Faith and a Full House...: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...belated...: I guess you could say that I have pretty much drowned when it comes to this blog...and... I'm sorry... I have been working on two other sister web sites, and have rather let this one down... To all my readers (the faithful few) I apologize... another New Years resolution in the works, but I hope to do better.

We had a great Christmas. It was absolutely wonderful to visit with family that I hadn't seen in a year and a half, Mom, Dad, brothers in law and sisters were all a blessing and we had a wonderful time getting reacquainted with nieces and nephews...

What a blessing family can be...

Thanking God today for faith,family,& friends..

23 rd Psalm

The 23 rd Psalm

Here is a beautiful explanation

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want -- thats' relationship!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures -- that's rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters -- that's refreshment!

He restoreth my soul -- that's healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness -- that's guidence!

For his name sake -- thats purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death -- that's testing!

I will fear no evil -- that's protection!

For thou art with me -- that's faithfulness

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me -- that's discipline

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies -- that's hope

Thou anointest my head with oil -- that's consecration!

My cup runneth over -- that's abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life -- that's blessing

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord -- that's secruity!

Forever -- that's eternity!

Take Time

Take time to think;
It is a source of power.

Take time to read;
It is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to play;
It is the secret of staying young.

Take time to be quiet;
It is an opportunity to seek God.

Take time to be aware;
It is the opportunity to help others.

Take time to love and be loved;
It is God's greatest gift.

Take time to laugh;
It is the music of the soul.

Take time to be friendly;
It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream;
It is what the future is made of.

Take time to Pray;
It is the greatest power on earth.

Time

Wow, It has been over 3 months since I have shared anything on my Blog. Where has the time gone?
Time, Time, Time, What about our time? Job talks about how time flies. In Job 7:6 says," My days are
swifter than a weavers shuttle, and are spent with out hope."
I know we say that we are so busy, or, that we don't have time. But we can make time for those things that we think are important. How important are the things that take up our time? Not important. Time flees so fast, we need to enjoy every moment that has been given us. Because we do know what another day will hold. Job says "are days are swifter than a post: they flee away." When I think about the times in my life that have gone so quickly. I wish that I would have taken each moment a little slower and enjoyed the time. Let us cherish each moment, Because once it is gone it is gone.
Let us use are time wisely.

The Bible is as a two edged sword.

It convicts and it cleanses,
it reveals and it remedies,
it searches and it sanctifies
it probes and it purifies,
it warnes and it washes.

It is his word that we hid deep in our hearts, that gives us the power fight in the battle. His two-edged sword will enable us to defeat the enemy. That is why we put on the whole armour of God, that we maybe able to stand in these evil days. Help us to be strong in the Lord.

Lord help, I have heard and seen to many of your servants being defeated. Churches and Pastors resigning and stepping out of the ministry. People are harding their hearts as The wicked one is trying to prevail. Please Lord we need a renewing of your Holy Spirit in these days. Lord help us to seek your face as we find strength in your Word.

The Gosple according to you

Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
2 Corinthians 3:2

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Are read by more than a few,
But the one that is most read and commented on
Is the gospel according to you.

You are writing a gospel, a chapter each day
By the things that you do and the words that you say,
Men read what you write, whether faithless or true,
Say, what is the gospel according to you?

Do men read His truth and His love in your life?
Or has yours been too full of malice and strife?
Does your life speak of evil, or does it ring true?
Say, what is the gospel according to you?

Our testimony is seen by others every day. It's who you are, what you do,
and why you exist. Whether you realize it or not, people are judging God
and Christianity based on you. So how can you live for God even when it is not
easy?

When you are truly saved, everyone should see it. People should recognize
the difference in you and should realize you are not the same.
You should be different in you actions, countenance, and interests, and
others should see God's hand upon your life.

Can others see a difference between the way you were before you were saved
and the way you are now? God called you out from the world so that you
could be a light to the world. Share His Gospel with others through your
testimony today!

Taken from "A daily Word"

Yes, we need to be that kind of testimony. But yet we fall short all the time.
If it was not for His grace were would we be

Happy Easter

Happy Easter- He has risen.

We had a sunrise service this morning at our church. It was a blessed time of worship and praising our Lord.
We also had a great time of fellowship over breakfast with our family and friends there.

I can't imagine not worshiping the Lord for all that he has done for us on the cross. It amazes me how this world has grown so cold in the things of God. Where is our worship and praise for him.

Happy Easter! Hallelujah!.. What a blessed day when my Lord Jesus Christ died on that old rugged cross for my sin, So that I might have eternal life. Oh what a glorious day.
