Two weeks till Christmas

What does Christmas mean to you? I pray that to you it means Jesus born in a stable.

Some look at Christmas as the busiest time of the year. All the baking, shopping and decorating. All that is good as long as Jesus is remembered.

Some look at Christmas and want to change it from Christmas to Holiday.

Some look at Christmas as what God meant it to be.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to us.

I have my tree up and the house decorated I even just had my Christmas party as I have for four years now. I know what Christmas means to me. I don't do much shopping but I love to go to the stores and walk around and listen to the music. Actually I sing along.

It is overwhelming to think of how much God love us but let me tell you that if you were the only person on this earth God would of still sent Jesus. That is how much He loves you.

My girls are grown and sometimes we aren't all together on Christmas. My husband and I are talking about taking in a movie. There might be somebody there I can witness to or just have a kind word for them.

So do you know Jesus as your Saviour? If you don't it is quite simple. Just talk to Him. Say a prayer something like this:

Father,  I thank you for sending Jesus for me. Forgive all my sins. Jesus come into my heart and be my Saviour.  Amen.

How hard was that? You probably said a prayer like that back in your younger day when your parents forced you to go to religion classes. The difference is that back then you said it because you were told to say it. Now you said it because you wanted to.

I pray you all have the best blessed Christmas ever!

LUCK

I am sure it has happen to you at some time when something good has happen to you somebody says to you that it was luck.

If you are a christian let me tell you what I heard today. I heard somebody today name the letters for the word luck and it is so good.

L - laboring
U - under
C - correct
K - knowledge

In God we don't have luck. As I have said before we have favor. Also since when we do things we are doing them or laboring for God with His knowledge since our steps are ordered by the Lord. So that makes alot of sense to me. Laboring under correct (God's) knowledge. The bible also says we have the mind of Christ.

Faith Confession

Below is a confession of faith that I wrote out and thought I would share with all of you. Read it daily and you will have what it says. God wants you saved, healed and prosperous.

My steps are ordered by the Lord. I have more than enough time to do what needs to be done. I will learn to delegate as I need to so everything gets done.

I am totaling trusting God for everything. I am not settling for where I am. I’m a child of the Most High God. I’m full of His can-do power, and I’m going to rise up to become everything God has created me to be.  He holds me in the palm of His hands.

I am talented. I am creative. I am greatly favored by God. I am equipped. I am well able. I will see my dreams come to pass.

Jesus is my source! As I live by faith, He supplies all my needs, my wants, my health care, my finances and my eternal future. My life is built on the sure foundation of God’s Word… I live according to Faith, Hope and Love! My life is easy and light… Jesus has made it so!

I am a tither and a sower in the Kingdom of God so nothing can limit my income. The blessing is a heavenly empowerment and it’s on me for the rest of my life. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing will make me rich. 

I am wealthy, well off, well to do, prosperous, loaded, successful, I have plenty, I have abundance, I live ravishly, I am very productive, I am rich in resources and capable of producing an abundant harvest.

I am supposed to be healed! I am supposed to prosper! I am supposed to triumph in Christ Jesus! I am supposed to overcome the world! I look up and I cheer up!

My Lord has everything in control. I won’t be afraid. I cast all my cares. Jesus is in me therefore I will be successful. Devil you are already whipped.  I am clothed in a heavenly empowerment that enables me to excel and to go beyond all limitations in Jesus name. God has a wonderful plan for me in Jesus name and it came to pass.

Thank you Lord that this is all possible by Your grace and Your promises. When I say Amen You say done...Thank You for everything and loving me as You do.

Change

Change! What can I say about it. I can say we don't like it. We all have our own habits what we are use to so when change pokes it's head in we don't want anything to do with it.

My husband use to walk outside all the time. In the morning he would get up and go for a two mile or so walk before he went to work. He walked the same way everyday. Through downtown and over the bridge. When he would get accross the bridge there were some old taverns. One day when he was walking in front of the taverns he found two twenty dollar bills. He was so excited. God blessed him on his walk. After that when I wanted to walk some other way he didn't want to. He always wanted to walk in front of those taverns looking for more money.

I believe God blesses us over and over again. Not to often though does He bless us the same way twice. Change is good and comes from God. Over the years I have watched my husband be blessed again and again. I catch him watching for the next blessing the same way the last one came. It never happens that way.

I believe when we think that we have God all figured out He will change things to show us we don't.

To me it shows God has a sense of humor. I pray and believe Him for things and I think about how He might bring it to pass. It never comes the way I was thinking.

I am glad of that because even though the bible says we have the mind of Christ God's mind is much better than ours.

So the next time God upset's your comfort zone for change just let it happen. Change comes to improve our lives.

I am so glad that God never changes. The bible says He is the same yesterday today and forever.

Have the best day!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is this week. A time for family and friends to get together have a big meal and visit. My girls are grown and as of right now are not married so there are no grandchildren either. They are doing there own thing for the holiday.

My husband and I are on our own to do whatever we want to do this Thanksgiving. Maybe we will take in a movie or wonder a store that might be open.

I celebrate thanksgiving everyday. I am thankful to my God for every good gift from above.

Sometimes I think we get so wrapped up in the things that we don't have in life that we forget to be thankful for the little things we get everyday. I try to remember the little things. A gallon of milk, loaf of bread, soap and hot water. The little things that help us to get through our day.

My husband went hunting this weekend and I put aside everything that I might of been planning to do to spend the day with my daughter. Then since my husband was hunting on her property I rode back with her to ride back home with him. Life doesn't get any better than that. The little things.

With God all things are possible. I know that I love that and enjoy that.

Anyway I am thankful for you that might be reading this right now. I pray that you will always have everything that you will ever need in this life. Remember God loves you and wants to give you what you need.

Have the best Thanksgiving ever!

Hunting Season

Gun deer hunting season is this week. My husband is excited about it. I see he has all his things ready in the basement days before he is going. I myself don't see the excitement in the sport. Sitting in a tree in the cold watching and praying for a deer to come your way.

That is sort of what our job on this earth is as Christians. We don't have to be in the cold or sitting in a tree but we need to be watching and ready to tell others about Jesus. I love to encourage others with the message that I heard some 27 years ago.

I often wonder how my life would be different without my personal relationship with my Lord. I see people in the world and how they live without Jesus and I don't want any part of it. People without the knowledge of the God of the bible are just living their life wondering about the after life. They are afraid some are poor and most are unhappy.

When Jesus walked this earth He probably had chances to be afraid but He wasn't. He also wasn't poor as some say that He was. They shook dice for His garment when He was on the cross because it was woven all in one piece. Back in bible days if your garment was one piece you were considered rich. How could people even think that He was poor knowing God was His Father. Let me remind you that God owns everything so if your in Him everything He has is yours.

So if you are one of those unhappy people  today make up your mind that you will change that. That old saying life is to short might be a good saying but I will add to that. Life is to short to be unhappy. Normally it is people and circumstances that tend to make us unhappy. Over the years I have learned that when you encounter somebody that is not kind to you instead of getting upset or offended think about what that person might be going through that would make them mean. Maybe they just lost a love one, there job or they are just lonely. We have know idea what others go through in this life so reach out to them even if they have a bad attitude. Most of the time we can reach out to people without even mentioning the name Jesus but in our actions Jesus is seen.

So decide to stay happy in the Lord and reach out to others as the time is short. You may be the only Jesus they will ever see.

So as my husband goes out this Super Saturday and shots his buck my prayer is that every hunter bags his buck also.

I heard this from someone else about the days of the week.
Mon. is marvelous Monday.
Tues. is terrific Tuesday.
Wed. is wonderful Wednesday.
Thurs is tremendous Thursday.
Fri. is fabulous Friday.
Sat. is super Saturday.
Sun. is splendid Sunday.

Christmas is near

We are having a beautiful fall day in fact the last few days. Everyday is a beautiful day but I mean we are in Nov. and no jackets.

I brought my Christmas Tree up from the basement today. I love just having the lights on it. Jesus is the light of the world. I start now and do little by little decorating. My husband and I have a open house the second Sat. of Dec. so I have to be ready.

Christmas is the best time of the year. You can talk about Jesus to people and they don't think that you are nuts.

I am helping a neighbor out watching their children and the other day the four year old and I were talking. She already has her Christmas songs out and we were listening to them. We were talking about Jesus and I asked her if she knew that Jesus wasn't a baby anymore. She told me she hadn't heard that. I told her Jesus was a man like her daddy was. I'll tell you kids can be so cute when they open there mouth.

As we come into Thanksgiving and Christmas lets remember that He isn't a babe in a manger anymore He is our Saviour. He is seated at the right hand of the Father and daily makes intercession for all of us.

Just a little nugget for now about Christmas because as those who can't get past tradition I have been told that we have Thanksgiving first.

I don't know about you but I have Thanksgiving everyday. God is so good.
