2018

As we search our thoughts about, this past year and remind ourselves of things, gone by. Let us also look forward to the coming year with hope and love in our hearts, as we reach a milestone and move on to another. Remember the one's we've lost and the one's yet to come, for our future depends on the new one's that come to us from now on. God bless you all and may you have wonderful peace, this coming year, no matter what we may face.
God's peace and love to you my friends and readers.......

Spirit of Christmas

May we, seek a bright, particular star to guide us in our celebration of the Savior’s birth. May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender, caring heart as our gift to the Savior.

Kingdom of Heaven Library

I came across this website while surfing my facebook page, and thought it might be something I could utilize with this blog.  While I have put the link to the website here in my blog, I found that the strict "Terms of Service", were something, that I might overstep, should I get into posting here on my blog.  
Times, are that I will get into the spirit of things that I am posting about and place "references, quotes, pictures, scriptures, etc. into the posting to make my subject more interesting.  It's here that I may overstep some of their rules.  This is something I wouldn't want to do, so therefore, I did not make an account with them.  
Here is the link should you decide that you can comply with their terms of service rules, better I I possibly would.    https://kingdomofheavenlibrary.com/   I found some good information and scripture reading there, which I'm sure will be of benefit to many people.  I hope that posting this link will prove a positive effort for the website, as well as this blog.

3 Wise Men

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the day of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child, and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and , lo, the star which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew 2:1-11

Behold.........

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matthew 1:22-25

And Then......

From out of the blue a strength came to me and I know that God was behind it all.  I fell into this horrible depression about my relationship and there was no help in sight.  As I languished in my sadness and pain of loosing the one thing I so dearly desired, I found my heart reaching for help.  God, is the only one who can help when you get this far down.  I knew it, just was wanting to put my all into this relationship, and felt I was giving it all I had.  It looks as though I either gave too much too soon, or it still wasn't enough.  Either way the strength to get through today, is there and I am holding on to the one thing that can get me through.  God.  
As I work through the loneliness and uncertainties of the situation, I know that I can reach out to God, for help and strength to maintain each minute of the day.

Of No Use?

The next time you feel like GOD can't use YOU, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah
 was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
 
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
AND Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now!! God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

It's Almost Here

Winter is almost here in Texas, and now it feels more like the Christmas season.  I'm not a cool weather person, and get cold very easy when a small wind passes by.  The hard freezes are times when I hunker down where it's warm and watch a good movie or TV show.  You will find me covered up with a blanket on the couch while doing so.  Either way, the nice 70 degree temps we had recently were more my liking.

Everywhere, Lately

Lately, it seems so many a passing on to their Heavenly home.  Many have passed, but not to a Heavenly home, because they just didn't know the Lord, or even care to.
We've lost one of our personal family members, and there are many who also have lost family members. 
In the last few days, the news has reported close to 10+ deaths of individuals, who are known nationwide/worldwide, in one fashion or another.  It is my wonder, whether our Lord is ridding or rescuing the one's he is taking from this world?
As I look at the recent list of those who have passed, I see one or two, who may have not lived well enough to become a citizen of Heaven.  Sad is the word, that can only be used, since many of us are glad, these people are no longer with us. 
Sad, is the word we use when looking at the reason some others passed.  Be it health matters, or just passing because it was their time to go.
Utmost condolences, go to family, friends and coworkers involved in these people's live.  Prayers, for all who have dealt with the sadness of watching their loved one, fight a disease or illness, only to grow weak from it's onslaught.  God, knows what he's doing, and I find comfort in knowing this.......

It is with deep sadness that I request your prayers, for my brother in law and sister.  He is going through the hardest part of cancer at the present and if the chemo doesn't stop it, then we will lose a very sweet man..........I call all the prayer warriors, to put Don on your list and call the powers of God's Almighty hand to be at work in his life.........
My sister is in need of prayer, for her comfort and strength as she deals with this situation.  Keep her lifted up, in Jesus Name.......... I thank you........

Lift Up

Our people in Las Vegas, NV, need to be lifted up in prayer.  Many were from other states, out there to vacation and enjoy the Country Music Festival. Why or what may have set off this attack on innocent people, is in God's hands.
Since the person who did the sad attack, is also dead, we may never know what his reasons were.  Lives were lost and many were also injured, from the gun shots sprayed down upon the crowds.  It is a sad thing to live through and experience.  May the Lord lift up the one's who are still alive and the families, of those who are gone.
God, will have to take care of the horrible things this person caused, with his comfort in the coming days.  Condolences to all who have been affected.

Prayers For the Family

The posting on Facebook this morning gave her reports of her husband's going home.  He is now free of pain, and she must look toward the future as it develops.  Her life has been a good one and now she faces it alone, to embark on a different journey.
The loss of her husband will be felt by all who knew him and his family.  My condolences to each one, as they go through the present grief and decisions.  Prayers to my friend that she may live in comfort knowing she did her best..........

Great Sadness

A close friend, who is related to my sister, is sitting with her husband at a hospital, in ICU.  Hospice, is being brought in, since his health declined this morning.  She's a strong lady, but even this is hard for someone to go through.  I've been there, I know what it's like and it's very rough.
Please pray for her and him, during this awful time and in the coming months of grief.

THANK YOU LORD

Today, I look around at the world we live in and see so much turmoil.  People, are living the best way they can and those of us who have a life with the comforts on a daily basis, feel as though we are in some way sinning.  I say this because we see so many who are without a home, because of the devastating weather, recently and those who are sick from some incurable diseases.  Those whose lives have been torn to pieces, not from their own doing, but from matters out of their control.
Yes, I have my problems, and yes they are giving me unwanted stress.  Yet, I can see things going on  that make my problems, look small in comparison.  This gives me a comfort in knowing that I should be grateful for the things in my life and pray for the problems that I see nearby.  I can rest in the knowledge that the Lord, has his hand on my life and problems.  I can thank him for the goodness, he has given me, knowing that I am truly blessed.  
Today, is a good time for all of us to be thankful for the good that is in our lives, and pray for the one's less fortunate.......

Grateful

My body knows when it's not feeling right........and yet, it can't tell me what is really wrong.  Thus, I had to do all these xray's, and CT scan to find out anything.  Seems, things aren't as bad as they seemed.  What is wrong, is that a 72yr. old woman got in a hurry to finish mowing the yard and set the riding lawnmower, up a faster speed.  You understand it was really hot that day.  So, it just took off forward in what you call  a lerch and almost left me on the ground.  In doing so, it pulled a muscle in my right side.  The pain, made me to think I had something really bad, like a disease of some kind.  It still grabs me if I move the wrong way, but not as bad as before.  Praying, really gave me more assurance, than I knew.
Either way, I'm taking those pills and doing as I was told..........now, the slow process of getting better, and thanking God, that it wasn't something worse.

Another Update

Had a CAT scan yesterday, and there's nothing that should be causing this pain in my right side.  Some small things are wrong with me, but nothing major.  Still they want me to go to the ER and get a EKG on my heart.........I'm good with that.......just wondering why I keep having so much stool, when I took laxative 2 days in a row.......here you have an underlying situation, still undetected.
Thanks be to the all mighty God, for his help in this situation........ thanks to people who have been lifting me up as well...........don't stop............I still need your prayers............... we all do.

Crescent Heights Optometry

 A regular eye exam is an important part of maintaining your overall health and making your vision last a lifetime. Early identification and treatment of conditions that can often have no visible symptoms is key to protecting your sight. A number of eye conditions and diseases can threaten your sight.  You need to contact http://www.crescentheightsoptometry.com, in Calgary, AB.

Mine was cataracts, which is distorted or cloudy vision caused by the lens inside the eye losing its transparency over time. Cataracts can require changes to your glasses or surgical removal.  I needed surgery very badly and was almost blind. I’m glad I found a good place here where I reside.  You can too if you live in Canada, where this place is located, it’s a great idea for your eye health.

Music Store

Everyone, knows that to get the best possible service, you go to a local store.  At least that's the way we've been thinking, most of our life.  Today, you can go to an online store and find just about anything you want to purchase.  Now, if you were looking to buy musical instruments, you naturally would click on the  instrument store check it out at GuitarCenter  to shop for your needs.  Here's the place with all your musical instruments, brand names, and accessories.

God is Good

Have you ever been out somewhere and thought you had left something cooking on the stove?  Well, it's not the first time I've rushed home to find whether or not made such a mistake.
About 5 years ago, I did and there was a big mess to clean when I got back.  Boiled eggs that have blown up all over the place, don't smell too great.  It's takes a few minutes to find all the broken shell parts and get them cleaned up. 
Recently, I found myself driving when the thought came to me that I might have left a pan on the stove and it would be red hot, if I did.  I could see all types of things happening, like the house catching on fire.
I started praying while driving as legally as I could to get back, and thanks to the Lord, he answered prayer.  The pan was cold and the stove was off..........a sigh of relief came across me as I thanked him for his goodness.

Amps

Are you tuning up for those outdoors gigs, this spring and summer?  I'm sure you know whether or not your instruments are up to date and ready to perform.  There's always that last minute thing you need to buy before your concert.  Check out the website at  bass amp at musiciansfriend.com  for all your musical needs.  Don't wait until your on stage and find you don't have it.

SCRIPTURES

1 Peter 4:12-14 ESV

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

Our First Lady

We Pray

When we commit to pray for someone else’s needs, we’re sharing their burden and offering to intercede on their behalf before our Father. He already knows their needs, of course, but our participation through prayer is for our benefit as much as theirs. We are changed when we share at a prayer-level sight line.

Prayer provides us access to the most powerful Force in the world. But it also opens a connection of compassion between us.

I borrowed this from an email, I received.............

Prayers

Recently, I met online, a lady who is fighting for her life, against breast cancer.  In the last few days, she has been told that the chemo treatments are not working and she must have surgery to remove it.  Then on to stronger chemo treatments.
It is my prayer that this person, who has touched my life, will come through this ordeal in glorious beauty to show the Lord's great and mighty works. I ask that you stand with me in prayer for her healing from this thing........... I thank you!

Bass Tuning

There's always a need to get instruments tuned in accord with each other, for uniform harmony in music.  Sometimes, you can do it with the other instruments that are with  your band, but other times, it takes a professional to do the  5 string bass tuning  for the best performance.  A band can really sound out of harmony with one instrument being out of tune.  To get expert advice about this service, click on the link in this post.
