Thankful in 2013

Psalm 92

 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

² To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
³ Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
⁴ For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

I am very Thankful today for the Lord. He has done so much for me and I cannot praise Him enough. A member of our church made a statement at our offering prayer time that give me " food for thought"  He said the commercial world has just about forgotten about Thanksgiving.  We barley leave Halloween and Christmas is already thrown in our face.  It's almost like Thanksgiving is over looked.  So my fellow church encouraged us on that not to forget about Thanksgiving. 

And so it is in the world's way and wisdom.  Many do forget to be thankful and to even say a friendly thank you to others and in many situations.  It is interesting how a perception becomes a mind thought or even a method of life.  I think there are many worldly thoughts and teachings that try to enter our minds and thoughts that turns us away for the teachings of Christ and the bible.

But today I am Thankful for these three. My Family, my faith and my future. 

I am thankful for family, my wife and my son.  I wasn't raised as being a hugging and lovingly family. But when I got saved, when I became a Christian, a child of God, He took care of what I was missing. Old ways are passed and all things become new.  A new love, laughter (joy) and out look.  And I love my family, my wife and son. My wife completes me and I love her very much.  My son has given me a new direction in life, even though he's out of school, I love him dearly and I am thankful for my family.

And I am thankful for my faith. My belief in God. I love his words, his ways and will. I have two other blogs, but I not as inspired and excited as I am blogging for the Lord. Not that He needs me to, but because I want to. My faith gives me a direction, drive and desire to serve Him and for that I am thankful.

And I am thankful for  my future, I am trusting to His unseen hand.   And I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.  If that means Heaven or literally here on earth, this is my future. And I am thankful for it.

So truly we have much to be Thankful for in our life, Food, fun and fellowship with family and friends. And just to thank Him for what He as done, I bless His dear name. Praise the Lord !!

God bless you friend, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Call on Him today.

Called to the floor

Hello All, the other day while taking my son to work, we encountered a traffic jam.  The road was closed due to a traffic accident. So I thought that I would be helpful and I had my son to tweet a message to the traffic reporter on one of our local TV station.  As she is on my twitter account.  Again, may I emphasize I did not tweet and drive, I had my son, who was on the passenger side, tweeted the message.

Well, another unknown  twitter person, sent a  message to me and said that I should have not done this, he thought I was tweeting and driving and I assured him that I didn't and I had my son, who was a passenger, to tweet the message. We had a couple and word exchange, then I promised I did not indeed, tweet and drive, but I felt like, that I was being "called on the floor" for something that I did or in this case did not do.

But the phrase, being "called the floor" spoke to my heart and mind.  You see, one day, we all will stand before God one day.  The bible says in Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  One day you will stand before God, and at that time you will not be able negotiate your eternity nor your sinful life.  It's All determine in this life time.  For in this life time, you determine your eternity. This day, choose you this whom you will serve, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation. 

I did not like to be called on the floor for tweeting and driving, but one day we will All appear before Him. Are you prepared for that day ??  Will you be ready ??  

First, you have to be saved, born again, accept Jesus Christ into you heart and Life. Become a child of God,
the bible says in John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  

Call on the name of the Lord and be save, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be shall.  I pray that you will.

God Bless you,
