Each day, each song, each moment is tied directly to something wonderful that happened somewhere back in time for me. They don't gather dust like some old antique. These memories sit well within that place in my mind that I return to often leaving little time for dust gathering. This year I am making a special place in my heart for the story of my tree. It is one I will be quick to share most any time of year, for as long as I live. It has been a tradition that we cut down our Christmas tree from a local tree farm located about 45 minutes from where we live. Not just any tree, but one that talks to me. Yes, I talk to trees and they talk to me. Not all the trees, just the one that I am to select that year. No, I don't hear voices, but I connect to it almost on a spiritual level. It's a feeling I get that confirms I have found the right one. I'll admit that there have been times when we have walked so long around the tree farm they all start talking. They all look good. But somehow it always ends up being the perfect tree, the most beautiful and most loved tree of all. I was told once that the most loved tree on earth at Christmas is selected to be in the Nativity in Heaven. A most prestigious position indeed. Which brings me to my present day dilemma regarding my pine tree in our front yard. After struggling with the idea of losing the tree, I decided that I would keep it by trimming all of the bottom limbs. Those branches were clipped and offered to a nearby florist. They were thrilled to have them. The thought that part of the tree would end up in floral arrangements gave me peace -- even more people would enjoy it. I convinced my wife that the tree would look good the way it was and she agreed that we should keep it. Then I received a phone call that same evening. "Bob, I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I understand you called last week to offer your tree as a gift to our church," the man said. I struggled for words. I wanted to tell him that it was too late, but I ended up going into the whole story. I told him how we raised it from a sapling. I told him about all the snow storms and dry summers. I mentioned my two sons. Then I said, "I promised it one more Christmas." There was silence. I'm not sure he understood. "Did your church need the tree?" I asked. I couldn't believe I said it! I thought I settled this whole thing -- we were keeping it. "Well, yes. We try every year to get one. We don't always. It's a wonderful thing you are doing," he said. I didn't think I was doing it. I thought I made up my mind. Why was I even having this conversation? "Are you familiar with our community event?" I was. That's why I called him. Yes, I understand thousands attend. "That's what we need it for. The Nativity," he said. Oh, Lord. I can't believe it. How absolutely perfect. The tree that I loved so very much would end up in the Nativity. The Back Mountain Harvest Assembly presents the Nativity outdoors with four performances over one weekend in December. People come from miles around to participate. This tiny sapling raised with love over the past 16 years would end up in the Nativity. I had promised it one more Christmas. It ended up in wreaths, floral arrangements and as the story goes, a place in the Nativity for the most loved tree. They are coming for the tree on the weekend. By the way. The name of the community production is... The Gift. -- Bob Perks ___________________________________________ Bob is a Heartwarmer Gem and a professional speaker, author, and vocalist.

She worked for the Confederate forces, patching up dozens of wounded, sick soldiers every day. One day at the war's end, news came that President Lincoln would be visiting this Confederate field hospital. Many of the rebel soldiers were terrified of meeting him. Surely Lincoln was a monster, and he would treat the Confederate soldiers cruelly! But when Lincoln entered the hospital tent, he began to cry. He bent over the injured soldiers' cots and spoke softly to them. He patted their hands and stroked their hair, just as a father might do. And when he left, the men could not stop talking about what a good man he was. They had expected a tyrant, and found instead a kind and gentle and forgiving leader."2 Many times we are taught to fear God because of how he can punish us, instead of focusing on how much he loved us and has given so that we won't have to suffer punishment! Children are taught a God full of rules, but we sometimes leave out His amazing grace. It is true that God is against all sin, not because he's out to get us, but because he is truly a loving Father who wants to protect us from hurting ourselves and others and to save us from the ultimate consequences of sin which is eternal death and eternal separation from God. The fact is that no matter what you and I have done or failed to do, God loves us with an everlasting, unconditional love. But he does want us to come to him for forgiveness and to experience abundant life in Him. Suggested prayer: Dear God, thank you that you love and accept me as I am, and that you also love me too much to leave me as I am. Please help me to know that my sins are forgiven the moment I accept your gift of eternal life. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen. 1. John 3:16 (NIV). 2.

The wintery season, with or without snow, has come to hold a beloved place in the hearts of most people around the nation. For many, the cold (or cooler) weather, accompanied with the white and colored lights that decorate neighborhoods, causes a nostalgic feeling that brings memories of warmth and joy. Families look forward to the time-honored traditions of trimming the tree, wrapping special gifts and baking sweet treats. Christmas carols play over the speakersin the grocery store and in our car, putting us in a Christmas mode. Although many of our beloved traditions came to America only a couple of centuries ago, other countries have celebrated Christmas in a similar manner for a lot longer. And of course, the history of Christmas dates back to that quiet night in a worn stable, 2000 years ago, when our Savior came to this world to bring us hope and salvation. Even in a world where many still reject Jesus as Savior, the word 'Christmas'¯ brings honor to the one whose name is uttered. It is hard to say, 'Merry Christmas'¯ to someone without saying 'Christ'¯. It is hard to sing 'Silent Night' without giving reference to the events of that Holy Night. And the star (or Angel) atop the tree still announces the birth of Christ so long ago. So, you see, the reason for this beloved season and all the joy it brings is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ! This Season, as you go about in the "Hustle and bustle" of the Holiday, let us make sure our focus stays on the real reason for the celebration, giving honor to the birthday Joy-giver. Let the words 'Merry CHRISTmas' ring true to all those you wish it to! Suggested Prayer: Dear Lord, as we head into this very busy Holiday season, help me to keep focus on the fact that this most popular celebration was made to bring glory to you. Help me make you the priority 'the Reason' for the Season! In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen. 1: Luke 2:11.

His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn't sure I wanted one. I wasn't sure how my customers would react to Stevie. He was short, a little dumpy with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Downs Syndrome. I wasn't worried about most of my trucker customers because truckers don't generally care who buses tables as long as the meatloaf platter is good and the pies are homemade. The four-wheeler drivers were the ones who concerned me; the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs who secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded "truck stop germ"; the pairs of white-shirted business men on expense accounts who think every truck stop waitress wants to be flirted with. I knew those people would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my truck regulars had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. He would hover in the background, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, scanning the dining room until a table was empty. Then he would scurry to the empty table and carefully bus dishes and glasses onto cart and meticulously wipe the table up with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a customer was watching, his brow would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how hard he tried to please each and every person he met. Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. They lived on their Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck stop. Their social worker, who stopped to check on him every so often, admitted they had fallen between the cracks. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. That's why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a new valve or something put in his heart. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months. A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, the head waitress, let out a war hoop and did a little dance in the aisle when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at the sight of this 50-year-old grandmother of four doing a victory shimmy beside his table. Frannie blushed, smoothed her apron and shot Belle Ringer a withering look. He grinned. "OK, Frannie, what was that all about?" he asked. "We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay." "I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?" Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie's surgery, then sighed: "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said. "But I don't know how he and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getting by as it is." Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables. Since I hadn't had time to round up a busboy to replace Stevie and really didn't want to replace him, the girls were busing their own tables that day until we decided what to do. After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand and a funny look on her face. "What's up?" I asked. "I didn't get that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting cleared off after they left, and Pony Pete and Tony Tipper were sitting there when I got back to clean it off," she said. "This was folded and tucked under a coffee cup." She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed "Something For Stevie". "Pony Pete asked me what that was all about," she said, "so I told him about Stevie and his Mom and everything, and Pete looked at Tony and Tony looked at Pete, and they ended up giving me this." She handed me another paper napkin that had "Something For Stevie" scrawled on its outside. Two $50 bills were tucked within its folds. Frannie looked at me with wet, shiny eyes, shook her head and said simply: "truckers." That was three months ago. Today is Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie is supposed to be back to work. His placement worker said he's been counting the days until the doctor said he could work, and it didn't matter at all that it was a holiday. He called 10 times in the past week, making sure we knew he was coming, fearful that we had forgotten him or that his job was in jeopardy. I arranged to have his mother bring him to work. I then met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back. Stevie was thinner and paler, but couldn't stop grinning as he pushed through the doors and headed for the back room where his apron and busing cart were waiting. "Hold up there, Stevie, not so fast," I said. I took him and his mother by their arms. "Work can wait for a minute. To celebrate you coming back, breakfast for you and your mother is on me!" I led them toward a large corner booth at the rear of the room. I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw booth after booth of grinning truckers empty and join the procession. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups, saucers and dinner plates, all sitting slightly crooked on dozens of folded paper napkins. "First thing you have to do, Stevie, is clean up this mess," I said. I tried to sound stern. Stevie looked at me, and then at his mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had "Something for Stevie" printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed or scrawled on it. I turned to his mother. .--------------. |~ ~| |H____________H| |.------------.| ||::.. __ || |'--------'--''| | '. ______ .' | | _ |======| _ | |(_)|======|(_)| |___|======|___| [______________] |##| |##| jrei '""' '"" "There's more than $10,000 in cash and checks on table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems. "Happy Thanksgiving," I told her. Well, it got real noisy about that time, with everybody hollering and shouting, and there were a few tears, as well. But you know what's funny? While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, was busy clearing all the cups and dishes from the table .......

Mazzella I heard the sweetest sound today. It was sweeter than birds singing, wind chimes tinkling, or music playing. It was so beautiful that it instantly made my face smile, my heart sing, and my spirit soar to Heaven. It was my littlest child saying, "I love you." You know there is nothing like a few good words to make your day and remake your life. Words are such a glorious gift from God. They have the power to spread love, share joy, and create happiness. They have the ability to lift a beaten and battered heart up to the sky. They have the strength to help a despairing soul in its hour of greatest need. It is a shame then that we don't use more good words in our lives. There is nothing like a few kind words to bring a little goodness and delight into another's life. Mark Twain used to say that he could go for days on a good compliment. It feels so good too when we use our words to build others up rather than tearing them down. It feels so wonderful to share a few honest words of praise. If feels so fantastic to let another person know that they are loved, admired, and cared for. If you truly want to change your life for the better then make two lists of words. On the first put all the negative words you hear all the time like: hate, hurt, no, can't, pain, destroy, and those I won't even mention here. On the second list put every positive word you can think of like: joy, love, light, delight, peace, happiness, goodness, kindness, fantastic, wonderful, good, great, glorious, and don't forget yes. Then throw away the first list and always use the second. You will be amazed at the miracle that will take place. You will be in awe of the joy, love, peace, and happiness that will flow into your life. You will be filled with wonder at how God, yourself, and a few good words brought Heaven to Earth. -<>- ^ _ ^ | { \ 0 / } ---*--- { /|\ } |\ { /|||\ } | /---------------\ {/ ||| \} | \ / \ ||||| | \ \ / _ \ ||||||| *^* o | \ \ \ / O| _ \ / \ |0| (=) | /| - / \ | ) |\ ## /|\ 0 | \ \ \ | (\ | |\/| | (|\ /|||\ === \ \ ___ || | | | | __|| \[=]/ /o\ \ /o=/| || | | | /\___ | | || ||| =O= |---|/ / |\| | | \ |\| o/ \ ||| ||| |---|| |___\ | | || | | |__\ / \ ||| | | ************************************************************************* -Ned Lally >Christmas and The Great Gift Bill Walker wildbill6807@yahoo.com We all seem to like to give and receive gifts. At Christmas time seems like something special takes place. Go into about any store, and see people spending money for some special gift for a loved one. I was thinking of a special gift. It is one of a kind, and the thing is one don't have to wait for Christmas to take the gift. It is free. John 3,16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have ever lasting life. What a gift. Free, can pick it up any day or night. It is there for the taking. Believe, ask, and you will receive. You can get it any where, any time, any place. You don't have to be nothing but just humble your self, and say Lord God, I except the greatest gift one can receive. Walk best you can in the foot steps of Jesus. Oh you will stumble now and then. But that is what Jesus came for. He will look back, and pick you up and carry you cross the sands of time. Now then take a look at those lines in John 3,16. Think a bit what it says. I believe God did love the world, after all he made it and everything in and on it. But I think the main thing is he loved us sinners. He saw there was no way we were going to make it home. So he sent the greatest gift. His only begotten Son to take the sins. There is no other way for us to get home, with out that gift. Now he gave the gift, but he never forced anyone to take it. It is there for the taking. Just except, believe, and follow best you can. God knows a couple things. Well he knows all things, but these two stand out in what is wrote many places in the Bible. Man is weak, we fall, stumble a lot. Anyone that says other wise is a fool. There isn't a day that goes by the best of us don't stumble a bit. We may think we are as pure as pure can be, but that isn't the case. Sin is every where, in many different forms. No one is perfect, remember that too is in the Bible. The only perfect came on that cold winter night so long ago. To pay the price for our sins. Any one who says they are prefect, better look out, might get hung on a tree. Thank you Dear God for the most wonderful gift of all time. Your only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST. All other gifts pale, and fade away. That gift will never do so. -<>- >Links for Your Enjoyment :) The Christmas Story! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/christmasstory.html US Civil War In Color! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/civilwar.html Puppy Rescue! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/puppyrescue.html Fire Hydrants! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/firehydrants.html Adorable Puppies! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/puppies.html Piglet The Pink Puppy! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/piglet.html Twin Baby Elephants! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/twinelephants.html Firefighter Animal Rescues! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/firefighters.html Awesome Trains! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/trains.html Silly Veggies! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/veggies.html Sgt.

He called for animal sacrifices to teach His people the seriousness of sin and to prepare the way for Jesus. God taught that when a sacrifice was offered, it was to be pure and without blemish: "If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord" (Leviticus 1:3). Approximately 900 years after the sacrificial law was given to Moses, God used the prophet Malachi to call the people back to a true heart of worship. Since the time of Moses, the people of Israel had gone through many highs and lows in their worship and were currently on another downward spiral. The priests had become very casual with the sacrifices; they had lost all sense of reverence and had ceased to offer God their absolute best. Malachi 1:7-8 "You place defiled food on My altar. But you ask, `How have we defiled You?' By saying that the Lord's table is contemptible. When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong?" With the perfect and acceptable sacrifice of Jesus, the need for animal sacrifice has ended; "He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood" (Hebrews 9:12). Through faith in Jesus, our sins are completely forgiven; "By one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy" (Hebrews 10:14). Faith in the sacrifice of Jesus has become our final sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin; we have been perfected by His blood. However, each of us who have experienced God's mercy and grace are now urged "to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God" (Romans 12:1a). We are to offer this sacrifice not to earn or even maintain our Salvation, but because "this is our spiritual act of worship" (Romans 12:1b). A true understanding of God's grace in granting us eternal life ought to compel us to a life of thanksgiving and sacrificial worship. But when we leave His presence for the pleasures of this world, we create blemishes on our heart; and when we practice or give approval to sin, we become spiritually crippled and diseased. We must present ourselves to God and allow Him to use us for His glory. He deserves our very best! We should offer ourselves with a pure heart, without selfish ambition or pride, and free of worldly compromise. God has given us all we have, made us all we are, and is leading us to all we will become. Let's worship and serve Him with the best we have to offer; let's present our lives to Him as an unblemished sacrifice. Have a Christ Centered Day!

When we are brought into a right relationship with God through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, we begin a process of learning what it means to "put on the new self" (Ephesians 4:24a) and live a life of "true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:24b). But many still struggle with the idea of holiness. Some view holiness as an unnecessary set of rules and cling to "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). Others simply don't give holy living any thought. They take Jesus to church on Sunday morning but then return Him to the shelf for the rest of their "normal" week. In either case, the point of true freedom and a loving relationship with the eternal God has been sadly missed. Romans 6:2-4 "We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Salvation involves death and new life! When we truly believe in Jesus, we become united with Him in His death; "our old self was crucified with Him" (Romans 6:6). But we also become united with Him in His life; "count yourself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus" (Romans 6:11). A child of God is no longer controlled by the sinful nature; "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life" (Romans 6:22). The result of being set free is eternal life but the benefit is holiness. How often do we recognize holiness as a benefit - a gift to all who believe? Holiness is a wonderful privilege (not a burden or obligation) and can only be accomplished by living a new life in Christ. When Jesus truly resides in our heart, His thoughts become our thoughts and His desires become our desires. Without Christ, a holy life is not even possible. When Jesus said "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10), He was talking about the blessings in this present life which come through a life of commitment and trust. Following Jesus in all things is truly living life to the fullest! Jesus Christ gave His life so we can be restored. Let's walk with Him every moment of every day. Let's begin to truly live the new life in Christ and gratefully receive the privileged gift of holiness. Have a Christ Centered Day!

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, we are given God's spirit - we are born-again with God, in Christ, in us... Col.1: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery (secret) among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: God's Word is very precise.

[15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Thoughts Wild turkey hunting is exciting! You give a few yelps on your favorite call, and a gobble comes back--the big old Tom is coming! He thinks he is coming to fulfill his desire to mate. But instead, the lure of the sweet sounds leads him to his death. This is like sin. Sin entices us--lures us, calls us--to indulge, enjoy, to involve ourselves in its temporary pleasures. But what is so alluring and seems so exciting leads us to death, both physically and spiritually. God has provided Jesus Christ as the payment for sin. His call leads to abundant life. Each one of us must accept Him. Don't be lured to destruction by sin! Accept God's forgiveness in Christ and enjoy abundant life, here and hereafter. (Jack M) Action Point When you hear the call of sin--the invitation to participate in what seems so sweet-- consider the results. Sin always takes you further than you want to go; keeps you longer than you wanted to stay, and costs more than you wanted to pay. The temptation is not the sin. Say "NO!" to the temptation. Cry to God in prayer, and leave the temptation behind. Sportsmen's Tip of the Day Practice with your calls long before the season begins. Also make sure the calls are conditioned. Slate and glass calls need to have the surfaces conditioned. Scotch Brite works great for slate calls, and sand paper on glass surfaced calls. Box calls need adjusted, before the season begins. as seen in Sportsmen's Devotionals -<>- .-""-._ / ___/ \ _&_ _.--""|/ `\| // \\ .'

They did not believe he had truly become a believer! When Saul left Damascus, he returned to Jerusalem, where he had presided over the martyrdom of Stephen. Did he receive a hero's welcome from his fellow believers? Did they hear he had become a believer and say, "The notorious Christian-killer, Saul, is one of us now. Let's welcome him"? No. They didn't even believe he had been converted. I wonder how many this is true of today. They come to Christ and attend church for the first time, and no one welcomes them. Maybe they get a cold shoulder from someone. Maybe they get a mean look. Maybe they wore the wrong T-shirt with the wrong slogan that day. Come on. Can we be patient with people? Can we recognize that when someone is a new believer, they will be a little rough around the edges? What are we expecting? I wonder if we have people like Saul who come into our churches and never make that transition. In Saul's life, that is where Barnabas came in. (By the way, the name Barnabas means "son of encouragement): "Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. He also told them that Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus in Damascus" (Acts 9:27). Apparently Barnabas had some credibility with the apostles, because they seemed to accept what he had to say. He put it all on the line and backed Saul's story because it was true. We need more people like Barnabas today—people who know how to lift someone up, people who know how to comfort a person and motivate a person. That is what Barnabas did for Saul. And that is what we need to do as well. as seen in Daily Devotion with Greg Laurie -<>- ___ /_\_\ |;-^-'| ; ._ d - j :. ,<%@. |-_-| / \ {_ _,l ___/\_ _/\_ \,< ___ <~L~>\. /___\_\'/_/_`-.( `___\ \ - |` /___ \ \|/|po /||_/-___L":--;" L _ \ \ |o|LY| |(n==\^\^''--`-,-_ [-><-]=3 || ^;| |`\ _')>\ /<__/\ |< !c)|o ; |;| "| _' \ \/ /po | |- | | ; ' |,-. |.V \/ |LY | |\__, _L |o : | / \ \||\ |o^ ^| | _|/| / _\__ : / 7 '<|`. | | | / |L/ < /\: | Y \ | \|' | | | |/ /_ | | | | \| A|. | | /| |/|PO| | || | | |V| | | || |<|LY| | || | |,| | |_ | / | | ^^ | | | | | |____| |" | | | | | | | | |#^' |4 \ | | | | | | |,| | |%_| | | |m | A \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / | / | | \ || | | | | | | / /| |__| || | | l | | |> / / | | \___/|_A_| | | | | / / | | | | || |m1a >TEN RIGHTEOUS MEN God hated the sin in Noah's day, for men's hearts were full of sin!

Forgive me, please. I've been here, but my mind has been cluttered with so much stuff of life. Maybe you know what I mean. Maybe you can relate. Maybe that's why you and I have been "friends I've never met," for so long. We find comfort in each other. I've never pretended to be one of those people who give the impression that they have all the answers. I tell you what I know, what I believe and then I pray that it helps you. Simply put, I stand on the shoulders of giants. People who know more than I, learned about life the hard way and then made it their mission to share what they've learned influence what I say and how I say it. First and foremost, God, I read Og Mandino, Norman Vincent Peale, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, and Nathaniel Bronner and message from you about your life. Yes, you! I read about your own personal struggles and you keep me updated as to how you are doing. I am amazed! I am a story teller. I am not a preacher although God is the focus of my stories in the sense that I rely on Him to guide my hands when writing to you. I am a Christian, but I love all people no matter what their faith. Even if they have no faith at all. My personal agreement with God is for me to write for you and for Him to take over from there. So, if ever you have found value in my work, thank God first, then ask Him how you can grow with it. The one thing about a relationship with God is you can't just use Him and then set Him aside. You can't call on Him only when you are struggling. Like family He needs to hear from you regularly. Like friends He needs to be told how much you love and appreciate Him. God is not a religion you say you believe in. He's not Santa or the Easter Bunny. He's your Father, Abba, Yahweh or whatever you call Him by faith. I write about my downs as well as my ups. It is also a part of that agreement God and I have. It has proven to be of great value because I have a number of times received messages that started out..."This is just what I needed today," "I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone. You have struggled with this, too." It's what I am supposed to do. You may then find more strength in my having struggled with something and over come it, then reading about some "happy little camper" who appears to find life a breeze. When I recently visited with my friend Nathaniel Bronner, in Atlanta, I was there because God spoke to him. He told me God wanted me there. I went. It was like having your manager tell you that "the Boss wants to speak with you." (smile) He spoke. I listened. There was so much I discovered that I had to take time to sort it all out. Two words I kept hearing while attending church for three days, were "This time." Like so many of my stories I am often ignited by a sound, a sight or a word or two. "This time" I will get it right for He has made it right for me. "This time" I will make it because He has made a path clear. "This time" I will stand taller, walk steadier, see more clearly and hear more intently. "This time" I will know that every step I take, every word I write or speak will be His Word. "This time" I will see even more of the details of life than I ever thought possible. "This time" I will expand my reach, stand more solidly on the truth... that I do indeed have a mission to "touch the world one person at a time." "This time" I will hold on and not let go. You see, He had to kill my spirit so that He could take my life... on the rest of my journey. I am here to stay. Journey with me, my friend. We will get through this together... "This Time!" Love always and all ways. "I wish you enough!" J Bob I encourage you to share my stories but I do ask that you keep my name and contact information with my work.

Just then the back door opened, a man came down the aisle, The minister frowned as he saw the man hadn't shaved in awhile. His shirt was kinda' shabby and his coat was worn and frayed. The man knelt, he bowed his head, then rose and walked away. In the days that followed, each noon time came this chap, Each time he knelt just for a moment, a lunch pail in his lap. Well, the minister's suspicions grew, with robbery a main fear, He decided to stop the man and ask him, "Whatcha doing' here?" The old man, he worked down the road. Lunch was half an hour. Lunch time was his prayer time, for finding strength and power. "I stay only moments, see, 'cause the factory is so far away; As I kneel here talking' to the Lord, this is kinda' what I say: "I just came again to tell you, Lord, how happy I have been, Since we found each other's friendship and you took away my sin. I don't know much of how to pray, but I think about you every day. So Jesus, this is Jim checkin' in." The minister felt foolish. Told Jim, that was fine. He told the man he was welcome to come and pray just anytime. Time to go, Jim smiled, said "Thanks." He hurried to the door. The minister knelt at the altar, he'd never done it before. His cold heart melted, warmed with love, met with Jesus there. As the tears flowed, in his heart, he repeated old Jim's prayer: "I just came again to tell you, Lord, how happy I have been, Since we found each other's friendship and you took away my sin. I don't know much of how to pray, but I think about you every day. So Jesus, this is me checkin' in." Past noon one day, the minister noticed that old Jim hadn't come. As more days passed with out Jim, he began to worry some. At the factory, he asked about him, learning he was ill. The hospital staff was worried, but he'd given them a thrill. The week that Jim was with them, brought changes in the ward. His smiles, a joy contagious, changed people, his reward. The head nurse couldn't understand why Jim was so glad, When no flowers, calls or cards came, not a visitor he had. The minister stayed by his bed, he voiced the nurse's concern: No friends came to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up and with a winsome smile; "The nurse is wrong, she couldn't know, that all the while Everyday at noon He's here, a dear friend of mine, you see. He sits right down, takes my hand, leans over and says to me: "I just came again to tell you, Jim, how happy I have been, Since we found this friendship and I took away your sin. I always love to hear you pray, I think about you every day. And so Jim, this is Jesus checkin' in." ------------- Dear God: Help me not forget to "check in" every day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited... JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited. You have to wait in line to see Santa... JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. Santa lets you sit on his lap... JESUS lets you rest in His arms. Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is ''Hi little boy or girl, what is your name?"... JESUS knew our name before we were born. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly... JESUS has a heart full of love. All Santa can offer is "HO HO HO"... JESUS offers health, help, and hope. Santa says "You better not cry"... JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you." Santa little helpers make toys... JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle but... JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
