Last night
Garrett hollored as he always does...."Mammmmaaaaa" I answer, yes sweetie, and always if followed up by, "COME HERE". Okay buddy, G, close your eyes...and he hands me a sweet handful on peonies.
A little later that evening as he is entering the back door, "Mama" close your eyes I have more flowers for you...so I did....well here is what was in my face when I opened my eyes!!!! Open your eyes Mama, heres a kiss for you....Little Rat!!!!!
Here is a picture of Toad...flowers and the top of my China Hutch...I so love my new gold walls in the dining room with my Ruby Red dishes.
Scripture today:
Sealed By God
Today's Scripture
“…I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the LORD Almighty” (Haggai 2:23).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
We don’t often hear about signet rings anymore; but in Bible times, they were very significant. The signet ring was used to identify the message or messenger and the authority they had. In other words, you knew something was from the king because it was marked by His signet ring. It was representative of power and authority. This verse is saying that you are the mark of authority of Almighty God. You have been chosen and set apart to be identified with Him. When you have someone’s power and authority, you have access to everything they have. It’s like having power of attorney; you have the authority to act on behalf of that individual. As a believer in Jesus, marked with His seal, think of all you have access to today. Think about the authority you have. Everything He has is available to you—healing, provision, strength, peace, joy. You have been given authority to “sign His name” in order to receive His blessings. You are God’s seal, and you are marked to live the abundant life He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me and calling me Your own. Help me to fully understand the authority You’ve given by Your Son Jesus. I receive all You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Have a blessed and wonderful day!
