Thinking About Home

When you think about the word home what do you think about? Is it your family, your treasures, such as a collections that you have put together, or pictures your children or grandchildren have drawn and are on your refrigerator? Maybe you have a pet and when your away for the day you look forward to coming home to your pet. By the way, I have a turtle and she is now celebrating her twenty-third birthday. 

Is your home a happy home with lots of excitement and challenges of raising children of all ages? Maybe your children are still in the baby stage, or middle aged, and yes maybe even teenagers. It is never quiet in your home, but you want to be the best parent you can be. And you look forward to what a day may be with the Lord's help He will get you through. Maybe are your children are grown and it is just you and your husband and you may be adjusting to the change. 

Now all the things I mentioned above have to do with our earthly home. These are the things that the Lord has provided for us and has given to us to take care of. But if you are a believer in Christ you have another home to look forward to going to. What comes to your mine when you think of heaven?

As I was waking up and having my quiet time with the Lord that thought came to my mind.  Jesus was my first thought. then seeing God in whatever form He is in. Jesus has a body because of His death on the cross, but I am not really sure what my Father is going to look like. 

There are other things about our new home that are going to be different then the ones down here. Jesus is preparing a mansion for us. All kinds of thoughts come into my mind when I thought of a mansion. It could be huge, or it might be a small home, but it doesn't really matter as Jesus is making a special home just for us. 

There will be no night there. That is nice. I like daytime better. No more crying, hurting, and we will be around a lot of people. I just enjoy being with people. And I imagine that the Lord will have plenty of work for us to do, but that won't be a bad thing. We will eat in heaven too. And it is going to be a very beautiful city with streets of gold and gates of peal. But I don't think we are going to really notice those things as we will be with Jesus and God our Father. 

Oh what a eternal that will be!

Are you looking forward to going to your new home? Your real home in heaven?  

A Day Of Reflection

It has been awhile since I have written. When I first started this blog I wanted to write everyday. But like haiku poetry, I don't always seem to find a subject that seems to fit. My life is a quiet life, well somewhat, and I don't what I have to share with you would  be interesting. Then as I was doing my daily devotions today I read Proverbs 27;19 which says, As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person.
( NLT)

I began to think about that a little more and decided that everyday is a day in which I can praise the Lord for something. And this would show my heart condition as being thankful.

 Today it is the weather. Right now there is sunshine and no rain. Some places have been hit very hard with storms. I have been sick for the last two days, but praise the Lord I am doing better today and should be able to go to work tomorrow. I have found a great new hobby for me and that helps me to relax and stay calm as I have problems doing that. The hobby I found blends in with other things that I do. So it is all working together for good.

I have this blog in which I can talk to you and pray for you even though I don't know you I can pray that the Lord will continue to be with you if you are His. Give you strength and courage to face what you have to face for today. If you are not a child of God I can pray for you also that you will discover who Christ is and what He has done for you. He died for you, He was buried, and He rose again. Then He went back to heaven and is with His Father and preparing a place for you and me and will return again to take us home!

So I am praying that you all have a great day. And just take time and reflex on your own life and see how your heart is. Is it happy and you are showing it to others in a good way. Or is your heart in an angry mood or your unhappy. Is your life showing that also. Think also all that the Lord has done for you. And that should help you to sing with joy! Maybe your going through tough times. You can be sure that God is with You and He will help you through it.

There Is More To The Easter Account

There Is More To The Event

Sometimes we stop at the time when the woman come to the tomb early the first day of the week. But there is more to come. The first thing we see is when the guards who were there go to the chief priests and elders and tell them everything that happened. The chief priests and elders were not happy about this so they bribed the guards. They told them to tell the Jews that the disciples came and took Him. And it is sad because even today the Jews believe this account. Even some of those who say Jesus in person doubted. How can that be? But it happened.  Tomorrow we will learn more of the events that followed Jesus resurrection.

Easter

I hope that all of you had a good Easter Day. My husband and I had a very nice one.

 

 

He Is Risen!

 

That is what makes Jesus so special and unique. He was dead but came alive and is living again with His Father in Heaven preparing a place for us and coming back to get us!

 

 



Important News-All Amercans Microchipped by 2017

As I was going through my Facebook post I came across one that is from NBC News: All Americans Microchipped by 2017."  By DNA October 23, 2013. NBC is predicting RFID implanted in Americans in 2017 or are they the mouth piece for the beast?

This chip can track your every move, control your money, control your food and possible even kill you if you don't obey! A number of states like Virginia, have passed "stop the mark of the beast legislation" in an effort to stop this.

They do things (RFID) over time to condition the population into think this is normal. Please understand, you are just a number to the government. A RFID Chip is the governments means to control you for the rest of your life.

The article goes on to say that the NLF has done research into this issue and believe that the RFID legislation was removed from the final Obamacare bill. The fact that such language was ever considered should be disturbing. Will the RFID language be put back in?

To all people time is short and soon the rapture is going to take place and those who know Christ as their Savior will go up with Him when He comes back in the clouds. Those left behind are headed for a real rough time. It will seem like Hell on earth. Things are bad now,bjhousewordsbbj but they are going to become worst.

Beware- Don't be talked into the chip if you are a believer. It has been predicted in the Bible that something like this will take place. The chip will be the number of the beast or antichrist.

Please! If you have not accepted Christ as the Son of God and your Lord and Savior, who died for your sins on that cruel Cross over 2,000 years ago, was buried and rose again and now is back in heaven with His Father preparing a place for you and me. Praying for us. Please find someone you can talk to about this matter. It is very important that you accept Christ. He is the only way to become a child of God and the separation from God be closed. If you do not have Christ as your Savior your separated from God. It was God who sent His Son down to earth to die for us so we could be saved from the death of our sins.

This is heavy on my heart that time is so short. Come to Christ today.

Take Time To Rest

If you are anything like myself you don't take time to rest. I mean just go to a place and be quiet and just enjoy the quiet time. I always feel guilty if I am not doing something. But you know what? God rested after He created the universe. So He didn't feel guilty. In fact He tells us in Genesis to take a day of rest.

When I was growing up no businesses were open on Sunday. It was a given thing. Now people are sometimes working, if they could, seven days a week or over forty hours a week. This week alone I am working five days a week when I only usually work three. I am a person who fills in for people for some reason or another are not able to work.  It is not a hard job and I enjoy it, but it is sitting for five or six hours at a computer some days and that gets tiring. So I get up and walk around and then feel better.

So our thought for today is that we take time out to rest. Some people take a walk in a park or on a trail. Some sit outside in their backyards and just be still and listen to what is around them. Some go into a room or take a drive to their favorite place.

Find your place and rest and enjoy the moments that you can get away and just think about God, look at His creation, and rest your body.

Giving Jesus Our Boat

Continuing on with the book that I am reading by Max Lucado Cure for the Common Life: Living In Your Sweet Spot, I was reading this morning about how Jesus went into Peter's boat without even asking if He could use it. The crowd got so big on land that Jesus needed to move out into the water in order to go on preaching to all the people that were there.

Now when Jesus was done preaching He told Peter to cast out his boat and go fishing. Peter being a well-seasoned fisherman was tired. He had fished all night with the other men with him and they caught nothing. The nets were cleaned and put away for the day and already to go for fishing at night  when it was the best time. But Peter obeyed the Lord and when they got to a certain place and then  Peter was told by Jesus  to let down the nets. Well Peter had so many fish the nets were barley able to hold them. And he called to the others to come and help him.  Peter knew right then that Jesus was not just a carpenter, a teacher, a healer, but he saw Jesus for who He was, The Messiah. He fell on his knees before Jesus and asked Jesus to leave him alone for he was a sinner and couldn't handle Jesus' holiness.

One other story that was mentioned was about a man who labored eighteen years in a Chinese prison camp. This man had to work in where they kept the sewage. The stink and disease was so bad that the Guards and prisoners alike had to avoid the cesspools . This man spent weeks in this pit. The smell was so bad that he could not scrub it out. BUT the man was grateful for this part of the camp as it gave him time to be alone and he could sing out loud to the Lord and pray. He found his own garden in this prison of his. It became his private garden. And while there he quoted the words to the old hymn, In The Garden. He said that he never new the meaning of this hymn until he had been in the labor camp.

 Max wanted those who were reading to see God can make a garden out of the cesspool you call work, if you take him with you. I have a job that is great. But there are days that it gets pretty rough. Maybe where you work  is a bad place to be. Just remember that everything can change if you give Jesus your boat and let him call the moves.
