SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Matthew 24:1-3

 ¹ As Jesus left the Temple and was walking away, his followers came up to show him the Temple's buildings. ²Jesus asked, "Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground."

 ³ Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his followers came to be alone with him. They said, "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that it is time for you to come again and for this age to end?"

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Loving Father, I am full of gratitude today as I consider Your abiding presence in my life, day in and day out.  You planned my existence in my mother’s womb even before I drew my first breath.  While so many people have come into my life and exited over the years You abide with me forever.  When the path before me is unclear You always go before me sustaining me in my wilderness journeys. Though all forsake me You remain faithful.  Remarkable as it seems, even if I  am faithless, You will remain faithful, for You cannot deny Yourself.  Thank You for being my Supreme Savior and the Sustainer of my soul.  In Jesus Name, Amen.”

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
