My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Dave Branon  …  USE THIS LINK   relates a person story of he and his wife preparing to go on a late fall vacation but an early snow storm showed them that they had not prepared for upcoming snows by changing to snow tires.  And the story was shared to illustrate how we Christians should ALWAYS be living in preparation for Christ’s return. 

And if my readers have heard the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures shared above,  I would hope we’re all living our lives, showing and sharing our faith, and knowing that our Lord could return at any moment, … just like the snow came for the ODB author.  Personally, I could - and should - do more to be ready for the return of our King Jesus.  How about You?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank for  your promise to return any time soon for Your Bride. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for Your promised return … maybe today!    …  Amen
