ETERNITY

[tenac]

A rainy Friday morning here in ole east tennessee...i went out and had my usual Friday morning breakfast with some men friends from my church...we did NOT solve any problems facing the world today but we did as we always do have some great conversations concerning the world and our lives and Jesus. Awesome to have those people in ones life that anytime we are together...we can talk about alot of stuff but Jesus is always part of that conversation....i say....it helps keep us grounded...so to speak...as scripture tells us....iron sharpens iron...right!
After we went our seperate ways i stopped in at my church and said a few hellos and came back to the house for my Jesus time and to read a little here and now im about to start my day out walking with Jesus to see where He might lead me on this awesome rainy Friday. So...why am i telling y'all this....simple....i surround myself with those like minded people that follow Jesus...and that...is what helps keep me....most of the time....on the straight and narrow. People to encourage me...lift me up....hold me accountable....and lord knows i need lots of that hold me accountable stuff...wink. So how about you....do have those kinds of people in your life...those brothers and sisters that you can depend on thru thick and thin...part of that body of Christ that is NOT of this world but is looking forward to that day we will spend all eternity in heaven together thanking God for His grace and mercy! If not....you dont know what you are missing...Jesus and the believer family...dont get no better than that! And with that said...im NOT saying that we are better than anyone else...we are all sinners saved by grace...we all fail and stumble in our walk from time to time....we are just regular people that are trusting in Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit sharing the good news to this lost and dying world...planting seeds of salvation that others might be drawn to their day of salvation and get to participate in the same things i just spoke of here....a bad day in the world with Jesus is many times better than a good day in the world without Jesus and having those born-again believer friends in our lives just makes it that much more sweeter!

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
