Keeping Christmas in Perspective Christmas has become very commercialized; it has become about buying presents instead of giving. The malls are crowed with people trying to buy their family members and friends the most expensive gifts. That is ok as long as in the center of the season is Christ. You can live on the streets or in the largest mansion and still have the spirit of Christmas in your heart. Christmas is not about gifts; it is about the Giver and His ultimate gift of love. (Isaiah 9:6) “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.†As long as you have Him in your heart you can...

SAY "MERRY CHRISTMAS" EVERY DAY! For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Are you getting your heart and home ready to celebrate your Lord’s birthday? Let me suggest you start reading in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John the different Christmas stories about the details of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, if you are a parent or grandparent, start reading the different sections in the Bible throughout the month so your children of all ages can truly understand the true meaning of Christmas to everyone. Since this is the beginning of December I would like to challenge you to do...

STRESSED OUT? - SEEK GOD'S PERFECT PEACE! You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 26:3-4 As you start the month of December you may have already started decorating your home, baking special cookies or you may be climbing a ladder after you offered to put up the Christmas lights at your home for your wife. If you have children, you may have many extra events to attend this month. Are you getting stressed out as you think of all you must do before Christmas? This is a month where you need to talk to the Lord throughout each day asking Him to help set your priorities. He only can give you peace in your busy...

This is more information on how important our job is as parents! Enjoy! Theresa aka Scroggymommy5 TOPIC: GOD’S HERITAGE March 27, 2013 Pastor John Church & Society, 2 TEXT: Psalm 127: 3-5 3. Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. 4. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. 5. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. NIV WHO IS GOD? God is the creator and preserver of the universe who does not live in the house built by man, but oversees the entire universe WHO ARE GOD’S POSSESSION?

This is an actual blog that I recently discovered and was truly inspired by! I pray that it touches you deeply as it has mine. I pray for " My Five World Changers" daily, as I'm sure you pray for your children. Enjoy! Theresa aka Scroggymommy5 Sunday, September 26, 2010 Children are an Heritage of the Lord This was the essay that I wrote to help celebrate family on a friend's blog. Most of you have already read this, but for the few of you that haven't here you go.... When I first was asked to write an essay to help celebrate this great month my thoughts immediately went to the scripture that is quoted in the Proclamation which reads, "Children are an heritage of the Lord." (Ps 127:3) As I continued to ponder about this assignment I...

I remember being a very young slim christian girl at church. Fellowship was embraced no matter what your status in life. Everyone was excited about living the bible, it was like we were living in the book of Acts. People were encouraged to give to those in need by the pastor. He was not yet 30 years old himself. People would come in & while we were hugging each other after worship one or two members would press some bills in their hands quietly & walk away. I had that happen to me a few times. When I started to work I did it myself. We worshiped for hours & did not feel the time go. Every service was full through the week. Then, alas, there was a change not for the better. The miracles of healing ceased & people began to die when the...

I AM THE WAY Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 [NIV] As we enter the start of the 2013 Christmas season and the events that surround the birthday celebration of our Lord and Savior, our attention is drawn to the baby Jesus. Few realized that those events some 2000 years ago in a small village in Judea would change face of the world forever. Jesus, born to a virgin teenage woman but fathered by the Holy Spirit, was both fully man and fully God. Into our sinful world, Jesus was born as an innocent baby, who in time grew into manhood. Fully man and fully God, He lived a sinless life. Yet, He died a sinner’s death on a Roman cross at the age of 33. During...

YES, LORD, YES "But I gave them this command: Obey me and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you." Jeremiah 7:23 This Lord's Day may you and I pray that thousands of prodigal husbands, wives and children of all ages will have their own personal Damascus Road experience today. That they will be obedient to the Lord's will in their life. You must be obedient to the Lord as you pray for your own spouse's obedience to the Lord. Are you doing what the Lord is speaking to your heart? I pray that the simple song below, which was one of Bob's favorites, may become the song for you in your life of obedience and standing: YES, LORD, YES Chorus: I'll say yes, Lord, yes To...

Today, I wanted to take some photos of ducks, but the river was empty. Eventually I turned around and started to walk back by the side of river a little unhappy that there were no ducks. So I prayed god to help me to to find some ducks to take picture of. Within minute I saw elder feeding ducks, about 20 of them gathered. I started to walk slowly towards ducks, and by the time I reached there the elder had finished feeding the ducks and walked away leaving me space to privately take photos of ducks. I thank You Lord Jesus for answering to my prayer. It was wonderful experience to see that nothing is too little to ask from God. Lord Jesus, I pray You to be kind to that elder for he has heart to feed ducks generously. Hallelujah. Amen.

HURTING AFTER THANKSGIVING Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14 How are you feeling now that Thanksgiving is over? Are you hurting? Are you angry or mad that your spouse never called you or even talked to your children on Thanksgiving? Were you alone this Thanksgiving and your spouse had your children? We are hearing praise reports of prodigal spouses being together with their family for Thanksgiving, but we also are hearing about the many standers who never heard from their spouse at all. Are you ready to forgive your spouse one more time? Yes, you may have had a very lonely, devastating Thanksgiving, but have you taken captive the negative thoughts the Enemy is constantly trying to tell you? Satan...
