This is just something that I felt lead to do. I do not expect others' to submit any scriptures. You do not have to comment on them or read them. It is merely here for those of you who feel you need it, require it, want it, or simply curious. It is only one of many ways to reach out and help our family.
Blessings,
Little T (Prezident)

Suffering is NOT Forever
"Those who plant in tears will harvest in shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest."
Psalm 126:5-6 NLT
Recognize that suffering is not forever. In the dark hours of the night of suffering it is hard to think of a morning of joy and gladness. But the tears of suffering are like seeds of joy.

And there will be signs...
Luke 21:25-35
25) " And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26) men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27) And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28] Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." 29) And he told them a parable: " Look at the fig tree, and all the trees; 30) as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31) So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32) Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place. 33) Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 34) " But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; 35) for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth."
My favorite part is about the Fig Tree and knowing that the Kingdom is near.

Psalm 111
Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them.
Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.
He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy,
they are established for ever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures for ever!
Psalms is my favorite part of the Bible. Then comes the Book of Daniel and finally Revelations.

Matthew 28:1-10, 16-20
1) Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. 2) And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 3) His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. 4) And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5) But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6) He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7) Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you." cool So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9) And behold, Jesus met them and said, " Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10) Then Jesus said to them, " Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me." 16) Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17) And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. 1 cool And Jesus came and said to them, " All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Does anyone know why this ocurred after the Sabbath/Shabbat?

The Lord Does Mighty Things For Us
Psalm 126
A Harvest of Joy
A Song of Ascents.
When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
The LORD has done great things for us,
and we rejoiced.
Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like the watercourses in the Negeb.
May those who sow in tears
reap with shouts of joy.
Those who go out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
carrying their sheaves.
Doesn't this make you feel warm inside?

Psalm 5
Trust in God for Deliverance from Enemies
Give ear to my words, O LORD;
give heed to my sighing.
Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
For you are not a God who
delights in wickedness;
evil will not sojourn with you.
The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak lies;
the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house,
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in awe of you.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.
For there is no truth in their mouths;
their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
they flatter with their tongues.
Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
so that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O LORD;
you cover them with favor as with a shield.

The Parable of the Two Sons
“What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ He answered, ‘I will not’; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, ‘I go, sir’; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.
