 Proverbs 3:5-10

King James Version

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.

JUST THINKING!

 JUST THINKING!

EIGHTY YEARS AGO ON THIS DATE A BOUNCING BABY BOY WAS BORN ON A COLD DECEMBER MORNING WHO HAS GROWN A LOT IN THESE EIGHTY YEARS PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY  AND SPIRITUALLY. OVER 2000 YEARS AGO ON WHAT DAY WE ARE NOT SURE A BOUNCING BABY BOY WAS BORN IN A MANANGER IN BETHLAHEM, TO MARY AND JOSEPTH WHO CHANGED THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. HE CAME TO LIVE FOR THIRTY THREE YEARS AND THEN DIED ON A TREE BARING THE SIN OF THE WORLD, YES, EVEN THE SIN OF YOU AND ME. SO LET'S REJOICE AND PRAISE HIM, FOR HIS VICTORY OVER SIN AND DEATH AND THIS IS HIS GIFT FOR YOU AND ME IF WE PUT OUR FAITH IN HIM, WITH HIM WE WILL LIVE FOR ETERNITY! THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS WAS WRAPPED IN SWADLING CLOTHES WAS GOD'S LOVE, THROUGH THE LOVE OF HIS CHILD, FOR YOU AND ME!

COME INTER THE HOLY BOOK!

 Colossians 3:10-17

King James Version

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

PRECIOUS THOUGHTS!

 Hello my dear friends,

another year as about gone,

I miss my deceased wife,

since she was called home.

I could not have walked on,

walked this road called life,

without my Heavenly Father,

and my family and friends;

this old road has steep hills

and winding bends,

so I lift my eyes,

and direct my hearts thoughts,

more thoughts toward Heaven.

I keep watching the clouds,

for my Savior to call me;

His name is Jesus,

He is coming to take,

take us to our heavenly home.

Heaven, a everlasting home,

a home without sin, pain and strife;

where there is neither day or night.

With God's glory, wonderful glory,

shinning so bright,

there is no need for the sun,

the sun in the day,

and moon and stars at night.

Thank you Jesus,

 for saving our souls,

and giving us white robes,

then as we gather around,

yes, gather around God's throne;

Safely, yes, safely home,

home with Jesus,

never more to roam!

O Holy Night

WORDS TO LIVE BY!

 Psalm 119:1-15

King James Version

119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.

13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

A FAVORITE OF MINE!

Philippians 4:6-9 King James Version 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
