What we think about controls how we live and react to every situation in our lives.
God tells us in His Word what we should think about.
If we think about things that make us not trust God, we become worried and fearful.
This one verse tells us how to overcome anxiety. Let us decide today to think on good things and ask God to help us to think about the things in this verse that will bring peace and joy into our lives.
The only way to have eternal life is through Jesus. If you do not know for sure you will spend eternity with Him, ask Jesus to forgive your sins, come into your heart and accept Jesus as your Savior.
It is your choice. Death or Life.
It wasn’t until about the nineteenth century that we find Christianity absorbing the bright, cheery symbolism of the Christmas tree. The Christians had long held the fir as a symbol of the Tree of Life.
Early Christians knew their symbolism well, as they added candles and apples to their Christmas firs. These candles represented the light of Christ. The apples symbolized knowledge which spawned man’s original sin according to Christian belief.
Here we see the light of Christ absolving the “fall of man” within the immortal symbol of the Christmas tree.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Luke 24:34a Saying, The Lord is risen indeed,

The wreath has significant meaning for the season. It’s circular shape represents eternity, for it has no beginning and no end. For a Christian, it represents an unending circle of life. The evergreen, most frequently used in making wreathes, symbolizes growth and everlasting life.

Carolyn Curtis, SOS Events cofounder, was asked a question by a funeral director. The conversation went like this:
Directory: “People have told me when at the funeral home that they will never die. What did they mean? I do not understand that. That is better than a lottery ticket.”
Carolyn: “They are probably born again Christians. What they mean is their bodies die but their spirit does not. We all never die spiritually, we will live forever but where we spend eternity depends on what we do with the Lord Jesus now.”
Carolyn then gave him a gospel tract and will be praying for his salvation.
Matthew 25:46 – And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
SOS Events summer intern teens working hard pulling weeds on the ministry’s property (top). Then taking a well deserved rest (with a little fun added). Electricity was out yesterday and it was very hot in Florida but these girls worked until the job was finished. They are learning many things working for SOS Events this summer. They are a blessing.
God even rested after He created the world. He gave us an example. Work and rest. Both important for a happy productive life.
