Between the Holidays

Thanksgiving has come and gone - now the anticipation of Christmas is here! Traditionally at our home, we change from Thanksgiving to Christmas overnight! The Christmas tree, with gifts underneath, the outside lights are up, and soon it will be Christmas. We can never forget what Christmas is truly about though. Jesus Christ, Our Lord, is alive and with Our Father in Heaven! We need to remember to help those that are having a hard time this year. To pray for our families and our friends, our soldiers still fighting for our freedom! The good tidings, the joy, needs to continue all year long - We need Christmas to continue in our lives, our hearts!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving & The Giving of Thanks!

                                                                          

 We have so much to be thankful for these days, in spite of the state of things throughout our nation and our world. Though there are wars, disease, famine and the like, we must still be grateful to God that we have life!
We should work to protect and nurture our life as well as the lives of those we come in contact with. The cholera epidemic in Haiti, the attack today on South Korea by North Korea, continued persecution of the Jews, especially by the Muslims....all theses instances need to be battled against by PRAYER! We can give money, our time etc., but prayer to the Lord God Almighty, Yahweh, through our intercessor Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that is what will turn the tide!
   The power is in God and His Son Christ Jesus. By our faith in Him we are saved. So don't focus on the negative circumstances around us, focus on Him, and stay in His Word, the Bible.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
    Remember to thank God this Thanksgiving Day, and each successive day thereafter.

Let's Go Forward!

   Praise God from whom all blessing flow! The elections are over, and it looks like there are quite a few people going to Washington that will hopefully stand up for the principles this country was founded upon!
  Freedom and liberty, to pursue our lives as God has given us vision to providing we don't trample on the
rights of others.
  The Judeo-Christian ethic is such as important force in the world through Gods' Holy Spirit. Think of all the people and places our country has helped out and led in the spread of freedom and democracy throught the world!

                                           

  When things look dark remember God is still ultimately in control. He will protect and provide for His children. "The Lord is my sheperd, I shall not want." Psalm 23:1.
   As we go further into the fall anticipating winter, let us emanate the warmth of His love to those around us.
I know that can be hard with some people, and when we determine to do good Satan will try to trip us up, but our God is GREATER!
  "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 8:18.
