Its been a very busy day ...we are having a great time with our family. A special time. Just thought I'd hurry and post at the end of the day. I have so much I am thankful for tonight. At the top of the list is that the Lord's mercies in the weather. Even though we heard that there were fender-benders, the roads we travelled to the airport were pretty good and not icy. Psalm 103:1-2..."Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." God is watching us with tender compassion, are we responding to all his benefits of offered salvation? To know God is to have a relationship with our Creator through his son, Jesus Christ. Hope your Christmas is centered around Christ!

sparrow's song said...: Is that a Precious Moment's Angel?

We have an angel we bought in Japan that we put on the top of the Christmas tree every year. But it doesn't go back in the box at the end of the season. The angel is put on the top of the Curio until taken down again in December.

You shared,

I love this..."watching with tender compassion." Sometimes I foolishly judge God to have my same sour mood in moments. I have to quickly repent of that! The enemy can whisper those lies and when entertained, we lose sight of who God really is and how He loves us. Let us refocus to Him this season and meditate on His goodness, righteous character, and gentle heart but always keeping in mind that He is as much a God of justice as well as love. There is none Holy as the Lord.

Oh my goodness! A relationship with God? This is unheard of in many religions. But yes, it's not only possible but it's what He desires. We are blessed beyond measure. I could almost pop with pleasure knowing that He is mine and I am His.

I woke myself singing praise songs in my sleep. Then I laughed and my husband chuckled at me as he rolled over and went back to sleep. This morning we laughed about it again as we wrapped gifts.; 9:55 AM

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
