New Year New Plans

New Year’s Resolutions

Welcome 2019, and welcome to all of you who have found this blog!

Do you have any special plans or resolutions?

I’m guessing a “new diet” is in there somewhere.

Trust me, I completely understand.

Christmas cookies

Colorful Christmas cookies and homemade pies are “oh so tempting” around the holidays, and very hard to resist.

So, I didn’t!

Starting The New Year Off Right

Bible reading plans

From a Christian perspective, the new year is just the encouragement you need to you to start a new Bible reading plan.

There are so many good ones out there, like this one.

If you’d like another option for a reading plan, I wanted to share this additional resource with you that you may not have seen yet.

If you click here, it will take you to Bible Gateway. At the top, click on the word “Study.” There you will find a series of reading plans to choose from.

Even further, you can also sign up for their devotionals. I found two great ones that I enjoy reading though every day. They are so encouraging!!

New Year, New Plans

There are countless searches online asking the question, “Why should I read the Bible?”

If you haven’t taken the time to read through Scripture, please consider this.

The year 2019 starts a new chapter in your life,

and a renewed time to delight in God.

Why not start the new year off right by reading daily the inspired Word from Almighty God – the One Who created you out of nothing?

No doubt, this new year will bring its share of challenges, as well as victories.

Are you ready?

“The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength.” – Warren Wiersbe, International Bible teacher and author.

Merry Christmas 2018

Merry Christmas 2018

Merry Christmas 2018 everyone!

All glory to God in the Highest

Jesus Christ is born!

Can you imagine what that blessed day was like?

As Luke tells us, an angel from God appeared to the shepherds in the field and proclaimed to them the Good News of the birth of our Savior.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2:11-14, (ESV).

Heaven was celebrating!

This Christmas, may we never forget the miracle of Jesus’ birth.

God’s blessings to you and yours!

When Love Was Born

Celebrating The Birth Of Jesus

When love was born

“When Love Was Born”

Don’t you love that description of the birth of our Savior?

When Love Was Born …

It’s also the name of a beautiful song written by Mark Schultz.

If you love Christmas music, please take a moment to listen to Mark’s song performed by One Voice Children’s Choir.

It is spectacular, and just wait til you see “where” they performed it.

I close my eyes during this song, and it gives me goosebumps every time.

God sent us the gift of the Savior, His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah!

In the busyness of the holiday season, may we never forget the real reason for the season.

God bless you!

Shining The Light You Have Within

The Light You Have Within

Do you love Christmas music?

We sure do at our house.

It’s always a treat to bring out our Christmas CDs, and listen to our favorite carols and songs.

Christmas flash mobs are also fun. YouTube has a bunch you can enjoy if you’re interested.

Not sure where to start?

Please allow me to help.

I saw this one and had to share.

This Christmas video features the timeless classic, “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

Meet The Five Strings and their delightful flash mob.

Shining The Light You Have Within

Pure Joy

I am sitting here moved to tears every time I watch this video.

Did you catch that little saying at the beginning before they sing?

“You’ll never know how much light you have within, until you try to shine it for others.”

May the light of Christ shine through you to reach the world.

He loves you so!
