One Day Jesus
Last week I sat down to read my Daily Bread devotional. The scripture began in Luke 11. I started reading verse one. "One day Jesus..." I couldn't read any farther. The words "one day Jesus" continue to reverberate in my mind. I said the words over and over.
Verse one of Luke 11 precedes the verses where Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray. Yet I couldn't get past the simple meaning I found in those three words. Jesus came to earth from heaven dwelling in time and space. He walked the earth for approximately 12,045 days. On one of those days, he taught his disciples to pray. On many of the other days, he taught people how to live and love each other. And on the final day, he made the supreme sacrifice giving his life for all mankind.
The reality of the message hit me square in the middle of my heart. One day we will see Jesus face to face. One day we'll live in His presence for all eternity. One day, a day will never end. One day Jesus. Halleluiah.
"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.'" Luke 11:1
Dear Lord, I thank You for the reality of Jesus Christ, our Savior. You sent Him to this earth for a very specific purpose and out of Your love. Through Him and Him alone can we receive forgiveness of sins and join You someday in heaven. Amen.
About The Inn at Cranberry Cove
After her boss fires her on unfounded grounds, twenty-nine-year-old Ashton Price leaves Denver for Cranberry Cove, Washington. She's inherited her aunt's B&B and is determined to carry on her legacy. Upon preparing for guests, she learns of a century-old tale of treasure within the inn. Many have searched for the illusive gems but to no avail. She discovers a man working on the inn's grounds, but is he the gardener Gina Price hired? Perhaps he's searching for the hidden treasure.
James Atwood, corporate executive, works in the Atwood's thriving cranberry business. Tragedy strikes, and he's numb and riddled with guilt. Befriended by Gina Price, he finds solace working evening and weekends in the fresh earth, fescue grass, and aromatic blossoms of the inn's gardens, helping to divert his mind from his dishonest cousin Robert, bent on destroying the Atwood business. He continues tending the grounds after Gina passes, and the new owner believes he's a gardener. After she calls late one night upon hearing a prowler, James races to her rescue and discovers his feelings are more than protective.
Ashton's first guests, the Claxton's, appear out of nowhere saying they've had reservations for a year though she finds no record of a deposit. She chalks the failure up to faulty accounting before she arrived. When an elusive intruder continues to make frightening midnight visits, Ashton fears for her own safety and that of the Claxtons. But then, their odd comings and goings cause Ashton to wonder. Are they really vacationing visitors from California, or do they have other motives for staying at the inn?
Can two people allow the majestic northwest and fragrant coastal air heal their wounded hearts? Will they discover the secret of The Inn at Cranberry Cove?
