Month: December 2024

Stone’s of Remembrance! These will help us get thru the up coming year!  Below are some to consider! — When you cook a cake, the flour is the main ingredient that holds everything together! Our corner stone must be the main ingredient that will hold our life together in 2025! This is our God! Let Him be the main ingredient in our lives to hold it all together! 

Stone 2 —If we forgive others their trespasses then God will forgive us ours! 

Stone 3– Power! Our God has power, & we must remember that His power is resurrection power! He is our creator & we need to KNOW this one thing! 

Stone 4 — We must let His light shine into our dark spaces! Open up! & when we allow His love to penetrate our life, He can clean up, heal up, light up! 

Stone 5 —Josh 3:5 Consecrate yourself for tomorrow God will do amazing things! —clean up before you move into the new year! Let go of past hurt, pain, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, anger, lose.  —REMEMBER your stones! Let them prepare the way for a NEW YEAR. Love Mel

Psalm 90:12 (NIV) Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. James 4:14 You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while & then vanishes.  Col 4:5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time. Eph 5:15-16 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Eccl 12:13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God & keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man. — As this year is coming to an end, these words can help remind us of what is most important for the year to come! Fear God & keep His commands! Love Mel

Luke 1:30 (ESV)The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.  Luke 1:35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, & the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.  Luke 1:38 Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” & the angel departed from her. —Mary shows us how to trust God even when things interrupt our plans! Have you ever had a Mary moment? When things go topsy turvy are you willing to say “let it be”! This lady was to be a virgin getting married to a man, who is to accept that his bride to be was bearing the child of God! This would be very challenging! But Mary said, “let it be”! Lets be those who are willing to trust our God even in the topsy turvy moments! Merry Christmas Love Mel

Recognize/celebrate the birth of Jesus! Stop & remember that our God gave to us the greatest gift that has ever been given on this earth! So Go tell it on the Mountain “Jesus CHRIST is Born”! Telling people about JESUS, sharing what He has done for us, rendering CHRIST is worth our effort! When we are willing the Lord will be with us!! His presence will certainly change ALL things for the good! Will you stop & remember the greatest gift you have been given EVER during the holidays! I hope & pray so! Love Mel

Col 3:1-3 If then you have been raised with Christ, SEEK the things that are ABOVE, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, & your life is hidden with Christ in God. Phil 3:20 Our citizenship is in heaven, & from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:11 I urge you as sojourners & exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Rom 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. — SEEK that which is ABOVE not on EARTH! Rejoice that your names are written in heaven! And Be at peace with ALL people! Trust God & FEAR not what men do! Love Mel
