“KEYS TO THE KINGDOM”

Now when he saw the crowds he went up on a mountainside and sat down His disciples came to him and he began to teach them

Matthew 5:1-2

com

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) a well known English novelist and poet, wrote a fictitious stor y about a padlock It was just an ordinar y padlock, except it was alive It had long thin ar ms and legs It was always ver y ner vous, r unning here and there, and always with a worr ied look on its face One day s o m e o n e s t o p p e d t h e t w i s t i n g a n d t u r n i n g padlock and asked, “What in the wor ld is the matter with you? Waving his thin ar ms wildly in the air the padlock shouted “I’m looking for a key to unlock myself ”

The good news is that Jesus is the key that unlocks our tr ue selves (Matthew 5:1-12) by giving believers keys to the kingdom

Here is a br ief summar y:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit” (verse 3)

Humble enough to admit our need for God

“Blessed are those who mourn” (verse 4)

Finding God’s strength in the broken places of our lives

“Blessed are the meek” (verse 5) Having great power under God’s control

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness” (verse 6) Wanting God’s way more than our way

“Blessed are the merciful” (verse 7) Showing loving kindness and empathy toward others

“Blessed are the pure in hear t” (verse 8) Doing the r ight thing with the r ight motive

“Blessed are the peacemakers” (verse 9) Chr istlikeness in our relationships with others

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake” (verse 10) Come what may, we will tr ust God to see us through

Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to live our lives in such a way that the wor ld will know Who we belong to In Your strong name Amen Oak

I DA R E YO U TO B E L OV E D BY G O D When people listen, God speaks

When people obey, God acts When God acts, people are chang ed

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul O my God, in you I tr ust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me Psalm 25:1-2

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfor t from love, any par ticipation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves Philippians 2:1-3

REFLECTION: Take a moment to imagine what life would be like if ever yone had the same mind as Chr ist Well, one day, we will find out When the new heaven and new ear th appear, we will all have the same mind of Chr ist What does it mean to have the mind of Chr ist? It means our desires are God’s desires

Our love is God’s love That gives me great encouragement The process of having the mind of Chr ist begins when we are “bor n of the Spir it” This new life in Chr ist causes us to begin to think and act like Chr ist The Philippians mutually cher ished Chr ist and found har mony among themselves When we exercise love for others, we are responding to the fellowship of the Spir it This is what makes us of one mind When we have mutual feeling of humanity and mercy for someone, we receive the greatest blessing of being united with Chr ist Jesus

PRAYER TIME: On this day, I lift up my soul to you Lord Jesus You are my precious Savior, who I am lear ning to tr ust Continue to help me put on your mind so I may live in peace and har mony with others In Jesus’ Name, Amen

QUEENIE

would love to meet you!

Queenie got a break from the stressful shelter environment in a temporar y foster home Here are some things that were lear ned about her during her stay at the foster home:

1 Queenie is housebroken! She easily adjusted to her new routine and didn't have a single accident

2 Queenie was curious, but ver y respectful of her feline foster sibling

3 Queenie is a big lap dog that loves snuggling with and getting belly r ubs from people

4. Plush toys are her favor ite

5 Queenie loves to go for car r ides

6 Queenie knows a few basic commands, lear ns new ones quickly, and takes treats ver y gently

Queenie is 5 years old and could join a home that includes other dogs and cats She would do best with another calm dog, because she doesn't seem interested in having a playmate If there is another dog in the family, a meet and greet will be scheduled to ensure they re a good fit A home with kids 10 years and older would be her best fit This sweet gir l is eligible for Bissell Empty the Shelters so her adoption fee is currently reduced to $50
