A Quote from Christ

“Look at the birds of the air; your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 

How hard is it for us in our time to remember that we are more valuable than the birds or actually any other living thing. We find our selves low, probably unwanted, unloved, and forgotten, by the vary society we created.
Family, friends, the work place, and even our gatherings to worship the Lord, can make you feel hungry, needing or wanting.
God does feed the Birds of the air, he also takes care of them. God wants to do the same for us. Let him guide you first and for most and all else will follow.
It is so important to know that we as a family come first with the Lord, That alone makes us the most valuable of all.

This wonderful House Sparrow was so busy the other day creating a nest in a bird house that I provided. All day long just going at it. His Mrs. was busy inspecting all his work. I wish at times that I had more time to watch Gods work in Nature. It is always fascinating.

A garden sign given to me by my next door neighbour

“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven".

This is for most people and myself included nearly imposable. However I can and it does happen that it can be very rewarding on the human level. That sign in the picture like I stated was given to me by my next door neighbour. I hated him for a few years and the reasons were not of mine concern, but rather my grandfather's.

They had a property dispute and it became extremely ugly for both men. People were drawn in and so forth. I admit I wished for this man great harm and so on but of course I was not going to get my hands dirty.

Years later after my Grandfather died and the neighbours wife died within a month of each other. I decided that the fight was long dead and stupid. Huge amount of money had been spent and the cold war was still on. A neat thing happened the day I moved into my Grandparents home. I seen that evil neighbour in his back yard, he gave me a look and I gave him a glare. Then I said to the Lord, Why can I not grow up. Funny thing was as soon as I said that, I went to the fence and said hello. It shocked me.


Very long story shortened way down. My neigbour and I have been the best of friends from that day forth.  I discouvered that my enemy was not just a good person, but a godly man. Better he was kind and is trusting.

If it was not for a little 5 second prayer, I believe the war would still be on. with no winners. The Lord sure knows how to do things right!!!!!

A Quote from Christ for Christmas

“Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time”

The Son of God, He who takes the sins of the world....onto himself was born probably 2,014 or 2016 years ago in the Holy Land. Most scholars to-day think it was probably 4 BC or 6 BC. I think 6 BC because of the censers of Rome.

t

 Christmas to-day is celebrated by about one third of the world's population.That is more than two Billion people, an incredible number. The Monetary value of Christmas is nearly 4 Trillion a year. Believe it or not it is only seconded by Military spending world wide annually. Sadly the effect of all this money is not what you would think it is. All that good will, happiness, and feasting is so short lived that it ends literally at midnight on the 25th. Why, I will leave that to the reader.

This is a page from an 1881 Bible I own. It is an Old King James. This is the end of Chapter One, Matthew. This confirms the Virgin Birth as seen v 25. also it shows that Joseph has a huge responsibility to take on a pregnant wife which is not of his doing. That was huge in that day and time.

I used this pic in a previous post, any way it represents a huge amount of time. At least 1,000 years and more. Firstly the Old Testament up to the birth leading it threw with the Profits.

                                  the wailing wall
Then the year or so before the Birth and the two years after. That being visited by Angels, shepherds and wise men. The Anger of King Harold, and the killing of all male children two and younger.

                                    the pyramids
Even more so the flight to Egypt, which was treacherous. The Christmas story is so much more than just the birth of the Jesus. In many way it is a very tragic story as well as one of hope and praise.

 The entrance to modern day Bethlehem,  I think it speaks volumes about to-days concernings with politics, religion, and faith.
These huge concrete walls thread threw this historic town like great dividers to which they are.

A quote from Christ.

A young Dove in early August born and raised in my back yard. This guy is about to take flight any hour...

“Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.”

Yesterday I was reading about Joseph Goebbels  Children. If you remember they were killed by their Mother on May 1st 1945 in the Bunker at Berlin. The oldest was 13 and the youngest 4.  five girls and one boy.
Then I went to You tube to watch some real footage of that event. I was shocked at what I read in some comments. Hate and Violence wished on these children was horrible. Some went as far as to say they deserved to die because of the parents and who they were. How much more we need to learn about Jesus and the reading from Christ. I am certain that these children are with the Lord. I am in favour that one day these children will get a funeral, and a monument. They done no wrong. People who do push hate and mistrust should learn to love them selves and the lord before all else that they are consumed in.

A Quote from Christ,, June 10 2010

a Mushroom, what kind I have no idea, It may or may not be poisonous. I will just enjoy the beauty of it.

“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.”

I was reminded of the mushroom when I read this lately as it lives in the dark. It is beautiful but not readily seen. The light is not welcome by this fungus. 

Here are Tiger Lilies, and Japanese Snow Balls, They want the light and stretch high to receive it. They are well seen and people are drawn to them.
Some-thing like the Lord. He is the light and you truly want to be seen by the light.


Okay, I am not saying mushrooms are evil here just making a comparison to to the dark. I am actually fascinated by them

A Quote from Christ,, May 27 2010

“Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time”

I looked at my garden and I understand that there will be a day when it will be no more. I seen myself in the mirror and there is a time limit to my earthly self.  In the even bigger picture I seen the stars last night and they where proof of God, and I know that they to have a said allotment of time. Even the Galaxy has a life span. They say in about 5 billion years the Milky Way Galaxy will die because at that time the Andromeda Galaxy will swallow us up.
But Jesus said he will be with us till the end of time. The Experts say there is an end of time as we know it. However it is not the end of time as God knows it.
