"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:15-18

HE IS RISEN!

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus,which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Have a blessed Christmas with family and friends!

This is the day 

which the LORD hath made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalms 118:24

~♥~

What a short and simple scripture. Yet it speaks volumes. 

If we would just do what this simple scripture tells us to do, our lives would be so peaceful and enjoyable.  One thing we need to remember is, this verse does NOT say...This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice on the days that are perfect, problem free and easy and we'll be glad for those days. 

So, do we rejoice in every day, or just those that are joyful and pleasant? Let's work on that, every day, wake up first thing in the morning and start rejoicing for your day to come. Continue rejoicing till your head hits your pillow that night. I'm sure we'll see a difference in our lives.

He is Risen!

Continue Your Prayers!

Today I am very sad for our country (though, proud that we have come so far as to have our first African American President). Actually to the level of discernment, ESPECIALLY among fellow CHRISTIANS.

I still have peace knowing that God is in control. I also know that with Americans praying for McCain & Obama to be elected, God could allow the majorities have what they want even if it's not the best thing for them at the moment (read in I Samuel 8:5-22, Israel asked Samuel for a "king" to rule over them. Even after the Lord told them how it would be, they still wanted one. So, the Lord gave them one...King Saul).

So, I'm thinking our new President-elect is our (the American people) "King Saul". So many were blinded by his celebrity status and his mesmerizing speeches, but didn't really listen to the words being said.

Now that President-elect Obama is our new president, he will have my prayers for his strength, his safety and his wisdom. We all need to pray for this great nation, remember that this country was founded on God. We must return to His Will for America.

You can find great comfort in God's Word. Grab your bible, read His Word and pray for his guidance. Here's some verses to get you started...


I Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
~*~
Psalms 24:1
The earth is the LORD's,
and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
~*~
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness.
~*~
Psalms 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
