The Fruits Of The Spirit

Shaun Bradford

I just watched another eulogy for President Jimmy Carter. Had no idea there was another one until it popped up on my YouTube feed. Y’all, this one had me bawling. He really was a great man. So selfless. His life’s mission was to make someone else’s life better and give them hope. Yeah… I’m crying!😭

Pastor Tony Lowden’s (Jimmy Carter’s pastor and friend) Eulogy

Pastor Lowden said President Carter’s life exemplified the Fruits of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23):

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
& Self-control

Honestly, after seeing this eulogy, I really want to be a better person and continue his legacy. What a beautiful gift he left me, and he had no idea he was leaving me one. Yes, I am claiming it as mine.☺️ For real y’all, I am truly, truly blessed.♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

In high school, two teachers told me I could be and achieve anything I imagined—my English teacher, Ms. Tressin, and my Spanish teacher, Ms. Dreher. They both knew my dreams and aspirations and fed them. I am so grateful God placed them in my life.

Here’s a card and a quote from Ms. Tressin that was given to me over 30 years ago.

The Tennyson poem and painting she’s referring to is “The Lady of Shalott.” Our “little” English class was a Literature class. I used to enjoy reading different styles of literature. I loved that class.

This is the outside of the card, which has the painting of “The Lady of Shalott.”

And the added quote (I was the only student who received one☺️)—

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”

This is why I still believe.🥰

This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have a fabulous Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 49

Shaun Bradford
It’s time.

Been feeling Trent Shelton’s message more and more lately. I guess you could say that’s what these past 30 years (since the knowledge of my firstborn’s conception) have been—me living in survival mode. Now, it’s time to thrive.♥️ ~Shaun

Sending Prayers Up: Trusting God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

As difficult as it may be at the moment, we must trust God and believe He has something greater planned. To lose this belief is to lose all hope.

Honestly, I can’t even see it at the moment—can’t even imagine greater than what has been lost. However, I must believe something better is coming. As we know, God sees and plans for years into the future while we only experience the moment.

Praying for everyone suffering from any devastation, not only the fires. Lord, please console their hearts and give them peace, comfort, and relief. Let them know that they are not forgotten, but loved. Send signs of hope their way to let them know better is on the way. Amen

Never doubt that God is working everything out on your behalf. Trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
