Todays Scripture!

 Sometimes I am asked what my favourite book of the Bible and I reply Romans; Sometimes I am asked what are favourite chapters are and I reply Romans five and eight King James version. I love the letters Apostle Paul wrote to the church bodies he help start and minister to the Gentiles. I am sharing Romans 5:1-10 today.

5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

A Writing!

As I look,

at the rushing brook,

I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”.

As I look,

at the forest green,

I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”.

As I look,

at the mighty pines,

I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”.

As I look,

at the majestic hills,

I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”.

As I look,

at the everlasting skies,

I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”.

Observations

 I sit looking across the hills,

watching the birds fly,

flying to and fro,

to the bird feeder,

across the road.

The hills have lost,

their beautiful multi-colors,

and now are greens and grey;

soon the will be covered,

with a white blanket,

when they receive ,

the first fall of snow.

So let's sing praises

to our Heavenly Father,

all ye voices on high,

and all ye voices below,

lifting a sweet sound,

as we sing "How great thou art"

and a hearty rendition,

of "Joy to the world"

and "God rest ye merry gentlemen",

"O what a friend we have in Jesus"

and close our singing,

with "O Holy Night".

Bible Reading!

Colossians 3:10-14

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.

King Foretold!

10 And the angel said unto them, 

Fear not: for, behold, 

I bring you good tidings of great joy, 

which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day

 in the city of David a Saviour,

 which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:10,11

Christmas

As time speeds forwards to Christmas,

Put a smile on your face.

and a song in your heart,

and as you share your new attitude,

others will find new feelings,

they will enlighten the Christmas spirit.

SEEING!

This morning,

I opened the front door,

I heard something,

I looked into the sky,

a gaggle of Canada geese,

were landing,

in their v formation,

into a large corn field,

whose golden ears,

they will fleece.

The sight and sounds,

are a sure sign,

that Autumn is here;

Such a pretty time,

to see God’s creation,

so colorful, so supreme.

Thank you Father,

for being always around,

watching, the sky, the sea,

and on the ground!
