These Things Bring Us True Joy

Growing In Faith - A Guide #3
Growing In Faith - A Guide
The bible
teaches us that without faith it is impossible to please God. Without faith, it
is impossible to be saved. Without faith, it’s impossible to have your prayer answered.
Without faith, there are no righteous miracles. God says if we do not have faith not to expect
anything from him.
It is
through faith that we grow by obedience, faith will cause you to obey because
you truly have faith in what the bible teaches.
Rebellion to God’s word and to what God wants us to do has shown that
you have chosen not to believe God.
If we truly believe
something we act upon it. If you believe
you believe something is going to hit you in the head, you will move out of its
way. Your moving is evidence that you
believe. If you believe what God says
then there will be evidence of that belief.
Romans 10: 10
[10] For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
When
you truly believe you will have righteous actions that come along with that
belief.
God
teaches us that just a little faith can cause great things to happen.
Luke
11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For
us to live of faith we must first accept Christ into our heart and life by
faith. By faith you will seek, you will knock
and you will ask. Once you have trusted
Christ, Christ lives within you and will help guide you in every choice you make.
Sometimes
it will be hard to do what’s right and by faith, you will do what God wants you
to do and God will get you through.
Life
is not easy and your faith will be tried and because you have the comforter,
you can communicate to God your struggle, your grief, and any doubt that you
may have. By faith, you will stay
faithful to him through both good and bad.
Good and bad have happened to every person, but a person of faith will continue
to trust God and obey him, through it all.
You grow by continuing by faith, to learn of God, to obey God, to praise
God, and to depend on God.
By
faith resist what is wrong and cling to our God our King. Do not go back to the slavery of Egypt. You are his child and you will never have
peace in your sin. Egypt is a picture
of sin, slavery, and hell. God has no
pleasure in those who turn back in their unbelief. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom. If you have already turned in
the wrong direction run back to God and repent. It may feel he’s far away, but
he has never left you. You left
him. By faith, return to God and he will
hold you to his heart. Just as a mother
or father forgives their little one.
Faith brings actions of faith; it is through or successes and our
failures that we grow in faith. God
shows us mercy as we believe and trust him.
I’m still learning every day. Our problems change and through each problem, there is a new learning time. Continue
trusting God and obeying him. Confess
your doubts, your fears, and keep your hand in the hand of God. Just as a small child wants to go off on his
own, is in danger, so are we when we let go of God the Father’s hand to go do
whatever we will. God will chasten us because we belong to him.
We need to fear him and turn back to him.
God says in…..
Revelations
3:19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.
Read
your bible, grow in the truth and knowledge of the Lord. Stay close to your church family, go to
church, continue in prayer and resist the devil. Confess your sin on a daily basis, pray for
each other. We are all in a spiritual
battle. There is an old song that says, “Keep
your hand in the hand of the man that calms the sea.” If you continue by faith in the things of
God, you will know peace and you will know joy.

Fall Dog Coloring Page - Joy Unspeakable
Willaby's Loved Too
Willaby was a big pouncy dog with a long-wet dripping tongue that hung about five
inches long. Mom told me to keep him out
of the formal living room where all her valuable gifts from dad were. My dad had died but my mother kept everything
he ever gave her.
Willaby was my best friend. He made my life an
adventure. He would let me dress him up
as a pirate. He would let me dress him
up as a clown. He let me ride on his
back like a horse. He was everywhere I
was. We could communicate with each
other; we knew each other so well. He
couldn’t talk people talk but I could still understand him.
One
day my mom needed to take a trip to the store.
I was doing my homework and my older sister was nearby if I needed any
help. Willaby laid down right beside me
and would look up at me with those big, let’s play, eyes. “Not right now Willaby, I said. I have to get my math done, just a few more
problems.”
Willaby was normally a very well-behaved dog, but he was restless and started running
around the house. “What’s wrong Willaby?” He was wining and biting at his tale. He took off fast from room to room as though
he was running from something. My sister
Teresa, shocked, asked, What’s wrong with Willaby?” He’s lost his mind.” Then it happened, a nightmare, He ran into
the formal living room and broke one of my mother’s most loved dolls. Then he broke a vase that my great grandmother
gave my mother when Dad and Mom got married.
My sister started bawling, “Moms going to be so upset! Dumb Dog!” She knelt down to pick up all the broken
pieces. “This was the one dad got her on
their twenty-third wedding anniversary.”
“I miss him so much!” She
wept. I do too, sis, how are we going to
tell mom?”
I
don’t know my sister sobbed”. I was
crying too and I really did not want to tell mom.
I ran
to my room and found an empty shoebox.
We gathered all the broken pieces and put them in the box. We sat it on the counter, In our
kitchen. “Now what?’ I asked.
My sister said, “Let’s pray.” “I’m afraid to tell mom.” “I know,” I said, she just got back to
normal.” So, we prayed and just sat
there with our tears flowing down our cheeks waiting for mom to walk in the
door.
We
could hear the car pull into the garage.
We could hear our mothers’ keys at the door. I ran to the door to help her with the groceries.
Teresa and Willaby both were there too and
Willaby licked her right on the face. “Hi
Guys, “ “ Thanks for the kiss Willaby, she said as she patted him on the head
and wiped the wetness from her
face. “How are all my sweethearts today?”
She asked with a smile.
“We
feel sad mom,” I said. “What’s wrong? Are you Okay? Did something
happen?”. “ It’s kind of hard to tell
you mom.” said my sister Teresa. “You
tell her Tom.” My sister whispered. “Mom, I’m just going to say it. Willaby was going crazy and ran all over the
house and charged into the formal living room.
He clumsily knocked over your things and they are broken now. “Oh no!” but are you okay and Willaby is he
okay?" “They were the things that dad and
grandma gave you mom.” "We are fine Mom.” "We are concerned about you." She opened the box and looked in at her broken
treasures.
My
mom started weeping and said something I will never forget. She was holding the box in her hand and said, “ Nothing, in this world is as precious to me as you both and Willaby. I know these gifts were from people I love. It’s been a while ago since your dad died. I can’t take any of these things to heaven
with me. Heaven is forever. I have
discovered what is more important in life.
You are and I love you more than anything I own. Even Willaby is more important to me than
anything I have.
I
just want to be sure that when this life is done for me. It would be to know it won’t mean goodbye.
It’s
not a goodbye for me and your dad. I will
see him again and we will hug and hold hands.
I will talk to him again and enjoy his smile. I want you both to know Jesus. Teresa, I want you to get saved.
I
would give up all the precious gifts I have, to know that you know Jesus and
love him. I may live many more years yet
but I want to know when I do that it’s not goodbye. Praise God, I will see your dad again, will
you.? I love you and I have the joy of
Jesus even though I miss your dad. God’s
joy for us is unspeakable in that we can know his presence through our tears. Psalms 30:5
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. We have a joy that can only can be found in Jesus
and our relationship with him. Trusting
him through our sorrows and also through our laughter.
You and Christ are the most important things to me.
"We love you, mom! forever." "I love you too. mom hugged us" We love you too Willoby! Rough! Rough! "Let’s go play in the leaves!" Mom squealed. "Yes!"" Willaby will love that!" My sister cheered.
"Me too!" and Willably was a very happy dog.

Dedicated to a precious friend in heaven today. I know I'll see you again.
I will give you a hug. Love you always.

Learning
To Tithe and to Give Offerings
Object Lesson
Malachi 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even
this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there
may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts,
if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Give Each Child A Dollar:
Collect change, enough to give each child 3 quarters, 2
dimes and a nickel.
Tell each child that you’re going to give them $1.00 each.
Give the children a clear sandwich bag and a paper slip with
the word YOU on it
Help the kids tape the word YOU onto the bag.
Help the kids put their change into the bags, one dollar for
each child.
When you are given or paid a dollar give God 10%. Jesus
When you are given or paid a dollar consider others. Others
Then keep the rest to save for what you need or want. Yourself
Make A Class Offering Plate:
Prepare
an offering box or plate for the tithe – Make a tag and write the word JESUS onto
it.

Our Bundle of Joy
Anna started laughing in her sleep around 3 1/2 months old. My daughter told me she could hear her laugh in the middle of the night in her sleep. This happened a few times until the day I was in the middle of changing her clothes. I was taking her little shirt off and my fingers were under her arm while I was trying to take her arm out of her sleeve. She started laughing and even surprised herself. I had discovered Anna is ticklish under the arms and also under her chin. The day that Anna learned to smile and laugh has brought laughter and smiles to every gathering of our church and family since. When Anna smiles the whole room starts smiling. When Anna was born she looked so grumpy, and other people noticed she looked grumpy but she had not learned how to smile yet. Just because she looked grumpy didn't mean she was. It amazes me how a new baby can bring so much joy. I'm sure that's why we call new babies a "bundle of joy".
Something Anna has learned, as young as she is, is to be gentle. She's learned how to reach her hands to my face. Anna has reached both hands to my face and looked into my eyes, cooing. It was definitely a way to say " I love you." Last night I was so surprised by her. She had bit down too hard on her teething ring and I rocked her and I let her know I felt bad for her. I comforted her and she settled down. Afterward, she put her right hand to my cheek, looked into my eyes, and talked away in baby language. I can hardly describe the feeling of joy I felt when my grandbaby started talking to me with love in her eyes. The look in her eyes brought me joy. She is so sweet and seems especially smart to be able to express herself that way already. I just do not remember my grown children expressing themselves the same way when they were infants.
When a new baby comes along everybody starts acting like children, Even grandpa. Everybody makes funny voices and sounds. The whole family joins in bouncing the baby. smiling with the baby, talking like a baby, and helping with the baby. I have always heard there's no feeling so wonderful than to be a grandparent and I believe that to be true. There is no doubt about it, Anna has been and is a bundle of joy.
