MY DREAM!

Last night I dreamed a dream,
some might call it a nightmare,
and they would scream.
I was in a large lonely building,
people everywhere,
there was no Bible reading,
there was no prayer;
I asked who  do you worship?
They answered,
the world is our master.
I answered,
I do not agree,
surely don't agree there.
Jesus,is my Master,
I see His loving arms,
and I see Him everywhere!

MID SEPTEMBER

Today is cloudy,
with a few sightings of sun,
there is a chill in the air,
the season of Fall has begun.
Thanksgiving is,
 just around the corner,
my favorite season is here again,
soon the leaves will change,
some red,orange, yellow and gold,
God has colored them,
so much beauty for us to behold.
When the world began,
everything was of perfect color,
then Satan beguiled man,
the blackness of sin entered in,
black with all it's sin;
God had a plan,
When the appointed time came,
He would send His only SON
to redeem those lost in sin,
placing them on a narrow road,
leading to a heavenly city,
and with it's streets of pure gold.

Just Reflecting!

                   

I awakened this morning at Seven AM

After a good night of rest;

I paused a moment to reflect,

the beauty of creation,

and the awesome power of the great I AM!

I got outside for a drive,

seeing everything so green,

everything so much alive,

and knowing that with God the Father,

God the SON and God the Holy Spirit;

I am safe and secure from all alarms!

Favorite Bible Chapters!

Today I am sharing one of my favorite chapters in the King James Version; I trust you enjoy it as I do!

Philippians 4 

4 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

TRUTH

Quote: God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please — you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bible teaching: John 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

Truth Quote:The trouble about man is twofold. He cannot learn truths which are too complicated; he forgets truths which are too simple. ~Rebecca West

Truth Quote:Truth is light of foot like a fawn, not heavy like lead. It is young with the spirit of youth, but we bend it with weight in its still young years. ~Muriel Strode (1875–1964), "A Soul's Faring: VII," A Soul's Faring, 1921

Seek truth and you will find a path. ~Frank Slaughter

           Psalm 25:5

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
