WHAT IS LIFE

For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us- 1 John 1:2

Life as we know it:

The time for which something exists or functions:

The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.

Life in God:
For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us- 1 John 1:2

Eternal life-Greek, “the life which is eternal.”
The life was seen and shown. Jesus the Son Of God manifested life in the flesh.
This is thesame eternal life, which we shall always enjoy.

Thanks Unto God

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: Psalm 92:1

A very good thing indeed. God is good and worthy to be praised to the ultimate highest.
Give thanks unto Him today. See opportunities during the day to sing praises to God.
The Lord is high and lifted up on His gloriouis throne. He looks down and beholds us.
All the Heavenly host praise Him.  We too should give thanks.
The beasts around God’s throne give glory,honour and thanks to him on the throne
God is to be praised. God Almighty, which art, and was, and art to come
He has great power and reigns forever more.  Give thanks to His Name

 

THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone

Jesus was thankful to the Father for food while on earth. Today on this special day, let us not forget that all blessings come from God. The pilgrims were thankful when they arrived. We too should be thankful.

 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. -John 6:11

And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. -Acts 27:35

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  -Phil. 4:6

We are on our way to  a better land so – In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thess. 5:18 

 It is God’s will that we be thankful.

 Prayer: All glory, honor and praise, belongs to you Lord. Wisdom and Might is yours. It is by your power that we live. I am grateful for all I posses for without You, I would have nothing. I give You thanks today and always

~~Food From His Table~~

Food from the Lamb, is choice
It is indeed a balanced diet
Feeding on His Word, gives strength
To sustain our spiritual life

If we are to grow in Christ
We must eat spiritual food
Serve the Lamb to your family
They will grow up to be strong

A Reason To Be Thankful

“Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair; I envied her—she seemed so happy, and how I wished I were so fair; When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; she had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two feet—the world is mine.

“And when I stopped to buy some sweets, the lad who served me had such charm; he seemed to radiate good cheer, his manner was so kind and warm; I said, ‘It’s nice to deal with you, such courtesy I seldom find’; he turned and said, ‘Oh, thank you sir.’ And then I saw that he was blind. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes, the world is mine.

“Then, when walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue; he stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do; I stopped a moment, then I said, ‘Why don’t you join the others, dear?’ He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears, the world is mine.

“With feet to take me where I’d go; with eyes to see the sunsets glow, with ears to hear what I would know. I am blessed indeed. The world is mine; oh, God, forgive me when I whine.”

IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:  To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Psalm 92: 1,2

 It is almost Thanksgiving Day again in the U S A. A day when friends and family all  will join together in a great day of feasting and family fun. Will they be truly thankful—I mean truly thankful to God for the abundant blessings he has given to those of us who live in free countries.

“Dear God, please give to me a thankful heart—a heart to remember your lovingkindness every morning and your faithfulness every night and help me to realize that your blessings are new every morning and your faithfulness is unto all generations.

Celebrating Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING IS A TIME TO BE THANKFUL

As Christians we look forward to the time of the year when we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. These holidays have special meaning for the Christians as we reflect upon our blessings.  At Thanksgiving, American Christians find plenty to be thankful  for. God has blessed us abundantly .

 We are truly a blessed people.  No one has to go to bed hungry.  God is good to His children, and wants the best for them, but at the same time,  He deserves our highest praise and thanks!

David said it this way: 

 Thanksgiving to God

1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. 

-Psalms 95
