Happy New Year
Jan 1st
Welcome to the year 2009 and: THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE; LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT! PSALM 118:24 *NKJV
Beloved, no matter all prayers prayed for you, they are awareness and confirmation of what the Lord has said about you. He has already defined you and He made you. You are a success and success ye shall be. 2009 welcomes you with JOY UNSPEAKABLE.
Have a wonderful and fulfilling year in Jesus name. Amen
A new year just beginning,
Each day a fresh, new start,
To fulfill your hopes
And pursue the dreams
Sustained within your heart.
Put God in charge;
He’ll plant the seeds
Of affection, love and care.
Like a garden, your life will grow
With kindness flowering there.
And as you face the wonder
Of each day’s mysteries,
You’ll see God’s hand
Unfolding, daily, possibilities!
And as each day comes to a close,
Dream a dream or two,
Then with a prayer thank dear God
For each day given to you.
Poet, Gael Phaneuf
Merry Christmas

FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A CHILD IS GIVEN; AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE ON HIS SHOULDER, AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEASE. ISAIAH 9:6 *NKJV
As we celebrate this day let us not lose sight of the first Christmas present ever given, that being God giving us His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to dwell with us!
So let us not get lost in all the hustle and bustle of this time of year. Instead, let us be mindful of all our blessings, and share the Christmas Spirit with others. Remembering:
THE GREATEST Gift
The greatest gift at Christmas time
Is one we all may give -
A friendly smile that helps to make
Life easier to live.
A kindly thought, a helping hand,
To show someone we care
And let them know how much it means
For us to have them here.
The greatest gift at Christmastime
Costs not a lot to buy -
It’s being a good neighbor
As days and months go by:
It’s offering a shoulder
When someone needs a lift,
And so I pray this Christmas Day
That this may be your gift!
Poet, Grace E. Easley
May you have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Wonderful New Year!
Fill my mouth with laughter, O Lord.

FOR THEN IT SHALL BE SAID; OUR MOUTHS WERE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND OUR TONGUES WITH SONGS OF JOY. THEN IT WAS SAID AMONG THE NATIONS, “THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR THEM.” PSALM 126:2
“Some Christian Humor …”
========
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. “Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk. “Only the Ten Commandments.” Answered the lady.
========
Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good Lord, it’s morning.”

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note “I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job. “Lead us not into temptation.”
========
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”
========
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?” A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy. “Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked. “You know – Our Father, who does art in Heaven… ”

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. “Reverend,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”
The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”
========
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!” His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?” The son replied, “I do know!” “Okay,” said his father. “What does the Bible mean?” “That’s easy, Daddy.” The young boy replied excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.’”
========
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.”
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the Pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about. He said “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.”
========
Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some humor out of life, And pass it on to other folk! Amen.
Have a great day.
