Jesus, God’s Gift to Us!
December 10, 2023Candy Cane-Symbol of the Good Shepherd
December 7, 2023
In Indiana, a candy maker wanted to make a candy that could be a reminder of Jesus Christ, so he made the Christmas candy cane.
He started off with a stick of pure white hard candy. The white color symbolized the virgin birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and the hard candy symbolized the solid rock which was the foundation of the church, and firmness of the promises of God.
The candy maker made the candy in the form of a J, which represented the name of Jesus and the staff of the Good Shepherds.
He then stained it with three stripes which showed the scourging Jesus received, and symbolized the blood shed by Christ on the cross.
When you break the cane, it reminds us that Jesus’ body was broken for us.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
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.
JESUS Is The Reason For The Season!
December 4, 2023
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In all the hustle and bustle of this busy season, sometimes the person we forget is Jesus.
We think about family and friends. Shopping, presents, parties and feasts. The most important person gets pushed to the background.
It is important to keep Christ in Christmas. Do not neglect Bible reading and prayer. We can get so caught up in festivities that our enemy can slip in and take away our joy and fellowship with Jesus.
November Closes!
November 30, 2023
Whatever happened in November is now passed. Tomorrow, December 1st is the beginning of the busiest month of the year for some of us.
Mothers preparing gifts for their children for Christmas, grandmothers baking, teachers trying to keep children in order as the holidays approach, businesses having parties and all the other activities that happen in December.
STOP! As you prepare to do all the things to get ready, the most important thing is to keep Christ in Christmas.
Take time every busy day to get alone with God and trust Him with all the plans you are making.
In those plans make room for Jesus. Talk about him to your children. Honor Him by baking a birthday cake for Jesus. Be a testimony to your coworkers at work.
Make December all about Jesus!
John 5:23. That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him.
What Path Are You Taking?
November 27, 2023
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
These are 2 verses in the Bible that if you follow them, God will direct you in the path He has chosen for you.
Sometimes we do not understand where He is leading us but we can trust Him. He will lead us to a life of blessing. Maybe not an easy path but a path of obedience and blessing.
A Bible Verse For You!
November 26, 2023
When I see this verse, I want to burst into the hymn, “How Great Thou Art”.
Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Black Friday! Looking For A Bargain?
November 24, 2023
For many years in the USA the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. People are out looking for a bargain. A lot of shopping for Christmas presents.
We are tempted to overlook the true meaning of Christmas and turn it into a day to get and give gifts.
So today, shop if you must but it is a good thing to put Jesus first in your quest for that bargain.
Remember the greatest gift you can give is telling someone about Jesus. That costs absolutely nothing and it is the most lasting gift anyone could receive.
As every man hath received the gift, even sominister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

November 22, 2023
The main thing we should be thankful for is Jesus who came to earth to die on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day. He took away all our sin if we trust in Him as Lord and Savior.
Sing for joy and kneel before Him with gratitude in our heart!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

We do not have to live in defeat! God gives us victory through Jesus.
If you are feeling defeated over a sin in your life, depression or loss, turn to Jesus who is wanting to give you victory.
