GIFTS

 


Hello to you!
Merry Christmas on the 4th Sunday of Advent! Christmas is almost here. Are you done shopping? Are you done fixing everything for company or for traveling? Are you finished wrapping packages? Are you finished baking if you bake?

I think I am finished shopping although I may not be until I wrap it all and see if I forgot someone. I have not fixed and cleaned for company and traveling. And I am far from being done with the wrapping. And my husband started the baking and had trouble making sugar cookies and said that he would never do them again. Too much work!

So, as we go merrily along our way the next couple of days remember that Jesus is the Heart of Christmas. He is the Reason for the Season. Jesus was born in a lowly manger for us. So, that He could save us from our sins.

So, as you open gifts, remember Who this is all about. We wouldn't have Christmas if it wasn't for Jesus Christ. He, in His birth, is our ultimate Gift. And He gives abundant life to us. All the gifts we get, we open, we wrap, we give, are from the Giver of all good gifts.

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

John 10:10b
I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Abundant-Life#sthash.X3cv6PNG.dpuf

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I want my gifts and abundant life from God and when I get those blessings that God wants to give me, I will praise His Holy Name!

Have a wonderful day!

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...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
