Celebrating Royalty...

American Tea: humus and crackers, popcorn, fruit, homemade chocolate scones and Devonshire (like) cream.

...Psalm 113:5-9 "Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes with the princes of his people. He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.Praise the Lord."

...1 Peter 2:9-10 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."

What's My Focus: Getting to Heaven; or Living so Others Experience Grace?

"I'm torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live. Knowing this, I am convinced that I will remain alive so I can continue to help all of you grow and experience the joy of your faith." Philippians 1.23-25
