Our Bundle of Joy
Our Bundle Of Joy
When babies are born they cry at birth. I always have heard that babies were spanked
at birth because it cleared out the air passage to the lungs. Babies cry normally for food or any discomfort,
but laughter is something that comes later, at least it did with Anna. Anna is my 5 1/2-month-old granddaughter.
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.

Just A Thought I'm Pondering
I went to the zoo with my family and a very
interesting thing happened.
interesting thing happened.
A little tiny four or five year old girl that I have never met
looked up at me and said "whoremonger."
looked up at me and said "whoremonger."
I'm guessing she was repeating her parents.
It wasn't hello or something friendly, just "whoremonger".
It's a shame that little children are being taught to be
mean to people. She probably didn't even know
what she was saying but it was shocking and left an
imprint in my mind and heart. The bible does say
whoremongers but I'm not sure that should be a
word that should be taught to little
children to say directly to someone.
Besides if for some reason the child thought I was a
whoremonger, why would she?

The New Things God Created
The bible doesn't say
that there will be any new animals or plants created by God. We do know however, if He wanted to he
could. There are a couple instances in
scripture that God promises new things under unusual circumstances. They
were miracles that involved temporary atmospheric change not known to man. Most of the time it was where circumstances
and prayer meet, but sometimes it is the circumstance of sin.
Before the curse of
sin entered the world it was perfect , but after the fall of man the earth
brought forth poisonous plants, and
thorns. Earth brought forth biting bugs
and destructive larvae. What once was harmless
in the perfect world became harmful in a sinful world. Death was daily in some form.
One of the first atmospheric changes was the
first time it rained upon the earth. God's
heart was grieved because the whole earth turned away from Him and chose even
the vilest of sins to rule their hearts.
People's imaginations were evil continually. God knows the heart of each person and He
knew their hearts. God took note of one
person and His family, Noah and His family.
Noah was a man of faith and pleased God with his life. God told Noah to build an ark, and to warn
every person of a coming disaster that would befall the known world. They didn't believe Noah, but laughed at Him
and mocked him. One hundred years He
preached to a rebellious people, that hated God in their actions. They had never seen rain before. God destroyed all of the world with a flood
that killed every living person upon the earth except eight people. All creatures died except two of
each kind of creature and animals for sacrifices.
God created
a new thing, a rainbow , the rainbow is a symbol of His promise never
to destroy the world again with a flood.
The rainbow belongs to God and He gets full credit for it. The name rainbow originated from God, it is a proven fact that it belongs to
God. All the rights belong to Him. God, meaning our great creator, who created
the heaven and the earth. created the rainbow.
The rainbow was introduced to Noah and his family while they were
praying and giving thanks with sacrifices for their sins unto God.
God always
keeps His promises, He never lies, He cannot lie because He is perfect. He doesn't want us to lie either. Even a little white lie, as some call it, is
a sin to God. It only takes one sin to
need a Saviour. Our Saviour is Christ
Jesus who gave His life for our sins.
Forgiveness is available to all who believe and trust Christ for
salvation.
God promises if we turn to Him, trust Him for salvation
and give our lives to Him. He will give
us a new heart.
Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart
also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take
away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
The heart that God is talking about here is not
our beating heart physically, but the center of everything we are and how we
think. It will be changed and we will become
a new person in Christ. God opens our
hearts to the truth of His Word. God
desires that all people be saved from the punishment of eternal hell. He offers the gift of eternal life to all who
will accept Christ by faith. Christ then comes into our heart and abides with us day to day. We can pray directly to God through Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be
in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things
are become new.
For years and years the Christian faith has used
the butterfly as a symbol of becoming a new creature in Christ. God is the author and maker of the
butterfly. It was one of the creatures
on Noah's Ark. The butterfly is the most
beautiful insect of God's creation. God
gets full credit for the butterfly and owns all the rights. He is the original author.
God causes a change within us when we believe, we
become children of God. We are adopted
into the family of God.
Romans
10:9 That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
In the old testament God makes a new thing as a judgment
to those who provoke him. There's a few
times the Bible speaks of the earth swallowing up people who provoke Him.
Numbers 16:30
But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth
open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and
they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have
provoked the LORD.
The bible teaches us to fear the Lord. Wisdom will lead us to fear Him and love
Him. God speaks of hell more than He
does about heaven. We all have a soul that lives forever and after we die we will go one of two places heaven or hell. Our soul will leave our body and we will wake up in one of those places. If we are truly children of God through Christ. We will wake up in the presence of our God. If we have rejected Christ and His way of salvation we will wake up in eternal fire and suffering.
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning
of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his
praise endureth for ever.
Young People,
God's desire for you is to know Him and trust
Him. We are all sinners, we have all
fallen short. It is by God's love and
mercy that we may find forgiveness for our souls.
God doesn't want anyone to go to hell, He's not willing that any perish
into eternal damnation. People have a
choice to accept or reject Christ. God
leaves that up to you. Choose you this
day whom ye shall serve. God has chosen
to give you His Word. Faith cometh by hearing the Word of God. Pray today to God and ask Him to help you
understand His Word and He will help you to understand. He knows if you really want to know.
Father God,
I pray that you will open the eyes of those listening today, that they
will understand your
Word. I
pray that they would grow in wisdom today by realizing that there are
circumstances for the choices we make in life.
Thank -you Lord for your mercy upon us.
Keep us from evil and direct our paths.
In Christ Name I Pray This, Amen

Genesis 9:11-15
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
