Monday Quotes!

Dwight Lyman Moody

1873-1899

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me,

and circumstances will mar it;

but joy flows right on through trouble;

joy flows through the dark;

joy flows in the night as well in the day;

joy flows all through persecution and the opposition.

Men and Angels Sing!

Today men and angels sing

we praise and worship

the birth of our King.

Today sinners and angels sing

giving thanks and glory

for the lost have been redeemed

by the King.

Tomorrow the redeemed and angels shall sing

Honor and Glory to

the lamb that was slain

for the returning

of the King!

AMEN.

May all be blessed with the Merry-est Christmas ever, Amen!

Monday Quote!

Benjamin Franklin

1706-1790

How many observe Christ’s  birthday! How few, His precepts! O! ’tis easier to keep Holidays than commandments.

This is the last of the Ben Franklin quotes for a while. I am not sure why I use these quotes yet I was feeling led by the Lord to do so. I do admire Benjamin Franklin for his wisdom even tho many have said he was not a Christian. I myself am not sure, only our God can judge that.

Face to Face

I have tried to write a new Christmas poem this year and what I came up with was poor. Seeing how I have so many new followers now and many have never read this poem I was thinking it might be time to reblog this one. In this poem you will read what Christmas means to me from Dec. 16, 20012; Face to Face. God Bless and Merry Christmas!

Men of One Accord

 He became a baby,

born in a stable of Bethlehem,

born from a virgin,

wrapped in rags,

laid in a manger,

so we could love Him

Face to Face.

He was proclaimed by angels,

worshiped by shepherds,

designated with a star,

sought by eastern wise men,

hunted by Herod,

so we could love Him

Face to Face.

Driven into Egypt,

returns to Nazareth,

was strong in the Spirit,

and filled with wisdom,

Abba’s grace was upon Him,

He amazed the scholars,

worked with His hands,

 was only a son of a carpenter,

so we could love Him

Face to Face.

He was baptized in the Jordan,

heaven’s regal gates opened,

 like a dove as the Spirit descended,

Abba’s royal thunder exclaimed,

I AM well pleased!

This is My Son,

led into the wilderness,

hungry and thirsty

tested and tempted,

He sinned not,

so we could love Him

Face to Face.

Monday Quote!

Benjamin Franklin

1706-1790

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Comfort or Peace?

Which is it,

I seek

comfort or Peace?

If I am comfortable,

do I truly have Peace?

If I am comfortable

could I not become

complacent?

If I am complacent,

will I not become

fearful,

that I might become

Un-comfortable?

If I am fearful and un-comfortable

then where is

Peace?

Yet if I am

un-comfortable and not fearful

could I still have

Peace?

My Abba,

Let me not grow

comfortable in this world

where I will become

complacent and fearful.

Yet help me to be

un-comfortable in this world

and fill me with Your

Peace.

Amen.

Benjamin Franklin

1706-1790

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

 

Misty Morning Tears!

On a certain day so long ago,

in God’s garden paradise,

man sinned.

Earth and man are now

cursed.

Watery the grave entered and the

First Misty Morning Tears

Fell.

On a certain day not so distant,

God’s strong arms

will open wide,

Heavenly Gates of Paradise.

Where God’s only Son

shall wipe a way,

the last of

Misty Morning Tears.

Watery the grave has been defeated

forever!

Amen.

Educate your children to self-control to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
