ALL THINGS NEW
        On January first, the year will be new.  Maybe it is time to wake up 
and see life from a different point of view.  Is it time to enlarge your vision and see what God has for you?  He is a big God and has big and new things for you to do.
Our days are numbered, for some many and for others just a few.  So don't skip spending time with God whatever you do.  For He always wants the best for you.

                 This new year let Jesus go before you and be with you, He will not fail you.
So, go find Jesus, pursue, pursue, pursue.  When you find Him, stick to Him like glue.
Trust in the Lord and this year let your life's song be renewed.  Then as the year changes, so will you.  If 2018 was a dark, gray hue, let 2019 become a refreshing and glorious shade of sky blue.  Praise God, there is hope, and a Happy New Year to You! 
                  

                              CHRISTmas

Is Christmas about Reindeer pulling a sleigh around that contains a fictional man with a bearded face?

Or is Christmas about a man lifted up on a cross being pulled there by his love  and grace?

A fictional man giving presents to all.

Or the Son of God giving the gift of salvation to those who receive His call?

One has to agree that Santa is a lot of fun.

But Christmas is really about Jesus and all He has done.

Santa yells for his reindeer to go up, up and away.

Jesus tells us to give of ourselves until he comes back someday.

To the children of God love, joy, and peace will be among the many gifts they will find.

But with Santa’s gifts, you will find they won’t pass the test of time.

Christmas is truly about Christ who gave Himself to be put on the cross.

It was done as a gift to save the lost.

Christmas is a time for God to fill you with His love, joy and peace.

Then hopefully, those battles in you and around you can for several days cease.

So, this Christmas, please think about what Christ did for you.

Then allow Him to move into your heart with the gift of making you new.

Our fictional Santa is a nice thought no doubt.  

But isn’t Christ and His gift of sacrifice what Christmas is about?

So, as I say a bedtime prayer and turn out the light, I will also say

Merry CHRISTmas to all and have a blessed night.          Lionel Copyright 2018
