Living Letters
November 23, 2013

Read: 2 Corinthians 3:1-11

Clearly you are an epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God. —2 Corinthians 3:3

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 20-21; James 5

In November 1963, the same day that President John F. Kennedy was shot, another leader died—Clive Staples Lewis. This Oxford scholar, who had converted from atheism to Christianity, was a prolific writer. Intellectual books, science fiction, children’s fantasies, and other works flowed from his pen with a strong Christian message. His books have been used by God in the conversion of many, including a politician and a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.

Some are called to tell others about Christ through their writing, but all believers are called to be “epistles,” or letters of Christ, in the way we live. The apostle Paul tells us, “Clearly you are an epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God” (2 Cor. 3:3).

Certainly Paul does not mean we are actually pieces of paper upon which God’s message has been written. But as living “letters” we can illustrate how Jesus Christ makes a difference in how we treat others and strive to live with integrity.

Few will have the influence that C. S. Lewis did, but we are all called to bring glory to the One who loves us and has redeemed us!

Dear Lord, You have called me to be a witness for You
wherever You have placed me. Every day my life is on
display. Help me to live in such a way that others will
want to know You and the abundant life You offer.

We are Christ’s “letters of recommendation” to all who read our lives.

The Autumn Cat
By Marcus B. Christian

The bare tree branches
Are fishbones that
Were left in the wake
Of the Autumn Cat.
She nibbled the green leaves,
One by one,
And left bare branches
To greet the sun.
The hound-dog, Winter,
Will gnaw each bone,
Then sit on his haunches
And moan and moan.

I had an earlier post deleted because the 2nd graphic did not show up. Previewed several times and it appears to be missing again.

We are leaving town for a few days, so I will be AWOL for awhile. See you when I see you. LOL

Have a lovely Caturday .... I hope that image returns soon. :~)

"You're Accusin' ME Of Eating All Those Leaves??"

Cute poem, Amy...Fotki is acting up.
Have a great trip!
Happy Caturday~Dogurday Everyone

Happy Caturday, Y'all! :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Meg.

Is Fotki the reason the second image comes and goes? Darn it!

We are on our way to DisneyLand; Will ‘see’ you when I get back. Need to be here for Thanksgiving. I’m hoping to post Monday.

Have a Blessed Weekend.

I was guessing so as LUV’s post here is not showing today and it has before..I know she uses Fotki , too.

I wasn’t thrilled at the thought of going to Disneyland years ago..I LOVED it!
Enjoy!

[luvie]

Crud! Fotki is driving me nutty! I’ll be glad when they get their move done and stop fooling with stuff!

[luvie]

The weird part is that the one “missing” is the same one I used for my border with the kitten. Color me annoyed! >:{

[MEG33]

It doesn’t make sense!
Photobucket used to be bad about on and off displays of graphics..Lately it is not.

Hope Fotki gets all in order soon for you all.

[luvie]

I hope they get it together, too. I literally can’t find anything that I’m looking for anymore. That leaf graphic wasn’t really the one I wanted. The one I wanted is “temporarily off-line”. sigh!

This one was taken by my Aunt Mary in Hyannis in August of 1963.

Everyone in that picture (except perhaps the secret Service Guy) are now deceased.

Have a great Lord’s day my FRiends.

Psalm 100 (KJV) Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
