Food For Thought- Christ Was Born

I have been making crafts , cards and such for my friends. I started thinking of nativity scenes and the thought of Our Savior came to be. Since I have had barns with animals and know how the stable can be. Nativity scenes always look so pretty.
It gave me a perspective I have not thought about before. I know alot of times the trying to make things about my life and the way that I am better than it is came to mind.
Christ for sure started his long suffering for us long before the cross. I mean, the stable I am sure was smelly, plus the poky hay in the manger.
Praise God He loves me and I don't need to polish my life. Thou that is a fight not to want to polish it up. I hope to encourage others that our lives are redeemed in such a real way.

Under Snow

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at ...

John The Babtist Thoughts

Hi again. It is interesting how Shammah was talking about John at the same time that Amy Carmichael thought of him. She brought out when John sent the disiples to Jesus to ask Him if He is the one or not? His response for them to go back and tell John what they have seen and heard. John must have been so encouraged. Luke 7:22-23 Go your way, and tell John.... Before they got to the end of the mighty things they were to tell him, John's heart must have kindled with new hope: My Lord can do all that, He is doing all that, He is ominipotent. He is my loving Lord, and He is very near. He who is doing all these things will do great things for me. I shall soon be free- He who is opening the prison doors of death will open my prison door. Can you not hear him say it, or least feel him think it, as he listens to all the things His Lord can, and has done. And then instead of a promise and quick help, " Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended with Me"- Matt 11:6 and that ...
