Gratitude...
I red Christine Caine's status on Facebook a few days ago and it made me think...
"Take some time to thank God for all the shut doors in 2012... new doors are about to open in 2013 #youwillbegrateful."

Yes.So true!Gratitude means that I'm thankful for all
the things I have and that I'm more concentrate on the things I have
 than on the things I don't have.
So as the year 2012 is near to end I want to pray and thank God:

Dear Heavenly Father,
I want to thank you with my whole heart for all the things you have been given
and doing in my life in this year 2012.And I want to thank you even for the 
closed doors as I know you have a great plan for my life and I know that you will
guide me and you are willing to bless me even more that I can ever ask.
Thank you for your love and thank you for who YOU ARE.
In Jesus name.Amen.

 God bless you!
       
    


Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life. ~Corrie Ten Boom 

So in this Christmas we can remember what He's done
and honor the perfect gift--God's one and only Son!
 Have a blessed Christmas time!

ps.If you haven't yet received the best gift ever simply pray like this:

JESUS I BELIEVE YOU DIED FOR ME AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD,
SO I NOW WANT TO LIVE FOR YOU.Forgive all my sins and come to live in my heart.
I acknowledge YOU as MY SAVIOR AND LORD.Guide my life.
In Jesus name.Amen.




Today I want to share with you 3 gifts white...


I'm so happy and thankful that I found this white star from Ikea.(I know with the light on it looks
like yellow and not white...but it is white!)
I just love this kind of Christmas decoration!
Maybe because when I was a child we used to have an orange Christmas star 
in the window during the Christmas time and I just loved to watch and enjoy that light...
And secondly a star is just a great symbol from the real Christmas story.



White hyacinths...just love them;it's one of my favorite flowers.
And the fragrance is wonderful...
So thank you God for creating these beautiful white hyacinths so that I
can enjoy them today!


We have these days snow!
My sons have been enjoying it so much;they have been hours outside playing 
with the snow.
Me too, I had to get out to make a nice walk on the snow;and I was 
happy to have my husband's white snowboots on;didn't feel any cold. :)
So thank you Father for the white snow!



God's word is food for our souls! 
Memorize it.Confess it.
Let the words of the Bible enter into your mind and descend into your heart...
And let God's word transform your whole being!
Have a blessed day!
 
 

Hi!How are you?
I hope you are ok...because often Christmas can be can be the most stressful of times.
We have very long  to-do-lists and we are rushing with many issues...
And when we have too many things to do it's easy that we become stressed.

The stress can become overwhelming, even under the best circumstances...
Fun and frustration; peace and panic; excitement and exhaustion;and spending...
And all of sudden we forgot why we are even celebrating the Christmas.
So let us just stop for a while and think.

Do not be afraid. 
I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 
 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; 
he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:10-12


So no...we don't want to be stressed but we sure want to celebrate our savior.
Anyways there isn't a right or wrong way to celebrate Christmas...Maybe you can 
change something in your Christmas traditions so that you won't be so stressed.
Let's not focus on commercial values of Christmas but...

Take a brake,enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and just relax and enjoy and
reflect that we really do have a savior!


  Did you know that the first Christmas song ever was sung by the shepherds
and it was a worship song to God!
So while drinking your coffee or tea listen this Christmas song and
worship God!

"Come and adore Him
And bring gifts before Him
Joy to the world
Worship the Son
This is Christmas."

Have a blessed Christmas time!
  



Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth. Nazareth was a town in the country of Galilee.  He went to a woman who had never had a man. Her name was Mary. She was promised in marriage to a man named Joseph. Joseph was of the family of David.  The angel came to her and said, 
“You are honored very much. You are a favored woman. The Lord is with you. You are chosen from among many women.”
 When she saw the angel, she was troubled at his words. She thought about what had been said.  The angel said to her, “Mary, do not be afraid. You have found favor with God. See! You are to become a mother and have a Son. You are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great. He will be called the Son of the Most High. 
Luke 1:26-32 

I can only imagine how amazed Mary was when the angel appeared to her.
And I guess her though might have been:Me?Did God really choose me?
And maybe you are thinking in the same way about yourself...

But ever since after Maria God has been
using unlikely and insignificant people to achieve his purposes! 

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart" 
1 Samuel 16:7 

So...I just love how Revd Canon J.John says it:
What you do today may seem to be nothing, 
but if God is involved - a nothing can become everything.  

So I pray that you will be everything God created you to be!

Have a great advent time!

  

God's word is food for our souls! 
Memorize it.Confess it.
Let the words of the Bible enter into your mind and descend into your heart...
And let God's word transform your whole being!
Have a blessed day!
 



 I personally love art;I enjoy looking at it as well as doing it.
Lately the form of my creativity has been photographing but
last week as my son was sick and we had to find something to do at home
I remembered my watercolors...So we did some painting together.
And it felt so good!So this is a piece of my work;
it's still unframed as I want to add something else on it...
Thank you God for the creativity!

This other unframed art is my son's drawing:
it's me making some orange juice for the breakfast!
This drawing makes me smile!
Thank you God for my son's creativity!


And the nature...it's a wonderful unframed art made by God!
Thank you God for creating such a beautiful nature!
