The Wreath-Symbol of Eternal Life

December 6, 2023

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.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.
John 10:28-30

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.

Your Time Is The Best Gift!

December 2, 2023

What a wonderful verse to start with for the month of December! God does supply all our needs.

Some people have abundance of money and material things. Others have very little. The Christmas season is a time for giving. It is not the cost of the gifts, it is the gift given from the heart that counts.

A phone call, letter or an invitation for a meal can mean more than the most expensive present in the world. Your time with your friends and family is the most meaningful gift you can give.

God wants the same thing. You can give a large offering, go to church or do some charity work, but the most important thing you can give to God is time to read His word, pray and then tell someone else about His special gift, the Lord Jesus.

December 1st. Are You Waiting For Jesus?

December 1, 2023

25 days until Christmas. To some that is exciting. Children waiting, anxiously waiting. Will it ever come.

Moms and Dads are thinking, so soon and so much to do.

Older folks may not welcome the day so much. Maybe they are alone or away from loved ones.

Whatever your expectations about Christmas, it will come.

Looking back to the birth of. Jesus. He was expected for years. People looked forward to His coming. When He did enter the world it was not as a king as they expected, but as a little baby in a lowly manger.

He was born to die. He grew up, died on a cross and rose again. Then after appearing to many He ascended into Heaven.

He will return. This time as King. Are you looking and waiting? Just like Christmas past, Jesus is coming again!

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.

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

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.
