Get Faith
Luke chapter 4 "When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom." Although there were years when I was a young adult, and did not, I have gone to the church on the Sabbath most of my life. When I had my daughter I was drawn back in because it was very important to me that my daughter was raised in the church. Turns out it was very good for me as well. Jesus went to church with family to praise and pray to not only his God, but His Father. And he read from the Old Testament book of Isaiah that they gave him reading that foretold of His coming. Wish I had been there.
On this day
2017 Was a Saturday and I was going to the Slosses for Derby Day and realized I needed a graduation card/gift for Rebecca their daughter who was graduating from college. She was also catering her parents Derby Day party that I was attending. It was special to me to congratulate her because when I first met her she was 3. I had the 3 year olds in Sunday School, the first year I went to First English. There were 12 or 14 of them and most of them still attend, when they are home with their parents. I love to see them, like the two young men that when they are ushering for communion give me that cute little smile and I am whisked back in time to when they were three and making cotton ball sheep. God is good.
1576 - The peace treaty of Chastenoy ended the fifth war of religion. Jesus first commandment - Love God and love your neighbor - where did we go wrong???
Nepal
The name "Nepal" is first recorded in texts from the Vedic period of the Indian subcontinent, the era in ancient India when Hinduism was founded, the predominant religion of the country. In the middle of the first millennium BCE, Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born in Lumbini in southern Nepal. Parts of northern Nepal were intertwined with the culture of Tibet. The centrally located Kathmandu Valley is intertwined with the culture of Indo-Aryans,[16] and was the seat of the prosperous Newar confederacy known as Nepal Mandala. The Himalayan branch of the ancient Silk Road was dominated by the valley's traders. The cosmopolitan region developed distinct traditional art and architecture. By the 18th century, the Gorkha Kingdom achieved the unification of Nepal. The Shah dynasty established the Kingdom of Nepaland later formed an alliance with the British Empire, under its Rajput Rana dynasty of premiers. The country was never colonized but served as a buffer state between Imperial China and British India.[17][18][19] Parliamentary democracy was introduced in 1951, but was twice suspended by Nepalese monarchs, in 1960 and 2005. The Nepalese Civil War in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the proclamation of a secular republicin 2008, ending the world's last Hindu monarchy.[20] Hinduism and Buddhism born in this same country. It is a beautiful
country after all.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday to Barb and Erin!!
