith to persevere on this bumpy ride to receive that …crown of life”. Remember, the best part will be the landing!

Thought for Today: Today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Let us be spiritual and use it well.

Prayer for Today: Dear Father, we are experiencing a very bumpy ride. Concerns about this virus are magnifying all the world’s problems. We give thanks for having the faith to get through it so we may experience the landing.
