Sparrow's Last Lesson

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NLT)

From time to time, we are blessed by a guest blog post. Enjoy the following by the love of my life, Mike Fulton, who wrote this blogpost the night our butterfly was dying. This month, we’ve been writing about lessons God has taught us through the life of one little butterfly. To catch up, please read the previous blogposts for January. We never dreamed God could touch our lives so significantly by one tiny butterfly. Thanks God, for all the lessons!

Sparrow was our beloved friend. Tonight is most likely Sparrow’s last night with us. He has been a most excellent guest. I will truly miss him and his quiet little self. You see, he never once complained or whined or even cried, but he lived! (Philippians 4:6, John 10:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Thanks to my girls, especially Mikea, who did an amazing job taking care of him! She checked on him all throughout the day, made sure he had fresh flowers, and even warmed up fresh fruit for his meals. 

I am truly saddened by his departure from this earth, goodnight little one and thank you for being such a blessing to my family! You will truly be missed!

What has God taught you today? We love to hear from you! Comment below about how God has taught you a life changing message!

Life: The 8 Second Ride

From time to time, we host a guest and invite them to write a blog post. My husband, Mike, the love of my life and God's gift to me straight from Heaven wrote today's post. Enjoy!

Life is like an 8 second bull ride! (James 4:14)

You have to ride like there's no tomorrow! (Psalm 90:12)

You have to hang on for all you've got! (Matthew 6:33)

You have to live for the moment! (Philippians 4:6, 7)

And don't wait around to hear the buzzer! (2 Corinthians 5:8)

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for every reader today. We understand our life is compared to a vapor, we holdfast to You and Your law of love. Continue to teach us to number our days, our heart's desire is to have a heart of wisdom. We commit to seek You and Your kingdom first in the name of Jesus! We are bold and strong! We are not anxious for or about anything, but in everything we make our requests known to You with prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving! Thank You for peace! Your peace that surpasses all understanding that guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!
