Thanks Tammy! We all miss her pit bull mix, Slade. She called him Houdini at times because he was so good at escaping from his pen. If there was a way, he figured it out! Pit Bulls often get a bad rep due to their owners. If you raise them to be mean, then they are and if you don't understand how strong and determined they can be, then they'll get loose and cause trouble every time. It is up to their human parents to keep them safe. Just like with any dpg, give them love, and they'll return it 10 fold! =========================================================== >-->From Heartwarmers: Your morning thoughts for the day: High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. -- Charles F. Kettering Anger always comes from frustrated expectations. -- Elliott Larson Those are two contradictory quotes. One says that if you what to achieve, you must have high expectations. The other says that if you don't want to be angry, it's best to not have expectations. In today's heartwarming story, Aunt Helen offers some sage advice and tells her loved ones to "expect nothing" in life. That way, you'll never be disappointed. So the question we ask you as we enter the New Year is simply this: What do you think is the best way to approach life? Expecting good things to happen? Or, not expecting anything at all? Oh! And Happy New Year! .---.

Amazing! More amazing is her life and attitude. Her parents moved to Tamaqua to a house on Railroad Street in 1918. The fourth of ten children, she spent her early years picking coal and huckleberries to help the family get through the Great Depression. She has so many warm and good memories of growing up in tough times. She shared one bed with two sisters. She saw many things including the Hindenberg blimp, just before it met its demise in New Jersey. Being on that street, she also witnessed hundreds of "Troop Trains" taking the boys off the WWII, often handing homemade treats to them through the open windows. During her young adult life, she and Uncle Pete traveled, sometimes with Aunt Josephine and Uncle Joey, visiting shrines and baseball parks around the country. Aunt Helen lost Uncle Pete to Cancer in September, 1965. I remember how brokenhearted everyone was about it. Uncle Pete was a great guy with a most generous heart and terrific funny bone. After Uncle Petsey died, she moved from their apartment back home to Gram Baddick's and her childhood home. Many people in town know her as one of the servers in her clean crisp white uniform and apron at the St. Jerome's First Holy Communion breakfast. Some of the ladies made and served the class breakfast while parents waited in the back of the gym which was decorated by none other than... Aunt Helen! Aunt Helen decorated everything and anything using just about everything and anything! I remember one centerpiece that was a styrofoam base sporting a Christmas yard scene. Strung atop was a miniature Santa Claus and sleigh. It was such a magical scene! Aunt Helen always had a ton of construction paper to use and make things. She would often sit and color with me either in a book or on a page where you would draw a picture adding sparkles if you wanted! Nobody else ever had sparkles at their house! Aunt Helen is also the only aunt who would make peanut butter and marshmallow on crackers! She also had Oreos. I asked my mom why she never made these and she explained, "I bake cookies. Why would ever you want to eat those store bought cookies?" Over the years our photos show her sitting on the floor with one or many of us kids, playing a game or quietly telling us a story, or coloring. Truly, it was more her presence that we enjoyed. Not so much what she did, but just being with her. That is the greatest lesson -- it is not about the stuff, it's about the love, attention and time that she gave us. When she turned 80, I asked her for some sage life advice. She told me, "Jeannie Marie, expect nothing! Take the word 'expect' out of your vocabulary. Then, everything nice in life will be a wonderful surprise and your will never be disappointed!" At 97, she still lives by her advice. May she live as she hopes for 100 years as we say in Polish -- "STO LAT!" -- Jeannie Paslawsky __________________________________________________ Jeannie was born and raised in the anthracite region in Tamaqua, PA, and now resides in Willow Grove.

Baker After many years of trying to brighten the season for needy children, my husband and I happened upon an Angel Tree for nursing home residents -- the often forgotten fragile, lonely ones in our society. Some have outlived their children, others have children not willing to travel across the country, while some have no family or friends whatsoever. They are left to languish alone on our holiest holiday. These are ones we owe so much -- they are survivors of wars that kept our country free. Many suffered during the Great Depression simply trying to put food on the table for their families. They are all strong folks that could teach us much and deserve our absolute respect! Most of them did not have easy lives and in their final years. Many are the "forgotten ones." In my eyes, nothing could be more shameful! My husband, Jerry, instantly grabbed a card for a gentleman from that very special Angel Tree, while I selected the name of an older lady. Then we launched into an all-out shopping spree. The only information we had was first names, ages, and two wish lists. Never have I given such thought to each and every purchase. Making Christmas special for these two older kids became an obsession for both of us on a cold winter's afternoon. The gentleman had simply asked for music CDs. There was no mention of what type of music or any particular singer he enjoyed. We were both perplexed and then it hit us like a rock! Doing a little math we figured out what years he'd have been a teenager and took it from there. We purchased several CD's of hits from that time, as well as hits on into his twenties and thirties. The dear lady had requested only a robe. After some thought, I knew it must be washable, warm and of durable fabric to withstand being washed at the nursing facility. I located a lovely, plush, terry cloth robe with a bit of pink "girly" embellishment down the front -- the tag even said it could be bleached. But, what woman wouldn't enjoy new house slippers to match her robe? I tracked those down as well! Jerry and I were so wound up at that stage of the game that we couldn't stop with simply the items that had been requested. "What's Christmas without a box of fine assorted chocolates?" Jerry asked. I giggled and agreed, but as we headed to the candy department I realized one of them could possibly be diabetic. We found wonderful sugar-free assortments of chocolates that could satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth. Still, it seemed something was lacking. "I wonder how long it's been since this little gal enjoyed a bottle of nice perfume!" I wondered. We sprayed and sniffed until we found a mild scent that seemed suitable, and so hoped she wouldn't be allergic. I also included hand and body lotion. In my heart I knew she'd once again feel spry and beautiful as she pampered herself with the delicious aroma. Then, Jerry piped up, "Boys are never too old for toys!" After studying every small-scale model car and truck in the store, he chose several that would have been popular when the older gentleman likely purchased his first "set of wheels," and possibly his first family auto as a young married man. They would be nice remembrances placed on his bedside table or dresser to remind him of "the good old days." I took great care in wrapping all items. The packages had to be beautiful. All the while I envisioned the sparkle in their aged eyes when opening each gift, and prayed our efforts would create a very blessed and Merry Christmas for two genuinely deserving people. No, that year they were not forgotten! In fact, they are never forgotten in our home. Each holiday season we discuss the joy that filled our hearts that year as we attempted to sprinkle the Christmas season with a bit of bliss for two aged, forgotten, souls. In remembrance of two nursing home residents who, every year, remind us of the reason for the season. -- Kathleene S.

He gave the king this message: “This is what the Lord says: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness. When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord."1 Today is the last day of 2020. This year has been filled with many unexpected circumstances, which have been difficult in many ways, but have also reminded us of important truths like the fact that we are not in control. God is the only one who holds the future. The bible says, “You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer."2 While we cannot control the circumstances that arise in life, nor how long we will live on this earth, there is something that we can control... how we live the life God has given us. Hezekiah was given a message from God that told him he was going to die, and the instructions God gave him were to set his affairs in order. The first thing that Hezekiah did when he heard this was to pray. He reminded God of how he had served him faithfully and had done what was pleasing to him. He then broke down and wept. He knew that God had the last word and left the outcome to God. In the following verses we see how God answers with mercy by giving him fifteen more years of life. Unlike Hezekiah, we don’t know the day or hour of our death. The point of today’s topic is not to make us think of how or when we will die, but rather how we will choose to live the days God gives us on this earth. God has given us family and friends who have taught us how to practice the fruits of the Spirit. He has allowed us to experience pain and suffering so that we could learn how to trust God and rest in His unfailing promises. He has given us opportunity after opportunity to show compassion and forgiveness when others have failed us. The sad thing is that many times we choose to live in bitterness and anger clinging on to the hurts of our past instead of embracing the tools God has given us to live in peace with others and experience the joy of the Lord. If we were to die today and stand before God, what would be the account of our life that we give him? Would we be able to say the words of Hezekiah when he said, “Remember, oh Lord, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly always doing what pleases you."3 As we get ready to welcome a new year tomorrow, I want to encourage you to take a moment to evaluate your life. Are you loving others well? Have you forgiven those who have hurt you? Have you asked for forgiveness where necessary? What affairs do we need to set in order? God has given us today, so let us make the most of it and choose actions that will please God. Suggested prayer: “Dear God, I pray that you would allow me to set my affairs in order today. Give me the courage to speak truth, ask for and give forgiveness, love generously, and show patience and compassion to others as you have shown me. Allow me to live with no regrets. That when you call me home, that I would be ready and be able to say the words of Hezekiah. I choose to be faithful to you and please you with the life you have given me. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus Christ’s name, amen." 2 Kings 20:1-2 (NLT). Job 14:5 (NLT). 2 Kings 20:3 (NLT). <:))))>< , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' >Follow Your Dream Jesus said, "According to your faith let it be to you."1 Walt Disney--certainly a creator and fulfiller of dreams--said, "Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret--curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable." Living in Southern California I still like going to Disneyland and appreciate it more today than ever, knowing that Disney went broke six times (I believe it was) and had a nervous breakdown before becoming successful. Walt succeeded because he was a man with a dream of what could be achieved and the determination to make it happen. As George Bernard Shaw said, "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" For the Christian, while some of us may not have the same gifts as Walt Disney or Martin Luther King, God has gifted and has a purpose for every one of His followers. Each of us needs to discover what that purpose is, turn it into a dream and, with God's help, work to fulfill it. In so doing we, too, will make an impact on at least one other life, and for many of us, an impact on many lives. And then, when we come to the end of life's journey, we will hear God's welcoming words, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."2 When our dream is a God-given one, we don't have to dream the impossible dream. For with God all things are possible. Not that fulfilling the dream will come easily. In all probability it will be a life challenging task. But think of the ancient Israelites to whom God gave the Promised Land. God didn't hand it to them on a silver platter. Only where they planted the soles of their feet did it become theirs--and they had to battle every inch of the way. However, had not God given it to them, it would have been an impossible dream--and even today it would be impossible for them to survive without God's protection. Let's each claim God's dream He has for each of us. Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please reveal to me my God-given life purpose. Help me to make it a dream that, with Your help, I will never stop pursuing until my life's work on earth is done and I stand before You on that grand and glorious day when I meet You face to face. May I so live and work that I will hear Your welcoming words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.' Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen." 1. Mathew 9:29 (NKJV). 2. Matthew 25:21 (NKJV). <:))))>< When copying or forwarding include the following: "Daily Encounter by Richard (Dick) Innes (c) 2016 ACTS International. =========================================================== >-->From Archives InspiredBuffalo: o o \__/,'`.,'`._, /,-. \ / <_, > - )/ / <_, \__,/ / ,' _/_(_/______/__ ( (_ ,,--'---^,\\ ___/ \ / ___,' /,---' \\ \_ `. ` / `. \ | \_ \ |/\/\/\| `. \ \ | /\ `.`. \( /\ \ `.`. | \ `.`._, `-\_, | /| `-' |/\( |(_\\_ | / \ ( /_/gnv\_\ >The Fairy's New Year Gift by Emilie Poulsson Two little boys were at play one day when a Fairy suddenly appeared before them and said, "I have been sent to give you New Year presents." She handed to each child a package, and in an instant was gone. Carl and Philip opened the packages and found in them two beautiful books, with pages as pure and white as the snow when it first falls. Many months passed and the Fairy came again to the boys. "I have brought you each another book?" said she, "and will take the first ones back to Father Time who sent them to you." "May I not keep mine a little longer?" asked Philip. "I have hardly thought about it lately. I'd like to paint something on the last leaf that lies open." "No," said the Fairy; "I must take it just as it is." "I wish that I could look through mine just once," said Carl; "I have only seen one page at a time, for when the leaf turns over it sticks fast, and I can never open the book at more than one place each day." "You shall look at your book," said the Fairy, "and Philip, at his." And she lit for them two little silver lamps, by the light of which they saw the pages as she turned them. The boys looked in wonder. Could it be that these were the same fair books she had given them a year ago? Where were the clean, white pages, as pure and beautiful as the snow when it first falls? Here was a page with ugly, black spots and scratches upon it; while the very next page showed a lovely little picture. Some pages were decorated with gold and silver and gorgeous colors, others with beautiful flowers, and still others with a rainbow of softest, most delicate brightness. Yet even on the most beautiful of the pages there were ugly blots and scratches. Carl and Philip looked up at the Fairy at last. "Who did this?" they asked. "Every page was white and fair as we opened to it; yet now there is not a single blank place in the whole book!" "Shall I explain some of the pictures to you?" said the Fairy, smiling at the two little boys. "See, Philip, the spray of roses blossomed on this page when you let the baby have your playthings; and this pretty bird, that looks as if it were singing with all its might, would never have been on this page if you had not tried to be kind and pleasant the other day, instead of quarreling." "But what makes this blot?" asked Philip. "That," said the Fairy sadly; "that came when you told an untruth one day, and this when you did not mind mamma. All these blots and scratches that look so ugly, both in your book and in Carl's, were made when you were naughty. Each pretty thing in your books came on its page when you were good." "Oh, if we could only have the books again!" said Carl and Philip. "That cannot be," said the Fairy. "See! they are dated for this year, and they must now go back into Father Time's bookcase, but I have brought you each a new one. Perhaps you can make these more beautiful than the others." So saying, she vanished, and the boys were left alone, but each held in his hand a new book open at the first page. And on the back of this book was written in letters of gold, "For the New Year." -<>- ~ ON IMMIGRATION ~ "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." -- Theodore Roosevelt 1907 -<>- .-------. !_______!

Finally Florence's determination won out. She entered a school in Germany, took training as a nurse, and loved every moment of the hard life. Her mother never could understand Florence's insistence on working in the dirt, misery, and suffering of the hospitals of England. In the early 1800's many nurses were untrained, coarse, ignorant women who were sometimes cruel to their patients. But bad as conditions were in England, Florence soon would be involved in something worse. In 1854 the Crimean War broke out between Russia and Turkey. England sent troops to help Turkey, and soon the news came back that in the first battle thousands of English soldiers had been killed or wounded. Florence saw in this a still greater opportunity to help the sick. With permission from the War Department, she sailed with a party of nurses to Turkey. She thought she knew what she was getting into, but when she smelled the foul air of the barracks being used as a hospital, saw the dirt and the lack of common ordinary items she would need, such as bowls, towels, soap, chairs, and tables, she was appalled. Often the wounded men were left lying in the uniforms they had worn on the battlefield. Florence jumped right into the challenge. She didn't know about germs, but she knew about cleanliness. She set up a laundry, scrubbed the floors, organized a schedule for the nurses, including the preparation of good meals, and saw to it that the medicines and supplies sent to the hospital from England actually got to the wounded soldiers. After the war Florence determined that the whole army medical system must be reformed, and she saw that this was done. She helped establish an army medical school, as well as a top-notch nurse's training school. Florence Nightingale's determination hadn't let her take it easy when she was young, and that determination kept her busy and happy until she died at the age of 90. Her life was rich and full, because she determined to do her best.

This year, as with every year, I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember, I do not need your help. If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it all in the SFJTD BOX. (Something for Jesus to Do) It will be addressed in my time, not yours. Please be patient. Once the matter has been placed in the box, do not hold onto it. Do not become impatient and take it back to see if you can find a solution. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem. You must surrender the problem to Me for proper resolution. If a situation you think you cannot handle arises, please consult Me in prayer. Together we will come up with proper resolution. If you do not receive what you anticipate as proper response from Me, remember--some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayer. Because I do not sleep, there is no need for you to lose any.

I heard of a man who occasionally swallowed coins -- enough to make him sick! Which, as it turns out, was the whole idea. When asked why he made himself sick swallowing coins, he replied that he enjoyed the affection and attention the staff showed him in the hospital! He was lonely. Many of us are lonely. When asked, "What is life's heaviest burden?" one lonely old man answered, "To have nothing to carry." A cure for loneliness is to carry the burden of another. Get involved with their problems. Visit others who are also lonely. Listen to someone else's troubles. Find people who need you and do some­thing for them. Carrying another's burden will lighten the load of your loneliness. I know a woman who gave each person in her family a golden angel lapel pin one Christmas. "Wear it on your collar or shoulder," she said, "to remind you that your guardian angel is always looking over your shoulder." Her brother noticed his pin had a broken wing. He held up his damaged angel and quipped, "It figures. My guardian angel is missing a wing. She can't even take care of herself!" Two years later he died of cancer. As I thought of the pain his family must be feel­ing, I was struck with how his broken angel is like each of us. We each hurt. We all experience loss. At times we are lonely. Like that angel, we are each broken in some way, even if our damage is interior and in­visible to other's. But we're each like his broken angel in an­other way, too. As it has been so beautifully said, "We are all like angels with just one wing. We can only fly by embracing each other." You see, we will heal best by hanging on to one another. And we will overcome lone­liness best by putting an arm around someone else and going it with them. This family embraced each other. And as they carried one another's burdens, their own loads were lightened. It's a solution for loneliness -- and a formula for happiness.

He has court cases that will go to the Supreme Court and thanks to the Texas case, he's now aware how to file them properly...under Article 3 not 2...so the SCOTUS will be forced to listen! He now has the DNI report. Barr stepped down and can now be a witness...he did his job. Durham is Special Counsel and can prosecute, in any state. He’s letting civil, criminal and federal courts fail to handle the situation properly...so he can use military tribunals. He has ALL the data from the NSA, the Kraken supercomputer, the Alice supercomputer and likely many more computers, unknown to us. He has the dueling electors from 7 state legislatures. He has VP Pence, as the final arbiter of which ballots to accept. He has the Insurrection Act, the NDAA, the national emergency, the 14th Amendment, the 2018 Executive Order, the 2017 very first EO, the Patriot Act, the FISA warrants, the Declassification of everything, people swearing affidavits by the 1000s. He has all the statistical data being analyzed...along with the videos, emails, phone calls and bank transfer statements...showing the coordination of the coup d'etat. He has RICO and he has the crimes against humanity videos. Wikileaks just dropped extensive information and Assange will be pardoned. Assange can then openly discuss the murder of Seth Rich. Now that the Governors and Secretary of States certified and Biden accepted...they each committed and knowingly agreed to acts of Treason. Solar Winds was literally just raided and Dominion is closing down, as well. He has the CIA servers, used to change Dominion machine votes from Trump to Biden...and he will soon have access to the actual machines, themselves. He baited the Deep State into staying in DC, so they can be arrested. Biden hasn’t accepted any transition money and Harris has still not given up her seat on the Senate. The military has infiltrated Antifa and BLM. He has all their financial records. He knows which politicians took Chinese and Soros money...both Republican and Democrat. He positioned Christopher Miller as Secretary of Defense and Ezra- Cohen Watnick as Assistant Secretary of Defense. He literally just wrote an Executive Order, regarding the military line of succession. Many suspect Watnick to be Q. He is defunding the CIA. He just replaced Kissinger & Albright on the National Security Advisory Board...with men loyal to him. The military has been flying planes, far more than usual, all over the country. The Navy just parked mega fleets on both coasts. The 82nd Airborne is preparing for an operation...which is the same group that General Flynn & AG Donoghue were enlisted in. Pieces are finally falling into place. POTUS has it all! He is just laying out the pieces and building the narrative. He knows he won and they committed Treason! He set a trap and they walked right in, without hesitation. He gave the Deep State the chance to come clean and try to fix things. They chose Treason! They will all hang, as the result. Patriots in control! Nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing. --- ...That last line gave me a big SMILE! Thanks LouiseAu! Yes, through Christ - nothing can stop God's Will! ========================================================== >-->From our Friend Fran :) ,;;;;;, ,;;;;;;;;, ;;;'____ ; ;;;(\\\\\; `/'((||||| ___< C))|||| ,' \__(((||), | \ _)))))))\,_ /| |/"\`\`""""' |) ; \ \ ) \_____/_| | |\ \' _.,-' | | ' \ \.,-' _./ | ( _,-\ _.-'' | ; "'|___\__.-' ; ) |----| _.--,;' ; ,' , | ( __.,-' | ,' ,' `""'' `. | ; ) `, ( ) | ( ,' | | ( | | | | | | | |___________| | | | | Normand Veilleux based on work by Tua Xiong >MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE I remember receiving the call around 11:30pm. With caller ID I knew it couldn't be good news from my mother. "Diane, your sister has been life-flighted to Scranton. There's been an accident. I received a call from the hospital. Right now she's being operated on. That's all I know." "I'm on my way, mom." The drive was 45 minutes, and we had no idea what caused the injury. Was it a car accident? No information was released. Waiting patiently for hours in the waiting room, a brain surgeon came out and gave us the grim news. Her prognosis was she was brain dead, with little hope of survival. A passing motorist saw her lying on the road and called 911. I remembered seeing her lying there in a coma, with life support allowing her chest to rise with each breath. I remembered watching my watching mother reaching for her daughter's hand, and sobbing at the sight of her swollen bandaged head. Joni died at age 45, an unsung hero who donated her organs in spite of the cruel and calculated attempts of a cover-up from a hit-and-run driver. My sister was a giver, even in her death. Eventually police were able to gather forensic evidence which led the man to turn himself in weeks later. Naturally any blood alcohol could not be traced. Before the actual sentencing we received word from a married gentleman with one child who received my sister's heart. The transplant went well and Joni's heart had immediate function. He was very thankful for the opportunity to still have time to spend with his family. Her bone marrow and tissue along with her kidneys were able to help countless others. It was up to me to face the judge, and the man who left her on the road to die. I remember my final words to the court were something like this: "I conclude your honor with an imploring plea from my family that you will consider the maximum penalty on behalf of my sister and our family. It cost my sister her all -- we believe it should cost him his all." Being the oldest child I don't know what was more heartbreaking. Losing my sister, or watching the devastating effects it was having on my parents. The judge told me what the state sentencing guidelines required him to hand down. I had already done my homework and was prepared for the slap on his wrist. He faced a one year prison sentence for the murder of my sister! The reporters who followed me out of the courtroom asked if I was satisfied. My statement was, "I believed the judge did all he could do because of state legislation. I don't believe the sentence was enough, but I know he did the best he could." I had been researching night after night. Something was wrong with Pennsylvania hit-and-run laws. There was a loop hole that was allowing people to get away with murder! When I stumbled across the hit-and-run laws of all 50 states, my crusade began. Armed with information and statistics, I was prepared to wage war, and phoned WILK talk show host Sue Henry and was soon invited as a guest speaker the day after my sister's killer was sentenced. A few days later the local news headlines read: "CRUSADE to change PA. Hit-and-run law gets lawmakers' attention. Sister's death moves Velikis to close loophole." Periodic contact and updates continued. We are still waiting for a bill to be passed. The the ball is in motion. It still needs to be presented before the house, but God used me and my sister as a vessel. Finally, now I have peace. The two things we did have in common were writing, and I know had it been me lying on the road that day, she'd have been trying to do something -- anything -- to make this world a better place. -- Diane Velikis --- ...So touching.

How would we answer? Did we include Him in our shopping sprees and holiday parties? Did we remember the blessing of His birth as we gathered around our Christmas dinner? Was His Name mentioned as we tore through gifts? Or was the Christmas story just an afterthought as we careened through the hectic weeks of December? "Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His Holy Name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits" (Psalm 103:1-2 NIV) In these verses David commands his soul to praise His God! He puts aside his kingly responsibilities, the concerns of his family, and the demands of his people to worship and praise God! Perhaps we should follow suit! As the world spirals out of control, we must stay grounded and focused on our King! We cannot be carried away with the things of the world, or caught up in its clutches of materialism and greed. Yes, we must be in the world, but we must not be of it! I pray in this coming week we would all prayerfully consider the coming New Year! Considering that Christ could return any day now, we should be more focused on being God’s hands and feet on the earth in 2021! Our Spiritual priorities should be much higher than our earthly aspirations! By focusing our “inmost being” on His Holy Name, we won’t lose sight of our primary mission of sharing the message of reconciliation between God and man (as 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 puts it). Once we remember that our God will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19), fear, anxiety and stress should be minimized! And when we can calm our soul with The Word, then worship comes quickly and ministry usually follows: a secret satan does NOT want you to know! Because IF he can keep us bound with earthly concerns, then the concerns of The Kingdom take second place. And I don’t know about you, BUT I don’t want to be caught off guard when that trumpet blasts!!! I want to be found faithful and embracing all of the benefits of The Kingdom of God available in Christ! I don’t want to remember a manger once a year, or a Cross only on Easter. I don’t want to compromise the Truth of God’s Word with worldly traditions or thought, but I want the wonder and majesty of Jesus Christ to reign in my heart 365 days a year! I want to let The Holy Spirit consume me with His Presence and Power! I want to appropriate every drop of Blood that was spilled at Calvary and embrace the grace that was purchased there! I am a child of God and I belong to Him! And one day He will take me HOME for Eternity and I will live in His Presence forever! Beam me up Lord! And until that Day, may I live for You! -<>- The freedom God gives has built-in limits for our good - laws that protect us from evil and safeguard our happiness. ,-=-. / ) ( c/=( `-( _/ _/ (_ / `-- ) < , ) )> / \/ \ (/\ / ,' ) \ \ -=` / / | \ \-` / | '\| <_./ \ / | / , \ <,_./ | / | /_ | | ``--.__.-='! | / \ !

With a prayer on his lips, peace in his spirit, and faith in his heart, he gazed into his Father's eyes. He noticed the Lord's eyes were clear, brilliant, and sharply focused. The follower turned to see the Lord looking out at a pathway. The pathway was only visible for a few hundred yards and faded from view behind a small hill. The follower noticed other pathways close by. It was at this time that the Lord spoke--- "The pathway you see is the path that I haven chosen and prepared for you. Follow it with confidence, trust, and courage. It will perfectly lead you into the plans I have for your life. If you ever wonder where the pathway is taking you, simply look down and you will notice my footsteps ahead of you and behind you. As you walk you will notice other pathways close to yours. Some will draw your interest and curiosity. You may be attracted because of flowers that border them, trees that shade them or the direction in which they are heading. What you don't see is the depth of the valleys, and the steepness of the mountains through which they wind. Those whom I have called to travel these other pathways will have my grace for their journey. I do not want you to waste your time imagining what it might be like traveling down someone else's path. If you choose another's path, you will not have my grace upon you, and the valleys and hills will burden you and create a weariness within you. The time and energy I give you will always be enough for each day's travel, and you will find many resting places along the way. Give yourself completely to the path I have prepared for you. As you do, continue to look upon My face, for My smile will be upon you. Never forget that everything is significant and working together for the good. I know where the path will take you, for I have already traveled it. Believe Me when I say that you can never imagine the incredible things that await you."

But every year there are those who remain, Looking only for friendship nothing else to gain. They have stayed by me through good and bad, Smiled when I am happy held me when I've been sad. After so many years you begin to realize, That a friend is life's greatest prize, Not the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, That we seem to seek where ever we go. So as I grow older and begin another New Year's Day, I will thank God for those friends He sent my way. And my New Years resolution will always be, To thank Him again for every breath of life He's given me. Then I will pray He will show me the way, Give me wisdom and guide me through each day. And most of all at the end of each year, Keep by me those friends I will always hold so dear. And as I make new friends I'll treasure the old, For the first are silver the latter gold.
