God cannot give us a happiness & peace apart from Himself because it is not there.

Taste and see

I apologize, my internet is not letting me upload pictures or do much these days.

Please check out the Internet Cafe Devo’s for them today!

I also apologize for not posting much Christmas things ~ I guess this year I forgot.  I forgot that the world deems Christmas different than I do.  Christmas is no longer my favorite holiday – Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, I love the time of the year – the Christmas cards and the warm wishes – the hot chocolate and the snow — and “baby Jesus”.  I do however find myself wishing to keep the Christmas cheer ALL year round instead of just one season.  My life revolves around Christ so making a “big thing” out of something so commercialized lot it’s flavor a while ago.  I love the spirit of Christmas (if you can even find it between the shopping craze rampages and glitter – oh and don’t let me forget the 100 bags of carmel corn I made and another 100 cupcakes coming tonight unless I can figure out an alternative!).  I struggle with it – I want my children to love Christmas and yet between the concerts and everything else the schools and the churches put together I feel we get buried in it rather than simple adore the anniversary of our Saviour.  I pray this season – no matter what you are doing that you take time and will simply adore the Lord and dedicate your Christmas to Him with your family – make it a sacred and worthy worship time for your family.

God Bless!And see you in the New Year!

affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

WFW ~ Faith

Photobucket

Hebrews 11:1

I love the way the NIV words this verse ~ it just really brings to light how much we need faith.

This is probably somewhat of an oxymoron, but follow me for a moment if you will.  If you look closely at this picture you can see all the deer prancing in the field ~ There was at least a dozen or so around at the time.   Driving this dirt road I am familar with where the deer like to be and am cautiously checking the ditches when I drive ~ But 1). That skill took me many years to learn  how to be careful watch for and not  “hit” the deer when we’re driving at dusk around here as they blend perfectly into the surroundings and 2.) the average person can not and does not notice these things – I laugh as I write this thinking of the international student who is currently staying with us and how she yells “wow” when I point a coyote, deer, skunk, fox or other animal in the field ~ she doesn’t see any of them – she is unpracticed.

This reminds me so much of faith and the verse I choose above- Faith is a lot like that ~ we can’t always see how God is working around us BUT when we concentrate we know HE is here and is actively working in our lives.   I think if we are careful and keep our eyes wide open we adjust our sight (like you need to when you live in the country or say night drive) and see these “unseen” creatures we become more aware and realize just how much we’ve missed – just like we would miss if we don’t rely on Christ.

Okay, not sure if I’ve made sense, but hope I have!

Peace!

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable?
