THE RANSOM

ONE DAY, A KIDNAPPER CAME,

HE TOOK OUR BEINGS,

AND I KNOW HIS NAME.

HIS NAME IS SATAN,

HE LOVES TO KIDNAP OUR SOULS,

HE SNEAKS IN WITHOUT OUR SEEING;

GOD LOVES THE SOULS OF HIS CHILDREN,

HE KNOWS US BY NAME,

HE SENT THE RANSOM BY JESUS,

JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD,

ON THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS,

WHERE HE PROCLAIMED “IT IS FINISHED”,

YOUR SOULS ARE SET FREE,

NOW YOU HAVE LIFE FOR ETERNITY,

BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED IN ME.

~WINSTON STAPLES

JUST THINKING!

A NEW DAY!

EACH MORNING AT DAWN,

I OPEN MY EYES, STRETCH MY ARMS,

OPEN MY MOUTH WITH A YAWN.

I GO TO MY STUDY,

I TAKE MY MEDS,

LISTEN TO MY BIBLE READING,

AND LET MY SOUL BE FED.

EACH MORNING WHEN I AWAKE,

IT TAKES HOURS TO CALM,

SLOWLY CALM MY PAIN FILLED  BONES,

AND SHAKE THIS PAIN FROM MY HEAD.

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO AWAKE,

THAN TO SPEAK TO GOD OUR FATHER,

THANKING HIM FOR HIS PROTECTION IN THE NIGHT,

AND ASK HIM TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS DAY.

THANK YOU FATHER FOR SENDING YOUR SON,

TO SAVE OUR WEARY SOULS, AND THANK YOU,

THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR TEACHING THE WORD,

GOD’S HOLY WORD AS IT IS READ.

SOULS WILL BE REDEEMED AS WE OPEN THE PAGES,

AND PRAYERFULLY READ ABOUT YOUR AGAPE LOVE,

AND YOUR AMAZING GRACE THAT EVERYONE NEEDS!

THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR PROVIDING OUR NEEDS!

BIBLE VERSES!

Proverbs 3:3-10

King James Version

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

THANKSGIVING QUOTES!

O, men! grown sick with toil and care,
Leave for a while the crowded mart;
O, women! sinking with despair,
Weary of limb and faint of heart,
Forget your cares to-day, and come
As children back to childhood's house!...
When all you knew of life was good,
And all you dreamed of life was sweet;
And let fond memory lead you back,
O'er youthful love's enchanted track...
~Phoebe Cary, "Thanksgiving," 1881


My friends, — Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow, which may mean every day, or once in seven days, at least. ~Dr. Le Grand, A Thanksgiving Sermon, as quoted in Charles W. Sanders, Sanders' Union Speaker, 1864

1 Peter 1:3-8

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
