Wishing you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!  

I know some of you are suffering with health problems, some of you have family issues, some money problems, some might simply be sad or lonely.  Often this time of year just magnifies our trials, and it's hard to feel the joy of the season.  But if you do anything at all today, spend some time thanking God for sending His Son to save us. Because if He hadn't our problems would be much worse and there would be no hope.

One thing that always blesses me is this truth:
For the Christian, our struggles here on earth are the worse things will ever get for us.
For the unbeliever, their struggles here on earth are the best things will ever get for them. 

This life is but a breath, and we are on our way home!  Thank you, Jesus!

  6. Merry Christmas to you too! And as for us Christians... With the help from the Holy Spirit and the peace that He gives us during our trials, and knowing that everything will turn out alright in the end, our trials are really not that bad in America. To this day, I've known a lot of pain... But I would say the worst I've felt was losing a loved one and not knowing where they were to spend eternity. I will say this... I ball my eyes out every time I read the end of The Redemption. Though my relation is more to the situation of Miss Juliana Dutton.

    1. Jozie, I too, have loved ones who don't know the Lord. That's the worst thing ever. I'm sorry you have to endure that as well. God is so faithfull !! What would we do without Him? Merry Christmas!
