Mary and Elizabeth

December 18, 2023

Can you imagine Elizabeth’s joy to share with her friends and family that, after all this time, in her old age, she was finally going to be a mother? And how exciting that her son was the one God had chosen to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah!

Elizabeth had a visitor. Mary, her cousin came to see her, probably to share the news that she was expecting a baby, who was to be the Savior.

When Elizabeth saw Mary, her baby leapt in her womb. Elizabeth what is overjoyed that the mother of the Savior came to visit her.

Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

Luke 1:41-42 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Praise the Lord for Everything!

December 17, 2023

One week until Christmas Day! Are we so busy that we forget the most important thing we need to do this season and everyday?

That is to Praise the Lord in everything. If we are not doing that, we have missed what Christmas is all about.

God sent His Son, the LORD JESUS to be born. Not as King but as a lowly baby, to grow up and die on the cross for payment for our sin. That alone is worthy of all our praise. 

Then our daily blessings. Too many to even count. So stop today and right now give Him the praise He deserves. Take time from your business to honor the One who give you everything.

Symbol of Christmas! The Poinsettia

December 5, 2023

One of the beautiful symbols of Christmas is the pointsettia plant that we like to decorate with for the holiday. In Florida and other warm climates the plants grow and bloom in December. 

The shape reminds us of the star that led the wise men to Bethlehem to worship Jesus. 

The red color the precious blood of Jesus, shed for us, the only we can have our sins forgiven. White plants, a symbol of Jesus’ purity. 

The poinsettia, a wonderful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Have A Blessed Sunday!

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
Psalm 111:1, KJV

Weather!

November 29, 2023

It’s cold in Florida today. Woke up to 40 degrees. You may be in a different climate. Cold or hot, the Bible says God is in charge of the seasons.

At least today we Floridians can feel like Christmas is coming.

Have a blessed day no matter what the weather were you are.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22

Blessings To Us When We Are Thankful!

November 15, 2023

Did you know that giving thanks gives good health?

“Studies on gratitude have shown measurable effects on everything from neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), social bonding hormones (oxytocin), cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine), to inflammatory and immune systems stress hormones (cortisol), cardiac and EEG rhythms, blood pressure, and blood sugar, according to Doraiswamy. Other medical studies have indicated a thankful attitude reduces stress and boosts immunity.” Dr. P. Doraiswamy

Are you thankful for everything? In times of great distress in your life can you give thanks?

Jesus can bring comfort and joy!

A Personal Note!

Just a personal note from Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry.

November is a special month when we set aside a day of Thanksgiving. In truth every day should be a day we thank the Lord.

I am especially thankful for my salvation, my family and a special blessing of successful eye surgery.

It is amazing that God has given wisdom to surgeons who can restore sight to someone whose vision is impaired by cataracts. One eye done and another in a little over a week.

Praise the Lord!

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psalms 103:2
