STAY CLOSE TO THE FLAME – SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

In some places of the country a late night fire is warm to the soul when the night has cooled down.  People are drawn to the fire…….people sit around fire pits to chat and enjoy fellowship with one another.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     WE ARE DRAWN TO THE LIGHT. Oh that our hearts would be a flame held fast … More STAY CLOSE TO THE FLAME – SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

None of us go through this life without tough times, wonderful times and small insignificant times.  Our times are in GOD’S hands.  And how many times do we ask HIM:  is this really part of your plan LORD? WE ALL MUST DRINK FROM THE CUP SOONER OR LATER. Yes, even this, even now, wherever we … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

CALLED AND INVITED

Our Savior pursues us first.  Did you know?  HE seeks those of HIS elect….. MARK 13: 27  “AND HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS AND GATHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO THE END OF THE HEAVENS.” HIS prevenient grace comes to us before we even realize, even before … More CALLED AND INVITED

OH THAT JESUS IS THE PERFECT GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS!  You can’t buy HIM like we try to buy a perfect gift for someone.  No, HE IS THE GIFT!  You cannot create Christmas…….because Christmas has already come in JESUS, born of a virgin and laid in a Manger long ago. And when you realize you haven’t … More GLAD TIDINGS!

TIE A RED RIBBON

Christmas is coming soon!  In this season of light the vibrant color of red seems to be everywhere.  The Bible uses the word scarlet……a brilliant red color.  I love the color red and even painted one of my kitchen bay windows red in a previous house.  Long ago I discovered to save some money on … More TIE A RED RIBBON

RAVISHED and IN AWE!

So think for a moment……..what in this entire big world that spins in the universe causes you to pause…..in awe and wonder? Each December I attempt to take a fresh look at the Christmas Story written in the Gospels to see if GOD shows me a new perspective.  I desire to keep looking at HIS … More RAVISHED and IN AWE!
