The Easter Season - 96 Days of Time with God - Day 9 - DISCIPLESHIP

 FACEBOOK POST ON FEBRUARY 25, 2021 - James Eugene Barbush

IF WE ARE DISCIPLES,
WHAT HAVE WE SEEN AND HEARD?


I read the below passage in the pic, and I was struck with this thought . . . .
Have I seen and heard what the prophets and kings desired to see and hear but they did not see and hear it?
Jesus spoke the below passage to His disciples of His day.
Does He also speak that to His disciples of our day?
Thus, we must each ask ourselves . . . .
Am I one of His disciples?
Jesus said to His disciples privately . . .
“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see."
What are the requirements of being one of His disciples?
... Loving Him.
... Giving up everything.
... Following His commands.
... Being doers and not just hearers of His word.

Are we up to the task of being one of His disciples?
We can ponder that and ask God for His mercy and forgiveness.

What's the one thing that we expect to receive from sending our an E-Mail?

Frank M. Barbush FRANK M. BARBUSH, The Grandfather I Never Knew I never met my father's father, my grandfather, Frank M. Barbush.  Suddenly, out of the blue, seeing his picture, I had the thought that, "If I could speak to my Grandfather, Frank M. Barbush, whom I never knew, what would I say?"  Well, let me say this . . . Hello Pop I never met you and never got to know you , because you left this life before I was born. I did know your wife, Elizabeth Walmer Barbush. The entire family called her Mom Barbush or just Mom - whether sons, daughters, grandchildren, or other.

The taxi business became part of the entire Barbush Family . . . . to the exten
