His Majesty

My brother, Don, and sister-in-law, Kathleen are coming to visit me next week!  They lived in Kathleen's home town in Ireland for many years and have recently moved to Florida, U.SA.  So this is the first time they will be visiting me in Lexington, Kentucky.

Naturally, I wanted my house to look as good as it could for their visit.  I have totally, 100% re-done the Guest Room, from painting ceiling, walls, woodwork and doors, to getting a nice ceiling fan, to putting up a brass bed with new bedding.  What's left: only to make a new window curtain and put something nice on the walls.

New Guest Room!
The adjoining bathroom is also getting transformed from a dark cave with brownish/cranberryish/rust walls to a bright, cheerful strawberry red bathroom.  At last, the ceiling and walls are painted and I've bought a few new things like rug, waste basket, things for the counter, etc.

New Bathroom almost finished!
That's upstairs.  Downstairs, all carpets have been cleaned, furniture polished.

I've planned a big dinner for one night with all the in-town and close-by relatives coming.  Tomorrow I'll start pulling weeds, trimming bushes, and getting the yard in better shape.  I actually watered the yard several times last week - I didn't want it to look anything less than green!

I started thinking of what tasks I've completed and those that are left.  By the end of the week, I'll be ready for a King!  There won't be anything more to do if Jesus Himself was coming!   And those thoughts led to thoughts of Jesus Christ, Our King, and His Majesty.

Don, Kathleen, and I have visited Jesus in His many homes - churches - in many places, both in Ireland and in the U.S.A.  They are all different, and quite grand, fitting for a King.  Jesus is worth all the Adoration, Love, and Honor as is fitting for the Creator of the Universe.  I was pleased to worship Him in church this morning and will honor Him all day today, His Day, by turning my thoughts and prayers to Him many times.  I wish the same happiness for you!

Don and Kathleen aren't a political King and Queen but they're far more important to me!

Praise You, Lord, for such a wonderful brother and sister-in-law coming to visit!!
