Look and See
In the book of St John 1:11-12, it says.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
When we believe in Christ as our Saviour, God gives us power to become his child.
We are not his child until we believe and trust upon Christ for salvation.
If Jesus was not born we would not of had power to become God's Child.
God chose adoption and we are adopted as sons and daughters.
Joseph is an example of God. He accepted Jesus as his earthly son. Joseph loved him as his own and watched over him also as his Saviour. Go so loved and Joseph so loved.
Look
and See
Look and see, this joyous day, the Infant
Christ is here.
The
angel’s voices could be heard from the gates of pearly white.
Look and
see, in Mother’s arms, the promised child from God.
Glory
Halleluiah Christ was born upon this bless-ed night.
Oh, Glory
Halleluiah Christ is born, let us rejoice, Christ is born.
The
promised child was given, the promised child from heaven.
The
Messiah is here! The Messiah is here
and our
hearts are filled with joy!
Hello,
nice to meet you, we are shepherds from the field.
With
gladness, we are here this night to see God’s promise fulfilled.
Thank
you, God, for sending us this perfect baby boy.
A gift
of love, A gift of peace, a gift of hope, and great joy.
Oh, Glory
Halleluiah Christ is born, let us rejoice, Christ is born.
The
promised child was given, the promised child from heaven.
The
Messiah is here! The Messiah is here
and our
hearts are filled with joy!
I am
Joseph the protector of our newborn King.
God has
chosen me for this family, for this miracle
This is
Jesus, light of my life, Saviour of my soul.
I am his
earthly father and I know; that I love him so.
Oh, Glory
Halleluiah Christ is born, let us rejoice, Christ is born.
The
promised child was given, the promised child from heaven.

Christmas Song or Dramatic Reading
December
10, 2022©
I read this as a dramatic reading this morning in church.
Read with a lot of feeling and emotion.
Luke 2:7-11
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

As The Sun Comes Shining Through
Malachi 1:11 (Prophecy Of Jesus As A Pure Sacrifice)
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
As The Sun Shines Through
The last time I talked about sunflowers I told you how the sunflowers face the arising sun. This time I want to talk about the reflection of the light from behind the sunflower as the sun is setting. It's a most beautiful scene to see a field of sunflowers as the sun is setting in the distance. We can enjoy seeing the sunflowers as the reflection shines from the back of its pedals.
I am reminded that each setting of the sun is a reminder that Christ died and every arising of the sun is a reminder that Christ arose from the dead. All nature speaks of Christ and is a revelation of His majesty and power. I believe God gave us nature to enjoy and to love, but not to worship. Nature is another reason to praise Him, another way for us to explain to others how loving God is and how He operates in our lives. Every living thing, every moving power of nature and every rock formed all point back to God our creator.
One of the things God expresses to us in scripture is to let our light shine. He's talking about the light that He shines through us while we are trusting and living for Him. We cannot shine the light that Christ is talking about until we have trusted in the death of Christ for us and also in His resurrection. As I think about the setting and the arising of the sun, I think of the beautiful field full of sunflowers lit up by the light of the sun.
There are times in life as Christians we can feel alone even when there are many other Christians around us. There is one that we can always count on, one love we can always count on in life and in death. See Christ can light up our lives even when the world seems so dark around us. He can shine through us in our darkest moments. Sometimes our darkest moment is the very moment another sees the light shining from us the most.
I think of Steven at his stoning, his darkest moment. He never shined brighter than that
moment He cried out to God for those stoning him. He never shined brighter than the moments his eyes looked up to heaven right before he died. The Spirit of Christ shined from His life and also at his death.
The Bible teaches us, that those without Christ are living in darkness and their eyes are blinded. Once we know Christ, He comes into our hearts and lives and the light of Christ begins to shine from our lives as we follow Him. As we look to the light of His Word, seek the light of truth, and live in the light of His Word, Then His light reflects from us into a dark world. Just as the light reflects across the horizon as night falls and lights up a sunflower field.
Hopefully, God will open your eyes this very day to the light He is shining for you. God's desire is for you to come to the light. The light is this, Christ died for sinners like you and myself. We didn't deserve it, nor could we ever repay it, it is a gift from heaven above, given in His sweet, sweet, love for all mankind. He arose and now we know, He can bring light to our own hearts as we believe upon Him, as we trust Him as our Saviour, as the one who paid what we could not pay, the debt for our sin.
Let us look to the light as we seek Him each day and as we bow our heads each night to pray. That other people may see us shining in this dark, dark world and follow our Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. That they may find life in His marvelous light and be pulled from the powers of the unrighteous night.
Won't you trust Him today?

Scarecrows - Rebuilding and Restoring
The photo above is a picture of our flower gardens over 10 years ago.
Rebuilding And Restoring
Talk about withering storms. Poor little fellas, year after year I have
put them outside and by the time I bring them in .. . they are literally losing
their straw heads. Not only are they
losing heads they are losing straw arms.
Every year I put them away and then pull them out again, they have been
faithful but they have been through a lot. Not only did they need to be rebuilt, but this is
the first year I had to include a makeover for each one. They were just plain faded and needed hair
transplants.
If you haven't guessed yet, They are the scarecrows
I put out in my gardens every year. I
guess I could have bought new ones.. but no, thrifty I must be. So I pulled out the glue gun, the wire, extra
raffia, the paint, the buttons, and orange
sparkles and started rebuilding. I was able to get two done so far.
I gave them special care though they will never be
perfect, two of them are standing outside, with sparkly cheeks. Ready for all kinds of weather and ready to
do their job scaring off crows. All the
while making the season a brighter place.
I decided to use these straw-trimmed scarecrows to talk about the storms we go through in life.
The times that our faith is tried and our joy lost.
The storms of life, like our problems, or
hardship. Sometimes they can leave us
feeling broken and in some cases not just feeling broken, but literally broken mentally
and spiritually. It seems when a person
goes through his hardest blows in life, is when friends tend to forsake him,
thinking, " You're not as strong as I thought you were." Then one day, sad to say, their storms blow
and they find out they weren't that strong either, none of us have arrived spiritually. We are always learning about God and about ourselves
through both good and bad.
I think of John the Baptist, after a lifelong
faithfulness, finding himself in prison questioning if Jesus was who He said He was. He was questioning his whole life's work. Before his beheading, Christ sent messengers
to assure him He was the Christ.
John was martyred for the cause of Christ. Know for sure, that John met God on that day and was given a crown. He was instantly whole and joyful in the presence of God in heaven's bright land. The Bible describes John the Baptist as the
greatest man who was born of women.
Luke 7:28a
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of
women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: (KJV)
Now our hardships may not be the kind that John
had to go through, because life brings different people, through different problems.
Life always has difficulties that we must wither and we have choices
through those difficulties. The biggest
way to overcome this is to believe God and trust
in His grace. Let him rebuild our broken hearts as we trust him through our
storm.
God uses people in different places in life. He has made us, especially for the place He
wants us to be.
The place that God wants us to be, is the place where we can shine the brightest. Some problems we face are simply because we
are out of God's will. God sometimes
will direct us back to where we need to be by presenting us with difficulties.
(chastisement) The Bible teaches us that
life WILL have problems ... Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks
fly upward.
Some problems are not because of chastisement but
have a purpose far greater than we may ever know. All the biblical prophets went through problems that God has used to
teach us some of life's greatest spiritual lessons. The examples are too many to
mention all. Job comes to mind as one
of the greatest examples of undeserved suffering. If you read to the end you'll find God restores and rebuilds Job's life.
Sometimes our problems are designed to get us ready
for what God has for us next. God will
sometimes strengthen us for greater responsibility. The problems are there in order to change us
for a greater purpose.
The most important thing to remember through life's
storms is to remember Jesus calms the storms, rebuilds, and restores them.
Praising him and trusting him as Paul and Silas did in the prison house. God was so moved by the praise that He broke
down the prison walls.
Act 16:25
And at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners
heard them.
The Bible is full of problems overcome by
Christians who remained faithful and
joyful in the things of the Lord. No
matter what if we are His children heaven awaits us and everlasting joy is our
inheritance.
Father, help us to trust you and stay faithful
through life's difficulties. Put a song
in our hearts and praise upon our lips. Let
your presence shine through our lives even through life's tears and sorrows.
Use our lives to touch others in a way that will
make a true difference for righteousness' sake and the cause of Christ.. I pray
this in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen
I still have several scarecrows to rebuild and I'm
planning where to place each one.
Hopefully,
these guys will remind us that life gives us
problems, but we have a God who is molding our hearts and lives as we love and
trust him. He has a purpose that we may never know until we set by his side in
heavenly places.

Hands Should Please God
Hands Should Please God
(Acrostic)
Hands say allot about someone, by what they do each day.
Are they serving righteousness in the choices that are made?
Not using them to hurt or steal, to undermine God's will.
Do they serve others with God's love and motives that are real?
Sincerity often is seen in what our hands are used to do.
Some showing acts of kindness or signing "I Love You".
Hands can be used to comfort, wiping away someones tear.
Or be slammed to a table causing confusion or fear.
Unruly they can be when anger rules within the heart.
Loud in their doings, guided by someone not thinking smart.
Digging deep the ditches of sin, living the devil's part.
Loud in their doings, guided by someone not thinking smart.
Digging deep the ditches of sin, living the devil's part.
People are given hands to serve the Lord, to build, to bless.
Loving with gentleness, encourage with thoughtfulness.
Ease the pain of others by aiding them in a time of need.
Always ready to be extended, not moved by greed.
Somehow hands seem to speak without saying one single word;
Emotions, seem to be noticed and our hands can be heard.
Good works are often something hands can do so naturally.
Only if done for the Lord, will live eternally.
Do with hands the work of love, with joy and faithful be.
Because hands were made to serve the Lord
with love and dignity.

Jesus Help Me
Lamentations 3:21-26
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

We Need Your Blessing
The Storehouse Is The Church
Malachi 3:10
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.
Prepare your hearts to receive a blessing. Give to God without complaint.
God wants us to be cheerful about giving to him. He promises to open the windows of heaven.
Be a faithful giver to God and then God will be faithful in giving to you. This is a promise to God's children.
I have corrected something on this poster
Prepare your hearts to receive a blessing. Give to God without complaint.
God wants us to be cheerful about giving to him. He promises to open the windows of heaven.
Be a faithful giver to God and then God will be faithful in giving to you. This is a promise to God's children. You want to love him more..? Love him in your giving to him.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.
