Thank u all !!

Do not despise the day of small things! Matthew 13:31-32 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches." Following a parable in which an enemy sows tares and the field that won't be sorted until the harvest, Yeshua (Jesus) tells one that takes only two verses. It's a parable about size. The Kingdom, He says, starts out looking like almost nothing. A mustard seed. In Israel, that was a proverb. The rabbis would use the phrase 'like a grain of mustard' just as we say 'the size of a pinhead'. When the Mishnah, the (Torah)wished to describe the smallest possible amount of something, it used the mustard seed, chardal (חַרְדָּל). All those present understood precisely what Yeshua meant. The Kingdom the prophets had been waiting for for centuries starts at the smallest size a person can imagine. The point isn’t that mustard is literally the smallest seed in the world. It’s that everyone saw it as a symbol of something very small. Yeshua wants us to notice the difference between how the Kingdom starts and what it becomes. It may begin so small that it’s easy to miss, but it holds God’s life inside. What seems unimportant at first can become a place of shelter. What starts hidden in the ground can grow into something visible, fruitful, and far-reaching. That’s how the Kingdom began -- a rabbi from Nazareth and twelve ordinary men. It seemed small and easy to overlook. But Yeshua wasn’t making excuses for it. He was showing them that this is how the Kingdom works. It’s not small by mistake. It’s small on purpose, because God chose to start this way. That’s how the Kingdom began -- a rabbi from Nazareth and twelve ordinary men.

Happy 27th Anniversary to my beloved husband, Ronald Caviness! ❤️ Twenty-seven years ago, we began a journey of learning one another, growing together, and blending our families into one. We have walked through beautiful seasons and difficult ones, and every step has shaped us, strengthened us, and brought us closer. Looking back, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the life we have built and for the love that has carried us through it all. Ronald, I thank God for you every day. You are the epitome of an Ephesians 5:25 man—a loving husband, provider, protector, and my very best friend. Your steadfast love, patience, strength, and devotion to me and our family have been blessings beyond words. I am so grateful for the way you love me, stand beside me, and continue to choose us. Through every season, God has reminded us that a strong marriage is not built on perfection, but on love, forgiveness, commitment, faith, and the decision to keep walking together. We have chosen to put God first and allow Him to remain at the center of our marriage, and I am so thankful He has guided us through these 27 years. After all this time, I still choose you. I still honor you. I still cherish you. And I still thank God for the gift of being your wife. You are my heart, my home, and my forever love. Happy Anniversary, my love! Here’s to the beautiful journey still ahead of us—hand in hand, heart to heart, and with God leading the way. I love you more than words can ever express, Ronald! 💕🥂 “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” — Mark 10:9

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Let’s discover three Hebrew words in this verse: 1. “declare”: sāp̄ar We tend to think of a declaration as a loud announcement of some sort. So, we get on our soapbox and give our practiced speech without pausing for so much as a breath. Yet when this Psalm encourages us to ‘declare’, it is saying sāp̄ar - which means to recount, tell, or even write down. This is less of a declaration and more of a testimony, or even better yet, a “Come and see what God has done” story (Psalm 66:5a). Why? Because stories touch hearts. 2. This marvelous works”: pālā' The ways of God are described as pālā' in this verse - they are extraordinary, wonderful, yet at times difficult to understand. 3. kōl - anyone and everyone. “All” This is the basis of the stories we share; the content of the kind of testimonies that impact generations. Consider Gideon’s response when he met the angel of the Lord. He actually uses both pālā' andsāp̄ar together: And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds (pālā') that our fathersrecounted (sāp̄ar) to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” Judges 6:13, emphasis added Gideon’s frame of reference was shaped by generations before him who faithfully shared their testimony — their stories about what God did for them. Your God-story is made to be shared far and wide. We tend to think of a declaration as a loud announcement of some sort. So, we get on our soapbox. Because stories touch hearts. APPLY AND RESPOND 🏃‍♂️ 🤔 Reflect What have you actually seen God do? I’m always amazed by the questions children ask. Their faith teaches me to remember the truth of my own testimony. Take a moment today to consider this question for yourself. 🏃‍♂️ Act Identify one real thing you’ve experienced about God and one person you can share it with today. It doesn’t have to be at church or to a specific person, remember kōl - anyone and everyone. “All”
