Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, is well known scripture. It was even made a song back in the 70s about times and seasons. Every day, every hour, every year, brings us one day closer to the moment of Christ’s return. The only way I can get through today is knowing I have made my reservation and I am ready when He does come. As a father and a grandpa, that’s all I pray for now it seems like, is the salvation of my family. The reassurance we need going into 2019 is that we have a living, resurrected Savior, who wants us to be with Him forever by asking Him into our hearts. If you haven’t, what a great way to enter 2019, if you already are born again,trusting Christ with your salvation, let’s totally give Him the reins to the new year. If The Lord doesn’t come today let’s be sold out for Him in 2019, and live each day like it could be the day of His return, because someday it will :-) Have a safe New Year’s Eve !!!!!

When John was taken to the island of Patmos as punishment for spreading the gospel, those soldiers had no clue as to what they had just done. They had placed John right where God wanted him in order to write the book of Revelation. An Angel showed John the river of water flowing through the streets of gold, the coolest thing about the River is there will be a tree there, called the tree of life, that produces fruit every month. The throne of God and of Jesus will be in that city. There’s another cool thing John promised us,it will never be night!! The Lord God will always give us light!! In John’s 22nd chapter, 12th verse,he promises that Christ is returning soon for each and everyone of us that believe in Him, along with a fantastic reward system!!! Hope you know Him, if you don’t. why not do it today, instead of waiting for the new year, CHRIST could return before then!!! Enjoy your Lords Day!!!
So this time of year everybody starts thinking of all the New Year’s resolutions they’re going to keep for at least 10 days :-) Heres something that you might want to think about though over the next few days, if you’re going to promise something to The King of Kings,remember all He wants from us is loyalty,not halfhearted ideas!!
Have a Good Saturday:-) As always preaching to myself as well!!!! You’ve heard the saying “you are what you eat “:-) Jeremiah 15:16,definitely goes along with that. “Your Words were found, and I ate them, and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart”
Slow down while you’re feasting on The Word of God, it’s easier to digest when you go slow :-) Plus you’ll pick up a lot more nutrients along the way!! Have a great Friday!!!! We feel loved when someone in our family,or a super close friend ,takes the time to listen to us,and talk to us. In Hebrews 4:12, Paul tells us,God speaks to us through His Word,to our hearts!! Psalm 62:8,He wants us to pour out our hearts to Him about everything!!! We know God because we believe in Him through our faith, we feel His love for us by reading His Word,and being His friend!!!! What A Friend We Have In Jesus!!! Read His Word, it’s a love letter He wrote to all of us!!! Have A Good Thursday!
Hope you had a great Christmas :-) I sure did :-) being in the lawn care,landscaping, snow removal business, equipment is huge. Yesterday my daughter and son-in-law did a great job of disguising my gift in the way they presented it to me,and there was a brand new riding zero turn lawn mower in their garage :-) To know that piece of equipment will be sitting there for our first mow next spring is unbelievable assurance. I can’t help but think of the promises there are in The Scriptures, if you study and read them. Every day will be like Christmas day in heaven, when we get there. The short time we’re here on earth will determine how many of those brand new zero turn lawn mowers we’ll have waiting for us :-) THANKS Kelli and Jon,a brand new dump trailer, and now a brand new mower all in the same year,I don’t deserve it!!! Just like I don’t deserve a SAVIOUR that died for my sins!!! Let’s just say I’m counting my blessings today :-) Have a good Tuesday!!!
“”For Unto Us A Child Is Born””
MERRRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!! Can’t help but think of the giving of gifts this time a year. Luke of course, reminds us what God gave to the world,His Only Begotten Son!!! As you finish up your shopping, looking for that perfect gift for someone :-) remember that perfection arrived 2018 years ago., He is a gift that will return, you have a life time here on earth to receive Him and get a passport for heaven!! This is a gift you can’t buy, it’s been paid for, you have to believe it,and receive it!!! Merry Christmas Eve!!!!!
I remember growing up and loving” Christmas Time” each year. I knew it had something to do about a very special person being born, God‘s Only Son. It wasn’t until about eight years later I realized there had to be a Cradle at Christmas,for a Cross on Good Friday, and to give us hope on Easter Sunday. There’s your Christmas!!!! Have a great Friday :-) And praise Jesus I am ready for Christmas 4 days early!!! There’s nothing that can get you out of the Christmas Spirit quicker than going out shopping this weekend !!!!! AMEN. :-)
It took George Frederic Handel 24 days to write the unbelievable song we all sing, The Hallelujah Chorus!!! He was bankrupt himself when he wrote it,and when it started to get performed, it was used as a fund raiser to free men from a prison!!! For unto us a child is given!!!!! After he had written it he commented, that he saw all of heaven and God himself as he wrote that beautiful song!! Next time you hear it I hope it makes you cry, it should!! Have a great Thursday
