Here are some of my very favorite words to my hubby: “What do you mean… maybe!” This is what I exclaimed to Duane when I asked him a specificity. It happened just minutes ago; but right now I can’t even remember what I asked. And that is just because I had such a great time laughing! Please keep in mind: I asked this with great jocularity! Seriously! I am a child of God and I just love getting my way!…..
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRUE STORIES: it’s about a squirrel, my Herbie! True, I don’t know which squirrel I’m talking about here: Herbie One, Herbie Two, Herbie Three… Selah. But here it is. Almost a year ago I had my very first breakfast meal at lunchtime at a family restaurant. Duane, our daughter-in-law, two out of three of her daughters, and I were gathered together for food and fun. I have no idea what came…..
In the Bible, in the book of Philippians, in chapter two, verses nine through eleven, we read Jesus’ name is above every name and God, the Father, exalted Jesus Christ and everyone, everyone, everyone will not only bow down to Jesus, but will openly admit Jesus Christ is Lord! Philippians 2:9-11 For this reason also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name…..
Do you want a shot of joy… Everlasting joy? Eternal joy? Real joy! Do this: Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
Maybe some of you wonder why I post this daily on Facebook and www.joyeternalministries.com Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all…..
In my lifetime I see disclaimers on television; statements making claims wherein people do not want to be associated with the topic in discussion. Not all that long ago some disclaimers would say they do not necessarily agree. Now some say they do not agree with the given topic in their disclaimer statement. I, therefore, am compelled to write MY CLAIM. My stories are designed to honor God – Elohiym, The LORD God Almighty. I worship the God…..
PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love the Lord and listen to Him, He guides me…..
You’ve got to get past your bad past! Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold…..
ARE YOU? DOES THIS SOUND STRANGE TO YOU? Perhaps you need to take a moment to think about sorrow… God, beloved and crabbies, does grieve. Did you know that? It’s good to know that first of all. Next, always remember that God, Himself gave us our emotions in order to fight the good fight… Selah. We children of God (Christians and Torah Jewish people only) are to fight the good fight. This would never include claiming…..
I PRAYED YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN READY! Have multitudes of people all over the Earth simply vanished?! BUT YOU HAVE NOT: You need to be informed. It wasn’t alien abductions. It wasn’t radiation poisoning. Jesus came down from Heaven to meet His Christians in the air and take them up to Heaven – believe – or not. Do not grieve like the rest those who seem to have no hope. We Christians are forever with Jesus and…..
