Thanksgiving

 

    On this day we all have something special plan, going to family members, seeing friends, having a big meal with others or just staying home and enjoying the quietness of are own family. (or just being alone). 

 

     Let us not forget all Jesus has done for us today. All his suffering on the cross and the day before. The time he spent in death for us. Then the best is he rose up from death to be in heaven so we to can be there with God and Jesus. 

 

    Let us not forget to thank God for the food, shelter, heat, work, all the things we have. For the love one's around us. It is all God that gives us or don't. 

 

I want you all to know I believe that God is in control of everything around me. I believe God is the only God, and He give or don't give me every thing I have. That is what I am thankful for.  I am his son through Jesus Christ. 

 

I hope you all are thankful like me and let God know.

 

God Bless

How do you fellowship in church

 

     fellowship- a mutual sharing, as of experience, activity, interest.

 

 

          This word means a lot to me and how the church has change is the last years. We go to church to hear about what everyone is doing or did. Church is a place for us to learn about God and His son Jesus Christ.  I remember in years past as a child and teenager, you when to church to listen and when you walk in you sat down and held your shut.  You didn't go talking to someone else even if they were beside you.  You sat there and thought of God.  Seem like today you go to see what people are going to be doing or did. How about the so call fellowship get together at the church.  You hear the prayer for the dinner or opening of the get together and that the last you hear about God.

 

 

     If would read Philemon2:1, 1John 1:3-7.   you would see how we are suppose to fellowship.  Talking about God, what Jesus has done for us this last week. Ask question to learn on how to trust in Jesus more.  What we read in the Bible, how it helps us out.

 

Maybe we need to return to the fellowship of years past and maybe this time we are living in would be getting better. Just something to be thinking about and praying about.

 

     Don't forget about the cost that Jesus gave you this Thanks Giving!

 

God Bless

How do we act when someone does us wrong

 

In Genesis 37 -48

 

    Here is Joseph, from early age being sold as a slave by his brothers, going through all his teen life and more with out his father or mother, getting throw in prison, plus more. How does he handle him self. We read these chapter and are surprise at his action. He does not blame God for it, he does not yell and scream at his brothers, he blames no one.  He trust in God to look out for him. In fact he grows strong in the faith of God. At the time we think he can get it and worst he surprise us and God make than better for him.

 

So I am asking you today. How do you control your anger. When you get blame for something, do you listen and learn from it even if it is not your fault, or do you shout and scream and curse blue in the face.  Do you say how unfair life is? Do you start shooting off at the mouth and blame some else even if you don't know who did what?  Every day we hear people talking about us, good or bad. How do you take it.  Are you like Joseph and goes to God for protection, or do you let it boil; your blood until everyone hear you shooting off?  I know I wish I was more like Joseph. That way other could see  my Faith in God at work. I hate to hear other use my God's name in vain. How does that look if I did that, wouldn't be a true walk with Jesus if I did that. Would make people think I like to talk the talk but can't walk the path on a Christian. Sure we are going to slip, but the different is a pig like to be dirty all the time. A lamb like to be clean, so when you slip do you stay in the mud of sin or do you get up and ask Jesus for help and forgiveness. I want to follow Joseph way of life, following God's way. Because Jesus tell us to love are neighbor and other that do us wrong. For Jesus with take care of us and when the time is right, God will get even for us on all those who done us wrong. Trust me, it will be a lot harder on them then anything we could do. So in closing read about Joseph and try to follow the path that he took, we will come out on top because we are following God.

 

Thank you for your time.

God bless you all.

I had some one at work ask me if I thought praying really works. I look at him in a surprise look, and told him yes I do. I then went on to tell him that all prayers will be answer but not at are time but God's time. But now as I think about him and how I answer him in what little time I had as we were working, there more to praying then just thinking it and hoping. 

You must be in tune with Jesus before you ask. We have to get on are knees and ask forgiveness of are sins and mean it, you have to clean your heart, because your prayer comes from the heart, not from your head. a clean heart is the only way God will listen.

I would like some feed back on this, if you agree or don't.

God Bless you all
