what I want for Christmas and the New Year

I just want everyone to be content, satisfied, and healed. I want peace and joy in the world. I want forgiveness and grace abound. I want God to reign in every heart. I want sickness to cease. I want families to be strong. I want people to be kind and respectful. I want senseless killing to end. I want war to end. I want the ten commandments to rule the world. I want everyone to think before they speak or react. I want people to consider what the other person may feel first. I want the golden rule to lead every decision. I want churches to be filled. I want everyone to know God’s word is the sovereign truth. I want to hear good news at 6 o’clock. I want to hear church bells on Sunday morning. I want to see manners again. I want to know that everything is based on God’s principles. I want to hear yes mam and no mam. I want to hear excuse me. I want to hear others first. I want to believe the world is good and safe. I want scams to cease. I want people to do right. I want life to be quiet and calm and happy. I want men to be gentlemen and women to be virtuous. I want these things to be what everyone wants.

all is calm, all is bright

just give it a try

What a year! I don’t need to make a list. If you know anything about the past, you will remember 2020. I just wish it would end with the end of the year. I don’t think it will. There is no vaccine. There is no peace. There is no guarantees when you speak of weather. God can fix anything. He can make anything possible but he cannot make people behave, believe, or be kind and respectful. Why can more people not realize this? Why can people not see that troubles come when we avoid God’s laws and misrepresent His word. Instead they rewrite His word, leave verses out and call it old fashion and not applicable. All this is wrong. His word is truth. The verses are ALL there for a reason. The scriptures are more applicable today than ever. God is our only hope. Respect. Kindness. Hope. Strength. Comfort. Forgiveness. Love. Peace. All are possible if we just believe it and follow it. I believe. I am a Christian. I am hopeful. I know God is the answer to it all. I hope you do too. If not I pray you will soon. God is the answer to all our problems. He can fix anything. He will always be with us. We may walk away but He never will. Talk with Him. Be still and listen. He has a plan just for you. Even if Covid doesn’t go away, storms hit, and people fight each other who are different, God is still God. We need to realize that and be true to Him. He will be true to us. Being a Christian does not mean you will have not troubles. Look at Christ, the Son of God, He did things right but in the end He suffered for us. We must be willing to suffer for Him. Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him. How I need Him every day. Jesus, Jesus, how believe Him. How I need Him every hour.

it's an easy habit if you do it daily

God is watching

Every day the world needs us to pray for it!!!!

God's Design for You

God's design for our life is greater than our own.

He designs intricacies we could never create for ourselves.

If we stay open and in His will our lives will be infinitely better.

 

There’s a delicious feel of autumn in the air today.

There’s a few leaves falling and a slight coolness to the skin.

Hope returns for me in the fall.

Holidays close in and maybe family gatherings.

Peace and contentment tempt me.

Stillness arrives.

I sit quietly and meditate on possibilities.

 

 

finding peace in a world of troubles

 

Tired of Satan’s lies

I will not listen

 

Comforted by Jesus Christ

I will rest

 

Fed up with Satan’s tricks

I will not look

 

Blessed by God’s goodness

I will give thanks

 

Annoyed with Satan’s persistence

I will not notice

 

Strengthened by the Holy Spirit’s presence

I will persevere

 

Sick of Satan’s behavior

I will not accept

 

Established in Christ’s Jesus’ truth

I will stand firm

 

Exasperated with Satan’s deception

I will not acknowledge

 

Fortified by the Trinity

I will go forward

 

 

 

The answers are in God's word
