Morning Devotional...


Behold, I come quickly...Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:12, 20


Isn't that good news! He's coming quickly! He promised it three times (vv. 7, 12, 20) in the last chapter of the Bible, and the Lord always keeps His appointments and promises.

He never forgets, and is never late.

Therefore, dear believer, today, no matter what your
circumstances, there is every reason to look up and be encouraged because we have this blessed hope: He is coming soon!

Thank you Pat for that wonderful song.    It will surely be wonderful when Jesus comes for His own.   And we are His own.  The Bible says His sheep know His voice.    

I trust we are all ready for His return.

God Bless

Love Ruthie

Hello all!!


I'm on my way to bed.  Just wanted to check in and say hi!!  I had a Mary Kay class tonight -- my best ever.  I am, as soni would say, jazzed.  Had a really good time too!
Hope everyone has a wonderful, God-filled Wednesday!!!!

10. a.m.
Good Morning Dear Ones.

What a lovely morning we have here in England.  The sun is shining, it's warmer and it's my son's birthday so I do thank-God for this double whammie!

Thank-you Pat, Liz and Ruthie for your comments re my posts made after I went to bed last night.  I do pop back to catch up with you all.  

Soni. Heed these little warnings, take care dear little sis. You are overdoing it again.  You have such a lot on your plate.

Sue. Thinking of you at this time.

Pat, thank-you for that lovely short devotional.  I am reminded of my mother when she was dying saying "Is it nearly morning?"

It is nearly morning....Morning will come.

"Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in  the morning."Ps 30:5

"In no other religion and no other literature is 'joy' so conspicuous as in Christianity and in the Bible....and Christianity stands firm so long as men who have it are invested with joy."  Clow's Concordance.

Be filled with joy this day.

Jenny

Good Morning It is a little cooler but fresh.

Pat thanks for your devotional and hymn,

Ria Good morning. I like how you always mention the time.

Sue:       Memories:
       It was 7 years ago yesterday that your husband suddenly left us.  Although it was a shock to so many of those who loved him, he is now free of pain.


Have a wonderful day
Ruth

Good Morning Everyone...

It's a great day here in Guelph!  What a lovely sunrise but alas, I wasn't dressed or I would have tried to drive to somewhere where there were no houses!  

I have an Avon order to finish packing today.  I'm way behind in many things since I was in London all day yesterday.  My mouth is a little less sore today and that's great!


Sue, my thoughts are with you at this time.  Yes, not until a person experiences the loss of a husband or wife do they fully realize the emptiness that is suddenly forced upon them.  It's so different from losing another.  I was speaking to a lady on Sunday who lost her husband 37 years ago and she was telling me that it seems like only 37 days!  She still experiences the same feelings and it is at times like that that it's so wonderful to put ourselves into the loving hands of the Saviour for comfort.  


Hi Jenny!   Is it Chris's birthday?  If so, I must say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!
Thanks for the verse that is one of my favourites, Jenny.  My father used to quote that so often as I was growing up.

Quote"Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in  the morning."Ps 30:5

Ria, I don't recognize the little poem you put in this morning.  Is it a hymn?  It sure has words that would be meaningful to all of us.


I do pray that your father is doing better now, Ria,  and no more falling.

Nice to see you in here so early too, Ruth.

Sarah, have a good day at school...

Ruthie and Karmat, don't work too hard and we'll look forward to seeing you later on in here.

Now, I'm off to pack my Avon...

hello,
It's morning now, and i'm about to leave for school. got a very good nights sleep because i was so tired i didn't move or wake up until the alarm clock went off. well ineed to probably get going. TTYL
Sarah

I only have enough time to say "Good Morning!"  Please pray for me to have a great and productive day today in painting class.  Thanks!

Larry ~ I didn't think you would mind for me to point out the misspelled word on your church's website.  I know I misspell (is 'misspell' spelled right?) but I do notice when a word is misspelled or the wrong usage is used such as 'hear' instead of 'here', What really bugs me is when 'Bible' is not capitalized.  The technology of electronics is mind-boggling.  I retired from electronics in 1993 and the progress since is outstanding.  Uh, I don't even know what MP3 is.  My mind says it is compressed data/audio and more can be put on a CD than normal.  MP3 uses CD's, right?  Or am I totally off the wall?  I am still playing with Avant.  May be asking you questions about it from time to time.  Thanks bunches, Larry!

Janet ~ Hahaha!  DVD vs. TiVo!  Yes, I have TiVo...well, actually it is Ultimate TV.  I record things daily and sometimes it is hard to keep up.  But I can fast forward...love all these makeover room/houses/yards shows.  But sometimes I know I have seen them but can't remember the outcome so I fast forward to see the done thing!  DVD?  I am not a movie person.  Now Ivalou would watch a movie over anything else but not me.  If I want to take a nap, just turn on a movie...haha!  (I have only rented a couple of movies but I used to get them from the library)

Jenny ~ That would be scary, someone knocking on your door at that time, regardless of who it is.  Jerry's DIL is Muslim but she thinks her God is the same as my God.  I don't know.  I don't know enough about Muslim to say.  I know she says she doesn't believe in the old Muslim way.  

Liz ~ What better way to get rejuvenated for the coming work week than to spend time in God's house?  I can't believe that any church would change their services from Sunday to during the week.  Maybe 'also' but not 'instead'.

It is bright and sunny here.  I have to go to the bank this morning.  Wish I had somewhere else to go since it would be a great day for driving.  But, I will probably come back home as soon as I do my banking and maybe stop at the Dollar General!  

Inky and Ali are tearing up Jack!!!!  Mom always said that..."Look!  Now quit tearing up Jack!"  Never knew who Jack was!!

Dear Etta Sue,

Please say Hello to Jerry's DIL for me.  I am glad she realises that the old way is wrong. She is open to the Truth in Jesus.

There are many good things in the Koran and much that fits in with our scriptures but Jesus is not there! It is wide open to interpretation.

Moslems believe in One God, but not as Father, because they do not have the Son, Jesus.Even the demons believe in God and they quake(James2:19)  "He who does not have the Son does not have the Father." said Jesus.

"and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him." Luke 10:22

We are very priviliged as Christians to know the Truth in the Son ( see David Winter's Book Truth in the Son.).

I have a good recommendation for anyone who might be interested re different faiths and that is :

"What About Other Faiths."  By Martin Goldsmith.
this is simple to understand.  Very readable and informative.

Anyone who has kept up with me will know I have some dear Moslem friends.  I do want this known so that you realise I am not their enemy.  My wish is that they may come to the Truth in Jesus.  Many are doing so.  He is able.

G'mornin' to all!  I said I was going to get back here yesterday, but it didn't happen.  Hope I can get caught up on things today.  Been busy since returning Monday evening.  But busy is good.  Had a very, very good trip down to Davis, CA to preach last Sunday.  Oh what wonderful people in a wonderful church!  You oughta hear them sing!  And I've never seen such attentive people listening to a message!  It's inspiring!  It's a church of over 550 people, and all of them come both morning and evening!  It's called Grace Valley Christian Center, and many of the congregation are students at University of California at Davis.  Actually, several members are professors there as well.  Hope to have some pictures for you a little later.

Good Morning:

Al how wonderful for you to have such an attentive group coming to both services. That  must have really had you "jazzed". I am still trying to get you to visit my church one of these days soon. Both the morning and the evening services. I think you would really enjoy what the youth are doing at my church. I just wish that everyone here could have the opportunity to see  how these young people are serving God.  It is wonderful.

Etta Sue Do you also have Dollar Tree in your neck of the woods.? Tomorrow after my chiropractor appointment I am goin to stop there to get a couple of things. I want to see if they have received any new dog toys.

I will be back in a little while.

Just a brief note to expand on the message of yesterday.  We all have problems, often in the same area , often in other areas.  Nevertheless, we become overwhelmed with the burdens.  This verse came in my mail this morning.  Thank you Lord.


Isn't it good to know He cares and takes care of us?  

THank you for the devotion. It is great to Know God will come soon!!

Good morning everyone! How are you all doing?
I am doing quit well. can't wait to hear from you all.

Zachary, yes worship is fun.  As I get older the more I look forward to being in our assembly to sing and pray and to hear God's word.  It is the highlight of my week.  I hope you will always enjoy worshiping God.

Janet and Ria, I used a walker when I first came home from the hospital.  It was a great help and without it I wouldn't have been mobile.  I am thankful now that I am walking every day in our Mall and when weather permits I walk for a mile in our neighborhood.  No walker, but I do use my cane.

Ruth Ann, it always good to see you here.  Are you still going to Richmond?

Sue and Ruth, It is good to find comfort after those seven years.  Time has a way of healing the hurt and pain in bereavement.  When I was a child I cut my hand with an ax while splitting wood.  I think it was the first time I had ever been to a doctor.  It was terrible.  But today there is little left of the scar after all these years.

Hello Dear One.

God Bless. Lovely to see you again..My inspiration!

Thank you for your posts.  They do encourage me.

Just off to make myself a cup of tea and a sandwich, you know us English like our tea and cakes!

Blessings,

I am ready to go to work, been sewing some more on my quilt top. It is going very slow. After I get all these strips sewn togethers I have to cut the swuares then the squares are cut in triangles and sewn back together in a pattern. etc. etc.

The sun is out today again expected to be out for a few more days. We are having a lite winter this year. Last year I remember reading that there was 11 inches of rain in one  month.

For the dog lovers here I got this link off SN from Francy Lou. I warn you it is very sad.

((((hug))))

Today is Wednesday and my bussiest day of the week.  I will try to get on here more then once today.
I hope you all have a great day.

Something for Zachery!

Hi Papa John! I wrote a check out to you the other day on accident.  It was suppost to be for Papa Murphy's. hehehee...  I also look forward to church as do my kids.

Good devotion Pat. Hey Pat I was wondering what you swam when you were a swimmer and what your times were.

Hi everyone.  Welcome cbntmkr.  I look forward to your postings.  

Happy Birthday, Chris.

Just home from coaching the computer class at the SeniorNet Learning Center.  This was the second of three weeks so will finish it next Wednesday.  

I got up early and went walking before coffee this morning as knew my morning would be short.  Had to make a stop at the library and on the way home I stopped to get my car tags and pay the property taxes on both cars.  I will have to pay a $5 penalty on the car my daughter drives as we are not going to get it fixed in time before the tag expires.  At least I won't have a penalty to pay on the taxes portion.  

This evening Pat and I will go to the church early so she can do the children's packets for the Sunday service and I have a meeting before choir practice with the fellow who is going to make the video to use on our church website.  

Etta Sue, MP3 files are compressed audio, in the same category as the WMA files that play on the Windows Media Player.  You can convert WAV files into MP3 files with no noticeable loss of sound quality.

Pat, glad to hear that your mouth isn't as sore today.  

I have enjoyed all of the postings today.  As I have some things I need to get done before this evening I will sign-off for now.

What a wonderful, warm sunny day we have had here today!

The Holy Spirit: Buried Under the Snow

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  
--Matthew 13:58

How many blessed truths have gotten snowed under. People believe
them, but they are just not being taught, that is all. I think of
our experience this morning. Here was a man and his wife, a very
fine intelligent couple from another city. They named the church to
which they belonged, and I instantly said, "That is a fine church!"
"Oh, yes," they said, "but they don't teach what we came over here
for." They came over because they were ill and wanted to be
scripturally anointed for healing. So I got together two
missionaries, two preachers, and an elder, and we anointed them and
prayed for them. If you were to go to that church where they attend
and say to the preacher, "Do you believe that the Lord answers
prayer and heals the sick?" he would reply, "Sure, I do!" He
believes it, but he doesn't teach it, and what you don't believe
strongly enough to teach doesn't do you any good.

It is the same with the fullness of the Holy Ghost. Evangelical
Christianity believes it, but nobody experiences it. It lies under
the snow, forgotten. I am praying that God may be able to melt away
the ice from this blessed truth, and let it spring up again alive,
that the Church and the people who hear may get some good out of it
and not merely say "I believe" while it is buried under the snow of
inactivity and nonattention.  How to Be Filled With the Spirit,
18-19.

"Lord, don't let me be guilty of keeping the truth of the Holy
Spirit's ministry 'buried under the snow.' Help me to both teach
and live the active presence and controlling power of the Holy
Spirit today. Amen."

Happy valentines day.
