Happy New Year, Amy!

Here's what I said a year ago:

One Day

One day, we’ll all be happy,
One day, we’ll be content,
One day, we’ll be aware of,
Exactly what God meant.

He told us we should love ourselves,
Just as we love our brother,
A purpose for life’s bounty,
To share with one another.

One day we may accept that,
Begin to understand,
One day to spread the love of God,
In peace throughout the land.

One day to find contentment,
A day to feel so blessed,
We’ll choose to be His servant,
And also be His guest.

NicknamedBob . . . . 1/1/2014

But this is how I really feel,

Say, Now!

A new first day! Let’s start it right!
Gee, the daylight’s awfully bright.
Maybe I partied some last night,
It’s in the past. Forget it!

Rise and greet the morning sun,
Lot’s of work still to be done.
Nobody said Life would be fun,
But if it is, we’ll let it!

With exuberance we’ll note,
Cheerful living gets my vote,
"A prayer of thanks to Him devote?"
That’s the way! You said it!

Someone lead us in a prayer,
If you’ve got a friend up there,
My example’s not too fair,
Not the way I’ve led it!

Alright, if you still insist,
No sense trying to resist,
I may get points for being missed,
I hope we won’t regret it!

Lord, we humbly bow our head,
And ask again for daily bread,
Let the words be clearly said,
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Better Or Worse?

January 1, 2015

Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-5,10-17

You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of. —2 Timothy 3:14

Bible in a Year:
Genesis 1-3; Matthew 1

At the beginning of each new year, experts give their predictions about the economy, politics, weather, and a host of other topics. Will there be war or peace? Poverty or prosperity? Progress or stagnation? People everywhere are hoping that this year will be better than last, but no one knows what will happen.

There is, however, something we can be certain about. A guest speaker at my church suggested that when we ask if the world will get better or worse, the answer is “Yes, to both!”

Paul told Timothy, “In the last days perilous times will come; . . . evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them” (2 Tim. 3:1,13-14).

The inspired Word of God instructs, corrects, and encourages us as we follow God’s path (vv.16-17). J. B. Phillips described the Scriptures as our “comprehensive equipment” that prepares us fully for all branches of God’s work.

As the spiritual darkness of our world grows deeper, the light of Christ shines more brightly through all those who know and love Him. Jesus is our joy and hope—today, tomorrow, and forever!

Heavenly Father, the trouble in this world can
divert our eyes from You. Thank You for Your Word
that helps us stay focused. May we find our delight
in Your love and share it with others today.

The powers of evil around you are no match for the power of Jesus within you.

Insight

In 2 Timothy, Paul is mentoring Timothy who is serving with the church at Ephesus. Having spent 3 years there himself, Paul was familiar with the Ephesian church and this would have helped him identify with the challenges that Timothy was facing.

Happy New Year and God's Blessings To All



I want you to know that I read through all of the wonderful Christmas posts and discussions with a smile on my face and I thank all of you who replied to my Peanuts Greeting as I spent many days working on it, it may be my best gif ever and my Grand Finale, lol.

My family came the day after Christmas and we had a lovely time. The next day, Saturday, I became ill and had to lie down. When I woke the kids had cleaned up and traveled back home :( and I spent the last 5 days in bed. Today is the first day I've been up and around - feeling better. Please don't bother to reply as I'll never be able to get to all the missed posts. I know those of you 'here' care and pray all of you are well.
