Christmas, O Holy Night..

What a precious gift is ours by faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life.'

This has been a busy day and fun. We toured a historical local house.....decorated for Christmas and a craft sale across the road from it. There was a mother and daughter playing duets on their harps in the house. The outdoor kitchen had a huge fireplace with a crackling hot fire in it, and a big cauldren of hot cider for all visitors.

The harpist was so sweet....she wants to get together with me and play cello & harp duets. This coming week I have my cataract surgery. I've heard all kinds of stories, good and bad. I'm praying my story will be a good one.

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.'
