Your Day Is Coming

Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Revelation 3:11

Some of you have never won a prize in your life. Oh, maybe you were quartermaster in your Boy Scout troupe or in charge of sodas at the homeroom Christmas party, but that's about it. You've never won much. You have watched the Mark McGwires (insert your favorite sport star) of this world carry home the trophies and walk away with the ribbons. All you have are "almosts" and "what-if's".

If that hits home, then you will cherish this promise, "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away" (1Peter 5:4 NIV).

Your day is coming, what the world has overlooked, your Father has remembered, and sooner than you can imagine, you will be blessed by Him.

And the Winner Is

Yes, I do believe from the ladies willing to 'fess up (comment) that we have a winner!
The lady by the name of Love has won.
__Well, alright, this really wasn't a contest - just a time of fun.

Much unlike Esther's beauty treatments and contest to win the crown.
In the process to gain the crown she "gained some favor"
I wonder early this morning how will we go about our day?
Will I/we be full of "grace and truth" or exercise charm which
can be very deceptive.
What is my/your motivation?........The "crown"or My Eternal King?

Watch for another reading tonight on "the" crown.

Wednesday morning group, you will have a great lesson today, we Monday night ladies
were blown away.
