Greetings All

Greetings in the Peace Giving Name of Jesus Christ,
As an elderly man was being driven to the assisted living facility, his son was telling him about the activities and the accomodations. "I love it," said his father. "But Dad, you haven't seen it yet," the son replied. "Doesn't matter," piped the father, "I'm going to live there, so I'm going to love it!" Wow! What an attitude! Do we address life that way? It doesn't matter what life brings on, God is with us, and we can love it. In fact, Paul advises us to 'count it all joy'.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

It's not always easy, but it is always possible.
May God Richly Bless You All!

Greetings All

Greetings in the Refreshing Name of Jesus Christ,
Are you tired of the winter weather yet? I sure am! Fear not, Spring is just around the corner. At my mother's house I saw a few Daffodils poking their heads out of the ground! It's wonderful to see; it means Spring is on the way and new life with it! So it is with Jesus! Letting Jesus into your heart breaks the cold hold the world has on you, and brings new life! Get rid of the Winter blues, bask in the Son and the Spring will come!

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

May God Richly Bless You All!

Are you doing things your way?

Greetings in the Guiding Name of Jesus Christ!

Did you know why Moses wasn't allowed to enter the promised land? God had once told Moses to tap a rock and water would flow from it. Moses did, the water did. The second time around, God told Moses to speak to a rock, and water would flow from it, but Moses decided to do things his way. Instead of speaking to the rock, Moses tapped it with his staff.

Numbers 20:8
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

Numbers 20:11
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also].

Numbers 20:12
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

When God says you need only speak, believe it, and do it His way!

May God Richly Bless You All!
