 I believe there will be sunsets like this one, probably more beautiful than this one when we walk with Jesus in the Garden. 

Luke 23:42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

23:43 He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Did you know that the word Paradise comes from a Persian word for a walled garden. Think about that for a few moments. Meditate on Jesus having just promised the thief upon the cross a walk in the garden of God with His Lord and Savior for eternity.  Now I don’t know about the rest of you but it sure gives me a warm feeling to know that I have committed myself to God, His Son, and His Holy Spirit.  To know that Jesus is promising the thief upon the cross a walk in a garden we can only imagine the likes of with the one and only Son of God and He is promising me the same walk in the same garden.  Yeah, thats what I am talking about.  I can’t speak for anyone else but here is what I am going to do, I am going to walk with Jesus in the garden He has given me right now, today, this very moment.  It is a wonderful thing to be blessed with this life, people I love, a spouse, children, grandchildren, Mom and Dad, brothers, brother in laws, sisters, sisters in law, church, church family and the list could go on and on.  Give glory to God right now for all the blessings He has given you.  It is a rich life if you allow Him to lead you through it.

God’s Peace and blessings to all,

Randy
