Jesus is born


The shepherds said ‘let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’  

Come let’s hurry to Bethlehem and see where we can find the child.  The shepherds rushed off and went into Bethlehem.  They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.  

The met up with a couple of their friend and said ‘have you heard the good news?’  Looking at the shepherded they said ‘no, what good news?’

The shepherded said ‘The angel of the Lord appeared to us and told us of the arrival of a child that is born in the town of David. He is the Savour and he is Christ the Lord.’

‘Really?  What does he look like?’ they asked and wanted to know ‘where can we find him?’

At that time Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.  The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen which were just as they had been told.
Lord God, in humble prayer I come before You today and ask Lord that You will guide me, and show me the purpose of my life.  Lord I pray for wisdom and I ask Lord that You will teach me the way I should go.  I love You Lord and thank You for the time I have available and that I may come into Your presence.  I dedicate my life into Your hands today and I pray Lord for all the people reading my blog.

As each person reads it may Your Holy Spirit touch their lives and bring them into Your kingdom.  Lord You have favoured me with this tool and I pray Lord that I will use it to benefit You.  I pray Lord for the right words to speak and write.  I pray Lord for the right message at the right time.

Bless each person today Lord giving them their heart desires.  Help them face each day and know that You alone are in control over our lives.  We give You Lord all the glory and honour in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
