Is It a Blue Christmas?

 Just to Let everyone know that I usually post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  I will try to keep posting during Christmas as well on those days.

 

Is It a Blue Christmas?

For those people who are fortunate to not grieve right now please bear with us.  My mother passed away last May.  I am living now in her house with my wife.  If my wife was not with me, I would find this very difficult.  Being in this house is so emotional and everything reminds me of what it used to be when I was with my parents. 

Sunday morning the pastor preached on one of the attributes of the son that was to be born to Mary and Joseph about 700 years after the prophecy in the book of Isaiah 9:6. This one name that Jesus bears is “Wonderful Counsellor” which means that he is too wonderful for words.

It was explained that a counsellor is only effective when people come to him for counselling.  Have you gone to a counsellor?  Has it helped you?  God is a wonderful counsellor, and I was encouraged to approach him with my concerns and worries.  He wants to help, and it shows in his very name.  He listens and he is more than a counsellor through this Christmas.  He is also my High Priest, and he wants to be close to me more than I would ever want him to be.  He loves you in this world so busy and tired.  He wants to mend our lives but most of all he wants to make each one of us one “whole” being.  He does not want us broken and lost anymore.  He wants to give us direction in life.  If the world as a source of knowledge and wisdom is our counsellor, we will live a lie. These things must come from the right source and Jesus is the One.  Prophesied so long ago he has never failed me yet.  He is still the Number One I go to for comfort and strength. He is acquainted with grieve and he can carry me through it.

You can go to him now with any concerns you may have.  He is listening to you carefully and he will act on your behalf.  I pray that each one of you will have a Christmas full of healing and wholeness.  Sometimes healing has to hurt.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
