"Trey Tuesday" - December 29, 2020

The End

No wait!

Yes, this is the end of Trey Tuesday devotionals as we know it, but God has paved the way for us to have a new beginning TODAY! (see below)

Trey Tuesday began on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 just days after Trey's diagnosis and the night before his first surgery.

THANK YOU for loving Trey and Jay and Rachel and Joe and Bella for the past 10 years in countless ways!

THANK YOU for walking beside each other every day, loving, praying, sharing, and supporting!

And THANK YOU for encouraging me with your kind words and appreciation!

Tonight is the end of Trey Tuesdays, but we still have TODAY!  TODAY is the name of my new devotional found on my website: https://aheartforhome.org/today-devotional/
I still plan on posting every Tuesday on my personal Facebook page and you can subscribe on the website.  I look forward to staying connected with you!

Tuesdays will always remind me of Trey, so let's continue our journey together TODAY!

"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,”  Hebrews 3:13

 Unprecedented

: having no precedent : novel, unexplained

adj. - never done or known before.

I'm not so sure we are living in the most unprecedented times......

A virgin birth

A fully satisfying sacrificial death

Hundreds of prophecies fulfilled

Fully God and fully man

Perfection

Sinless

Miracles

Defeating death

Eternal Life

Let's set every cultural distraction aside and savor the thrill of Hope as the weary world rejoices!  :)  Merry CHRISTmas to you and yours!

"For to us a Child is born,

to us a Son is given,

and the government will be on His shoulders.

And He will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  Isaiah 9:6

 2021

Everyone is ready to send 2020 packing and usher in a Happy New Year - 2021!

Don't you think that's a little bit funny? Blaming everything (bad) that happened this year on the cover of your calendar?

First of all, what about all the good things that happened this year?
Like my granddaughter being born!!!  :)

And finally having snow in winter!  

And all of us learning Zoom and Google Classrooms and MUCH, MUCH more!

Second of all, what about Wednesday!?
Tomorrow is a new day, much closer than a new year, but with all the same potential!

So, let's look forward with great expectation to all that God will do on Wednesday!  And Thursday!
And EVERY DAY! :)

"Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days."  Psalm 90:14

It's Personal

Cancer

Covid

Autism

Arthritis

Alzheimer's

Addiction

Each of these labels is well known.  You have probably heard that "people" experience them.

But until it gets personal we keep them at arm's length....not really feeling the pain and burden of those affected and the life change and battles they experience.

What happens when these diseases get personal?
How significant is the change when you attach a loved one's name?

Not just cancer.....but Our Trey had cancer!

Attach a name to each heartache and the tears begin to flow!

The prayers are intense!
Love overflows!

Praise the Lord we have the Ultimate Comfort from God:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are Mine.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze.

For I am the Lord your God,"  Isaiah 43:1-3

 Morning People

I'm not naturally a morning person....at all.  My best sleep comes in the morning when I shoulddddddd be getting out of bed!  :)

Yet....through all this sickness and heartache, nights have been long....
I have actually been longing for morning to come.

The other night as I was praying myself to sleep, God reminded me of His presence and His peace and I actually couldn't wait to wake up the next morning to see what He would do!

Maybe I am a morning person after all!  :)

"Let the morning bring me Word of Your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in You.

Show me the way I should go,

for to You I entrust my life." Psalm 143:8

"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,

for His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;

therefore I will wait for Him.” Lamentations 3:23
