Idea: When those you know are sinners, the kind that groan, moan and complain, gossip, badmouth, swear, use God’s name like a dirty rag — and then have the nerve to say: “Good morning.” YOU SAY: “IT IS!” WHY? BECAUSE: YOU KNOW these kind of folks are not having a good morning! They can’t! They are not inviting God into their morning! Pray they see you’re not accepting their lie; pray they receive the Holy Spirit’s conviction – because their…..
TWINZZ! TODAY, FEBRUARY 16, YOU ARE SIXTEEN! You probably know this! (SMILE!) In honor of you, Chanelle, this “JOY STORY’ is dedicated… Before I get to the main point of my story, TWINZZ, I first have the pleasure of telling you something about Chanelle. She is my firstborn granddaughter – and loves me very much, as I do her, of course. Chanelle has some of the most amazing blue eyes: those she gets from her mother. Truly, they are the…..
CHRISTIANS – CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE WITHOUT FEAR! CELEBRATE WITHOUT COMPROMISE! CELEBRATE CHRIST AND HIS COMPLETED WORK! It is our holiday: and only our holiday! All are invited to the table, but few come… Selah! Matthew 22:11-14 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless. “Then the king told the attendants,…..
I REFUSE TO BE UGLY… I CHOOSE THIS AS ONE OF MY THEMES IN LIFE and strive to impress this theme on my entire household… I refuse to be ugly! You should too! Ugliness is not just in physical appearance – presenting a hateful frown. It is choosing to be that ungodly, fully selfish person – or having an “I’m better than you!” attitude… It is ugly to be unpleasant! It is ugly to be disgusting to God and man!…..
FOOTBALL SEASON IS SOON UPON US and I don’t like football! But hey! I’m a free moral agent and I don’t have to! Just ask some of the players if they like to knit, wear makeup, write books, play the violin, camp or have a Ladies’ Day Out… some might, some might not. We all are different; thank God! He loves variety and so should we! Our Creator is the Great Artist! Just look at the different colours of people;…..
I ALWAYS LOVE THIS TITLE! A PUPPY TALE… I have another, totally different puppy tale story in my first volume of “Joy Stories.” You should read it, it’s really good! I would never write anything that I didn’t believe in. Amen! Christians are no hypocrites: we know our need for Jesus as our Lord and Savior; we know we needed to repent and strive to sin no more. We know we are blessed by being washed in the blood of…..
WEDDINGS AFTER WEDDINGS AFTER WEDDINGS AFTER WEDDINGS END IN —- failure. In this end of the age we are living in, even the Christians are choosing failure, are choosing to quit, are choosing to give up and give in: even Christians are choosing themselves over their spouse! Here, Beloved, is one very reason for this disgusting rate of divorce… HONEST MEN AND WOMEN would never, ever say: “There’s nothing I would do differently in my life, had I to do…..
NOT ALL THAT LONG AGO GOD GAVE ME this word: “Just keep on being beautiful!” I am a pretty woman. I am a beautiful woman – inside and outside. God made me! I remember well the occasion He gave me this treasured encouragement. We all need that. There was a situation with a neighbor, two actually. The one woman’s house is directly behind me and they have a dog that would come rushing into my yard and attack my two…..
JESUS IS YOUR TROUBLEBREAKER: an ever present help in your time of need! FOR A WHILE, I LET AN ACQUAINTANCE of mine say to me frequently: “Hi, Trouble!” Then I got to thinking (a very good thing, but only as I think and meditate with the mind of Christ) that I do not cause trouble. I imitate Christ. As the Apostle Paul tells me to imitate him, just as he also imitates Christ, I want to and strive to…..
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS GOD’S PEOPLE make begin with a good idea, a sincere heart and the plan to meet their goal. Today is almost the last day of January and as January is pretty much gone, so too are many of the New Year’s resolutions a thing of the past of many who seemingly were so very determined to fulfill them. Selah All people (including sinners) know they have ‘missed it’ whether it be a New Year’s resolution of taking…..
