For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20: 4 Shared from Bible Home for Android https://bit.ly/bible-home-play

One thing I can truly say is this: God will fight our enemies for us. We do not have to be afraid of anyone. He will always protect us. ©2021 December 31, 2021 Friday @ 3:24 p.m.

What a year it has been. This year has brought us many things that we shall not soon forget. I would like to thank God for bringing us through every trial and tribulation that we have had to face, and are facing. I thank God first and foremost for Jesus Christ, His Son, whom without Him, we would not have eternal life. All praise be to God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who was and is and is to come. World without end Amen.

I am thankful that God has let me see another year to come. I am thankful for every blessing that God has given to me, and for all of the things He has done and are still doing for me. I thank God for my family, for my friends, and for you all. I thank God for already being in my future, and yours. I thank God for taking care of us all when we were sick for whatever reason. I thank God for bringing my grandmother out of ICU, and delivering her from the stroke she had. I thank God for being there with her and not leaving her alone. I thank God for allowing her to still be on this earth for all of these 96 years. I thank God for everything. His love endures forever.

What are you thankful to God for today and everyday? How has He shown you His love today and every day? What miracles has He worked in your life that you can thank Him for?

Everyday is a miracle that we wake up still on this side of heaven. The breath we take is a miracle. Walking, talking, seeing , hearing, moving, and being alive is a miracle. His mercies are new every morning, His love reaches to the skies, it is deeper than any ocean, and it expands further than the universe is wide. We have a Father who loves us more than our mind can fathom, that outweigh our comprehension. This is why we must be thankful to God. This is why we must praise Him and give glory to His name.

I have enjoyed sharing with you all everything that is on my heart on today and everyday. God bless you all, stay safe, and thank you all for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul. Happy New Year! ©2021 Friday @ 1:19 p.m.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. My Father’s house has many rooms.; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may be where I am.

May God bless the reading of His Word. World without end Amen.

Isaiah 65:24- And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will answer.

I have experienced this more times than I can count. God’s Word is true and working. I was going through something at one point in my life that I needed Jesus to intervene in. While I was praying, God had already answered my prayer. I did not see it right then, but when things started to take place, I saw that my prayer had been answered. Sometimes we do not realize the power that God has. We forget at times that He is always around us, His Spirit is everywhere. He knows what we need before we even ask. When we cannot see things happening in our life when we need it to happen, it is because we have lost faith in God. We have to have faith in God and believe that He will do what we ask of Him. Without faith it is impossible to please God. With God we can do all things, but apart from Him we can do nothing. We have to stay connected to the vine in order to flourish, but being torn from the vine we wither and die.

It has taken me many years to understand what that meant, but as I grew and learned, I began to understand what Jesus was saying to us about being staying connected to Him. We need Him for everything. We cannot live without Him. His Spirit lives in us, so therefore we live, move and have our being. He is our life and our Salvation.

Sometimes it takes going through things for us to see who Jesus really is. It takes trials and tribulations to grow our faith and to become strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

This is the day that the LORD has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. If you have not talked to Jesus today, He is waiting to hear from you. He is ready to give you a new life in Him. Accept Him as your LORD abd Saviour today and live the best life you have ever lived. God bless you and stay safe. Thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul.©2021

When Jesus was born it was a silent night. Who would have ever thought that Jesus would have been born in a stable which was unsanitary and dirty? There was not any room anywhere for them to lodge in a clean warm place inside from the elements.  As Jesus was being born, the star shined over the stable where Jesus was being born. Everyone saw the star shining and followed the star to where Jesus was born. The angel Gabriel came and announced the birth of Jesus, and a multitude of heavenly host praised God, saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

When I think about the birth of Jesus, it brings joy to my heart. God did not have to send His Son into this world if He did not want to, but because we needed a Saviour, He did. We should be praising God every day for His Son and what He sent Him here to do for us. We were bought at a price that we will never be able to repay.

Let us think about how Mary must have felt knowing why her son was born, and what was going to have to happen to Him so we could be saved from sin. I can just wonder when she was holding her baby what she may have felt holding her Saviour. What she may have felt when she raised Him all of His life. I wonder how Joseph must have felt for Jesus to be his step son, and his Saviour. I am quite sure Mary and Joseph held on to all of the memories they made together with Him while He was growing up.

I know Joseph must have been proud to teach Jesus Carpentry. I am quite sure Mary was proud as well. When time came for Jesus to be crucified, I know that the disciples were afraid, except the one who cut off the soldier’s ear. Judas betrayed Him, Peter denied Him three times, Thomas doubted that He rose from the dead, but Mary had to see her Son die on the cross.

I cannot imagine the grief and pain she had to feel in her heart and soul. I know it must have had an effect on how she did the things she had to do at home. The reason I say this is because loss hurts and people deal with grief differently, and sometimes it takes a long time to get passed it. I feel in my heart that she was overjoyed when she seen that He had risen from the dead just as He told the disciples that He would. I am glad that He took the punishment that we all deserved. It was gruesome, but that was the sacrifice He made for us. He paid the ultimate price for us by shedding His blood and taking our sins upon Himself.

Life gets hard every day because of what we are going through, but nothing can ever compare to what Jesus went through for us. We should be counting our blessings every day and thanking God for each and every one. We should bless God for all He has done, is doing, and will do for us. We should have hearts of Thanksgiving. We may not always get what we want because He knows what is best for us. I know for myself that sometimes it can be hard to understand why He says no to us, sometimes we have to wait a little while longer, but that’s alright. It means that He is moving things around and out of the way so we will not be harmed.

He loves us and only wants what is best for us. He does not want us to have any old thing, but only the very best of things. We are to be happy in Him and not the things we possess. Things are temporary, but our eternal life is forever. If you have not talked to Jesus today, He is waiting to hear from you. If you have not asked Him into your heart, repent, believe, confess, and live your life for Him. Your eternal salvation is very important. Where do you want to spend eternity? Choose this day who you will serve, because as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul. God bless you all, and stay safe. ©2021

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: Matthew 6:3 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.3.KJV

I don’t know what to say. My emotions are in the way. I try to be strong, but sometimes I can’t, and this is one of those times. I can’t find the words to say. So please forgive me if today I have seemed distant in my commenting. My heart is heavy because I am missing those I love. Today I smiled to hide my feelings, but I was happy in my own way. This would have been my grandbaby’s first Christmas had she made it. My heart is breaking and I can’t stop crying, so pray for me. I have to close this out, but tomorrow is another day. I will be ok. I hope and pray everyone had a Merry Christmas. Thank you all for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul. Stay safe and God bless everyone.©2021

Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.2.14.KJV

Today is one of those somber days where I just want to think about things that I can improve about myself.  Procrastination is one of those things. When I am deep in my thoughts, I forget about everything else that needs to be done, such as updating my writings, sprucing up my sites, and doing my hair, make up, and nails. Go figure. You would think those would be at the top of my todo list, but they aren’t. I alway put others and other things before myself; I guess I have always been that way and never really noticed it until recently.

Sitting at my kitchen table, looking out of the window at the trees wondering if the squirrels are warm in their nests. It is chilly outside although they said it was going to be warm, but you can never tell about this Texas weather. It will be pretty one minute and nasty the next. Enjoy the sun when it shines whether it be cold or hot.

Now that Christmas is on the way, just remember we are celebrating the birth of our LORD and King, Jesus Christ. If you are having a party, don’t forget to invite the guest of Honor, it is all about Him. Until next time, Merry Christmas! God bless.©2021
