Just this morning I had to remind myself that "ALL things work together for the good of those that love God and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 <br /><br />TeresaAngelina says that Evgeni, the Russian martyr, was recently killed by his Muslim captors. Evgeny Rodionov was in fact killed in May of 1996. He is considered the New Martyr of Chechnya and was a Russian soldier captured by Chechen rebels. After his death, his mother, an athiest became a believer.Kim Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079087429197428381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-57144987797673484862012-06-11T22:01:39.844-04:002012-06-11T22:01:39.844-04:00We don't sing many of the hymns written in a m...We don't sing many of the hymns written in a minor key; one of the lovely things about them is that one can end them by resolving to the corresponding major chord.<br />The hurts of life are everywhere--and they don't seem to be meted out fairly.

"In the world you WILL have tribulation;but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" John16:33 and then "I have learned in whatever state I am , to be content: I know how to be abased and how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

I am reminded again (thank you Lord) of what the apostle Paul wrote "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil.4:11-13). God , please help me to remember this and be encouraged by it. Let your joy be my strength!

I am grateful for your blog and how you point us to the person who is our Peace.

Not only our brothers and sisters, but animals, trees, and gardens. And the angels sing to Praise the name of Jesus.

Thoug...Today is All Saints in the Orthodox Church. Though we remember the saints everyday, today is a special day to remember them and the church clergy wear red to remember the blood that they shed in saying "no" to the evil one and "yes" to God. It is a daily, moment by moment, choice. There was a young man of Russia recently martyred...he was given the choice by his Islamic captives to take off the cross he worn and deny Christ and live as a Muslim or have his head removed from his body. This 19 year old hero, Evgeni (Eugene) by name said "The cross comes off when the head does." And it did.<br /><br />God has never promised us lives without challenges and lives without persecution. Just the opposite. But how we live daily - each moment listening to His voice, each moment in thankfulness to God - is what we are given.<br /><br />I pray that your ear infection is healed by the grace of God and that the stresses of your life find relief. Your words encourage; in the midst of struggle, faith. <br /><br />Indeed, Christ is Risen from the dead! Trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs, bestowing life!TeresaAngelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251765018168417707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-55794441283263000772012-06-10T17:15:57.175-04:002012-06-10T17:15:57.175-04:00Thank You--that was beautifully written.
