Sunday's Scripture Reading ~ 1 Peter 2:9

It's time for another Sunday Scripture Reading. As always, I hoped and prayed that everyone had a great weekend. Yesterday, a few girlfriends and I celebrated a dear friend's, more like a sister's, birthday. We went to Outback Steakhouse. By the way, they make a mean potato soup. Delicious!! We had a blast. We laughed until our stomach hurts. It's a blessing that we can get together and have fun. We love doing life together. Happy Birthday, Francesca!! Love ya!!




 Happy Birthday, Fran, Fran!!



This is the scrumptuous potato soup. Mmmm...Mmmm...good!!


Now, as for today's scripture reading, our theme for the week will be based on 1 Peter 2:9.




"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" (1 Peter 2:9)


It's a blessing to know that God chose me way before I even thought about chosing Him to be my Heavenly Father by accepting His only Son, Jesus, to be my personal Saviour. Isn't that something?? God said so Himself, when He said, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you,...," (Jeremiah 1:5). Then on top of that, God informed me that I was royalty, an heiress to the throne.


All I can say is WOW!! And give Him the praise!! So, if you are ready to dig a little deeper this week, well then away we go in the name of Jesus!!
