Faith As A Little Child

The faith of a child, a child is so trusting and innocent, this is the way  that God wants us to trust him and have faith in him.  He desires that  none would perish but that all would come  to him and except that he sent his only son to save us all from hell.  He is our father, we are his children, it is just that some of us don't know that are want except it.  Some say that there is no God, because if it is why does he allow all the sickness and hate and pain and suffering in the world.  Will, remember sin is in this world because Adam and Eve failed and gave what God had given them over to satan.  Therefore, satan is the god of this world and he controls the principalities and spiritual darkness of this world.  That is why God made a way out through his son Jesus.  If you except what he did at the cross and believe that he died for your sins, then you will become a new creation.  You will be born again, God will cleanse your soul and the curse that came into the world which you were born into will no longer be in effect.  I invite you to make that decision today, for you may not get a chance tomorrow.  God Bless and peace be with you.

Meditations

Today is Saturday August the 25th 2012, it is a day that I have never seen before and it is a day that I will never see again.  I thank the Lord that he created it and he blessed it when he did.  Well, what shall we talk about today, it is truly a blessing to be alive and that God is still on the throne and he has everyone and everything in his hands.  OK, then let's talk about meditations, how do you all feel about meditations? Well, I feel that it is a good thing as long as you are mediating on  the right things. It can keep you grounded and spiritually in tune  with God, when you concentrate on the positive and seek Godly instruction.   God said in his word that if you keep your mind stayed on him that he would keep you in perfect peace.  I believe that, to be true, that when you fill your mind with the knowledge of God; he will teach and show you more about him and in turn center you so that you will be at peace. Now, the opposite of that is meditating on negative things, if you do that you will not have any peace and you will find yourself thinking about doing an evil act, which if you don't get if off your mind, you will end up doing it.  "It is like the old saying "an idle mind is the devil's work shop".  That is why it is so important that you except the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour, so that you can renew your mind and allow God to give you the peace that he can only give.  The peace that surpasses all understanding, especially in  this day and age that we are living in.  Let me encourage you today, put God in the center so that you want be a sinner. Get it center, sinner, just a little humor there, they are homonyms I am sure most of you knew that.  You all have a blessed day and God bless you we'll talk some more tomorrow.

Questions

 

 

Do you know where you are going when you die? Is it heaven or hell?

 

 Are you sure of your salvation? Don't answer quickly now, I know that there are many people out

 

there that go to church every time they get a chance, and still or not sure whether or not they are

 

saved. It is not in your doing, it is in your believing and that my friends lies in who you believe and

 

what you believe, the who is God's son Jesus Christ and the what is that he lived 2000 years ago and

 

he died and then rose from the dead. Now if you truly truly believe this, then you are saved. Not just

 

know of it but BELIEVE IT. THINK ABOUT IT. God bless you all.

 

A Poem for today:

 

 

Give us this day our daily bread

Gives us this day our daily bread, this is what is in my head.  Do I hear this or is it a near miss? Do I dare embrace it or just let God trace it?  How dare I even think it, I know that it is a part of me given to me from the three.  The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, the ones that I love the most. What does it really mean?   Give us this day our daily bread; this is exactly what he said.  Does, it mean that I will eat toast today, maybe even a roast you say.  Or, Do I seek it in the word so I can move forward haven’t you heard?

Seeking

By Stephanie Duke

What is it that you are seeking? Seeking to be matched? Seeking to get unattached? What is it that you are seeking? Seeking for money or seeking for your honey? What is it that you are seeking? Could it be riches? What does it all teach us? What is it that you are seeking? Seeking for rest, are seeking to past the test? I’ve asked the questions; now let me teach you a lesson.  Jesus, is what you are seeking, you are drawn to him; that is why your heart is beeping.  He is your guild, he is your light, so don’t do as you might.  Take him in for he is your kin.  Jesus is your savior, so watch your behavior; Jesus is what you are seeking.

August Birthdays

It seems that everyone's birthday is in August, there are 5 people in my family whose birthday is this month.  Starting with my sweet granddaughter's which was August 9.  Today is her brother's birthday, August 16 and tomorrow is my second oldest son's and the day after that is his wife's birthday and their oldest son's birthday is August 26.  So August is this families birthday month.  I just love birthdays.  Don't you? Share with me a special memory about your birthday.  Here is one from me, it was my 11th birthday party I remember dancing at my party with a boy for the first time.  I had a major crush on him.(hehe).

Here is our Poem for today:

If I could fly

By Stephanie Duke

If I could fly, I would fly high and touch the door of heaven.  I would bring the light and show it in your sight, to break the bounds of the hell hounds.  I would see all kneeling, giving praise to God with feelings.  If I could fly, I would bring the warning of the storming.  That will soon come in the morning.  If I could fly, I would take the pain and tell all to praise his name, if I could fly.  God Bless everyone.



A Poem for Today.

Who will hold this Child?

By Stephanie Duke

Who will hold this child? A child that is lost in the night, a child that has lost his sight.  Who will hold this child? A child that is weeping; a child that some say looks creepy.  Who will hold this child? A child that is cold; a child that may not grow old, a child that is reaching, please, I beseech thee.  Who will hold this child? A child that is kneeling a child that has feelings.  Who will hold this child? A child that is raging, a child that feels caged in.  Who will hold this child? For this child, there seems to be no hope.  If we reach together we can make it better.  Who will hold this child?

Summer Fun

Hi everyone, It has been a few months since we last talked, I   had a very hot and busy summer with my 5 year old granddaughter.  We went on a trip to Arkansas to visit with family.  I tried to teach her how to swim, at first she was scared of  the water, but after awhile she manage to stop clinging to me like a little monkey.  I showed her how to float, she can do it a little bit, but now she thinks she can swim.  I told her not just yet,  you need some more lessons, be patient you will learn. Well, I did finially finish "Queen Nyla".  I just have not found a publisher for it yet.   I don't know whether I want to use Publishamerica again or not, even thou they don't charge to publish.  I will be taking my time and weighing my options.  I am praying that I make the right decision for this book.    Well, let me know how your summer has been going, and I will talk again tomorrow.  God bless you.
