A STORY OF TWO BOYS

It has been said that a simple smile can change a person’s life. It has been said that a single kind word can spread throughout the whole world and change history. I was thinking of these sayings recently when I remembered a story I had once heard about two boys.
Both of these boys were born in the late eighteen hundreds. The first boy was the son of a poor cobbler and had contracted smallpox as a child. This left his face scarred and caused him to face teasing from the other boys. He sought solace by dreaming of a career in the church. His first job was as an altar boy but he was sharply criticized by the priest when he made a mistake during a service. This boy later abandoned the seminary as a young adult. The second boy was sickly as a child too contracting tuberculosis as a baby. He also felt drawn to a career in the church. He too had his first experience in church as an altar boy. And he as well made several mistakes once during a service. The difference was he was forgiven and encouraged to keep trying by the kindhearted priest there.
The first of these boys grew up to become Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union, who slaughtered untold millions of his own people to maintain his power and control over his country.
The second boy grew up to become Bishop Fulton J. Sheen who touched millions of lives and brought joy to millions of hearts by sharing God’s message through his television show "Life is Worth Living" in the nineteen fifties.
This story reminded me of how much power God gives us to change lives in this world. Every smile we share is important. Every kind word we speak is essential. Every loving act we do can encircle this entire world. May we always use this power wisely. May we always give every little boy or girl the same love our Heavenly Father gives us.

WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND EVERY BLESSING FOR THE NEW YEAR

The Lord wants to reveal His mercy, His compassion and loving-kindness and I sense He wants to sing a love song over His people. I pray you will be comforted by these words, even as you share them with others.

For those of you who feel abandoned, who feel the Lord has forsaken you, has left you, for those that don’t understand the things that have been happening in their lives... maybe you are there and you feel that you can’t even make it through the day... know that His goodness and His Mercy will never leave you.
Oh how He loves you this day and, like a daddy, He would sing to His child. Like a daddy He would sing over you, the King’s Lullaby and draw you close. You may not have understood anything that has been going on, you have loved Him, served Him and yet you haven’t understood what has been happening in your life. He would draw you, draw you to Himself and kiss you from the Father’s throne.
"Oh My child, I would draw you tight, don’t let the devil lie about My goodness, about My loving-kindness. I am the One who will never forsake you, I am the One who will always be with you. I am the One who is closer than a brother, I am the One who loves you more than any lover."

The Father has not forsaken you, beloved. Jesus has not forgotten you. The Father brought His Son into the world that you might have eternal life. Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and He knows the very number of hairs on your head. But, Jesus did not only come to secure your eternity, but that you might also overcome in this life. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith and what He has begun in us He will take through to completion.
(Hebrews 12:2)
And, always, remember the devil always attacks you the most just before your greatest victory, that the time you are hit the worst is JUST BEFORE you come into the fullest fruit of your ministry. Great Endurance produces great favour!
WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND EVERY BLESSING FOR THE NEW YEAR

O HOLY NIGHT
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brinks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error-pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brinks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine

• “The careless soul receives the Father's gifts as if it were a way things had of dropping into his hand, yet is he ever complaining, as if someone were accountable for the checks which meet him at every turn. For the good that comes to him, he gives no thanks—who is there to thank? At the disappointments that befall him he grumbles—there must be someone to blame!” ~  ( George MacDonald )
• “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” ~ ( Paul, the Apostle: I Thessalonians 5:16-18 )
• “Praise be to you, O LORD,

           God of our father Israel,

           from everlasting to everlasting.

           Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
           and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
           for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
           Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
           you are exalted as head over all.
          Wealth and honor come from you;
           you are the ruler of all things.
           In your hands are strength and power

           Now, our God, we give you thanks,
           and praise your glorious name.”

I can choose to speak about goodness and beauty, even when my inner eye still looks for someone to accuse or something to call ugly." ~(  Henri Nouwen )
• "If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled." ~ ( Charles Haddon Spurgeon )

He Is at the Door !!!!

                                                    He Is at the Door!

                                                    
James 5:7-12
To "grudge not" is to "complain not."  We are not to groan or grumble against each other.
 In this life, where there is the tendency to be partial to others who have more than we do,
 James reminded us not to be grumbling and complaining about others.
 We are not to develop an attitude of thinking the other person always has it better than we do. 
 We must remember that the Lord can come back at any time to judge us for such attitudes.
 James said, "The judge standeth before the door" (James 5:9); in other words,
 He is ready to enter the door.
Having this concept of the soon return of Christ keeps us from being so critical of each other.

Always remember, Christ is about to enter the door, so the words you speak should be wholesome rather than negative or hurtful.  So realizing that the Lord may soon return will have a significant effect on our attitudes toward others.

We will not be so quick to criticize others when we realize the Lord is about to return to judge us for what we have said. The Lord is fully able to judge the motives of our hearts (see 1 Cor. 4:5), but we must never take that prerogative upon ourselves.

The Lord will judge not only the good and bad things we have done but also our good and bad attitudes. If you have been mistreated and have borne up under it in a way that glorifies the Lord,
 you may be assured of a reward.

 If you have been neglected by friends and by the world, the Lord will take care of that also. Let us trust Him completely to reward as He sees best because He is absolutely just and loving.
"And every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour" ( 1 Cor. 3:8 ).
