JESUS IS...

 

Good morning to you!

 Check out this website: http://www.xmasclock.com/
It gives you a countdown until Christmas and you can leave it on your desktop, if you want to stay online for 8 days. Pretty cool!

I can't wait until Christmas because my kids and grandchildren will be here. It is always so much fun. It is a little noisy and chaotic at times and I love every second of it.

So, as you count down the days until Christmas, remember that Jesus is the heart of Christmas. That He is the reason we have Christmas and celebrate it. Because it is the Birthday of the King. And without our beloved King of kings and Lord of lords we would not even have Christmas. So, when we come across someone who is very secular and doesn't believe, let them know that Christmas is all about Jesus. 

Christmas may be very commercial and secular these days, but we can worship the King if and when we want to, and it has nothing to do with others. It is our time to praise and worship Him and let others know how much HE loves them. And we will say "Merry Christmas" and not happy holidays. We don't want to leave Jesus out of it. Because HE is It!

The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come 
upon you, and the power of the Most High will 
overshadow you. So the holy one to be 
born will be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:35

Help us, O God, to see the Reason for the season, and to tell others of His love. Help us to keep our focus on you and be used by you in this Christmas season. Lead, guide and direct us as we follow You, Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen!

So, remember that Jesus is the Reason for the season and that He is the Heart of Christmas. These sayings may have been over used but they are true. Believe them and in Him!

Have a wondrous day!

Love,

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...
