 “Children, what you should do in union with the Lord is obey your parents, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” — this is the first commandment that embodies a promise -- “ - Eph. 6:2-3, Complete Jewish Bible
I used to think that honoring our parents meant doing as we were told, and that when we became adults, it no longer applied. To me, this verse was just for children. When we become adults, we leave home, so why would we have to continue to obey our parents? Because, when we become adults and go out into the world, we need to reflect that our parents taught us well. Obeying them as children, conveys to how we behave later in life. How we dress, how we speak, and how we relate to one another matters. Everything we do reflects on our parents, and whether we had good parents or not, we should represent them well. When others look upon us, they should be able to say we have good parents. So it goes with Adonai, our Father in Heaven. We are a reflection of the Lord, and as believers in Yeshua, we need to represent Him well, not only within our congregation’s, but also in our everyday lives. There’s an acronym made from the word B.I.B.L.E. It is “Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.” The Bible is full of instruction on how we are to lead our lives. We need to be in the Word every day, studying it, learning from it, and applying it to our lives. When we go about our daily business, let those that look upon us say that we have a great Father.

 "Therefore, encourage each other, and build each other up — just as you are doing.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Complete Jewish Bible
This nation has gone through a lot of suffering the last few years. Not that we haven’t had our share of problems, but lately it seems that as we’re getting through one, we see that either the problem is still there or there’s another one right behind it. It’s very discouraging, but we can’t let discouragement stop us from being who we are in Messiah. We can’t allow ourselves to become bitter and forget that there are others suffering as well. He is our living Hope; He will never fail us. Gods Word shows many account’s where He has pulled people through their suffering. Let us as believers, be encouraged by this, and pass this encouragement onto others. Let’s not find ourselves shying away from one another, but instead, supporting one another. Let’s not let the enemy get a foothold. Instead, let’s see each other through the hard times in the way that God has commanded us to do. Let’s love our neighbors as ourselves. Be a Blessing and Be Blessed! Morning Inspirational By Rebbitzen Kathleen Rantz 4th of Kislev, 5783 | November 28, 2022  “For on this day, atonement will be made for you to purify you; you will be clean before Adonai from all your sins. It is a Shabbat of complete rest for you, and you are to deny yourselves.'This is a permanent regulation'.”
- Leviticus 16:30, CJB Tonight Yom Kippur begins; the Day of Atonement; the most holiest day of the year and the Jewish Calendar. This is a Moedim, an appointed time. A day of complete rest. Many of us all over the world will be attending services, observing this day with fasting and deep retrospection. As Messianic believers in Yeshua, we are thankful to Adonai for washing us clean and freeing us from our sins. Going into this evening, and through tomorrow, may we feel and see the weight of his glory on us. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord…” - 2 Corinthians 3:17, CJB May you have a meaningful fast. Be a Blessing and Be Blessed! Morning Inspirational By Rebbitzen Kathleen Rantz October 4, 2022 } 9th of Tishri, 5783  “You, therefore, pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven! May your Name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come; your will be done on earth as in heaven. Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us. Give us the food we need today. And do not lead us into hard testing but keep us safe from the Evil One. For kingship, power and glory are yours forever. Amen.’” ~ Matt. 6:9-13, CJB
We have now come into the “Ten Days of Awe”, also known as the “Ten Days of Repentance,” These are the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, where we reflect on things we may have said or done that were wrong to others; also, if we’ve committed Lashon Hara (gossip). This is a time where, if we haven’t done it already, we go to those we’ve wronged and apologize and ask forgiveness. No excuses, no justification! How they react is between them and God, it is no longer our burden to carry. In that, we also need to forgive those who have wronged us. For those who we no longer have contact with, we ask the Lord to forgive our trespasses against them, and to deliver us from evil and temptation. Yeshua is our redeemer, our healer, and our deliverer. Through him we are made clean. May this High Holy Day season find you well, and may you be written in the Lambs Book of Life. Be a Blessing and be blessed! Morning Inspirational By Rebbitzen Kathleen Rantz September 27, 2022 | 2nd of Tishrei, 5783  “Regard it all as joy, my brothers, when you face various kinds of temptations; for you know that the testing of your trust produces perseverance. But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.”
