Chip Shots from the Ruff of Life
by Tom Kelley
My good friends, I hope that your day is one in which you can relax with the knowledge that God has blessed you immeasurably. Take comfort in the safety of your family, consolation in what health you possess and encouragement in the fact that you are able to care for yourself and those around you.
Most of all exalt the God who gave His only Son to die for you in a war fought in your heart. Give thanks for the victory that has been awarded you through His blood and the great promise that is yours by His sacrifice and resurrection. In gratitude, recognize the spiritual strength that is in you through God's own divine presence, His Holy Spirit. Look beyond the surface of your life and see the inner structure of a life that is now holy before the Lord.
"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back; the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields; and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
You are loved by your heavenly Father and me.
