I truly am blessed to do so
and get out of the house

that are trying hard to get through
the retail chaos created by man
so be kind to sales persons
stockers cashiers and the like
cause some shoppers are really mean spirited

Thank y'all for the kind prayers 
we are the body of Christ team players
we share goals in our relationship,
let us not be like other nay sayers
lest we take down others when we do slip,
our success starts from a great leader
as we adhere to His righteous principals,
together we are biblical readers
may we encourage beautiful morals,
Christ is our center of influence
might he prepare our hearts to do well,
our Fathers pure love He does dispense
which binds us together like heavens gel,
as soldiers for Him may we be prepared
to spread His salvation so all are sparred~

Its been awhile since I posted to Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties but am always reading.
What inspires many readers and myself is no matter what comes your way, you're always getting back up and going forward for Christ.
God bless you for that.
Merry Christmas, thenami.

I believe the bible is like a map
it guides us to where we need to be,
sometimes we all like a little help
especially in our frail humanity,
to dig around I discover understanding
as verses seem to be highways,
they lead me to loving mercy and kindness
as self-forgiveness certainly pays,
its like Im on a hunt of sorts when I do read
and what I reap has no actual measure,
my eyes are a shovel my mind a sponge
cause I uncover many a hidden treasure~
might we all discover our own precious finds in scripture
Amen~

this is the first Christmas eve and early morn I have ever spent alone
the realization of this fact actually brings me happiness
cause Im never really alone! our Father in right here with me!
it is indeed just another day and I will be having dinner with family and friends
the birth and resurrection of our Lord is something we celebrate everyday
we praise His holy name for all He does all He is and all He will do
HE IS OUR GREATEST GIFT!
thank you Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ for salvation
love mercy grace and undeserved forgiveness, Amen.
oh, and Merry Christmas

Last night Hazel and I celebrated a quiet Christmas Eve reflecting on Christ’s Birth with 7 of us. Today we continue to celebrate with a nice meal and are thankful for the presence of Jesus every day.
Merry Christmas, brothers and sisters!
Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ
may we all enjoy a wonderful year
filled with our deepest desires come true
might you my Father in heaven
give us the strength patience and hope
to try harder to be better at preforming your will
being more conscious and accountable

sometimes I feel like a chandelier
my lights are off and Im dusty,
Ive just been hanging around
with cobwebs and getting rusty,
my power is still on I do recall
a switch does tell this story,
no one seems to care enough
to flip it into my glory,
sometimes I feel like its crystals
neatly polished to sparkle bright,
not even one fingerprint remains
to tarnish my colorful delight,
these patterns shoot across the walls
like they've been there all along,
in many rainbows I do dance
as I sing a beautiful song,
then I remember that dirty or clean
I have broken pieces that still shine,
there is always a light on inside me
that belongs to our Father,
and I always know Im fine

I've been a southern resident since 1989
living in 4 out of the 11 Ive resided in down here
I always keep coming back cause I love it
my youngest was graced with being born in the boondocks
I say y'all, bless your heart, till the cows come home, and drink sweet tea
my chicken is fried, corn bread homemade, and there are guns in my house
Ive lived well over half my life as a southern resident
over three quarters of it outside NYC
and Im still called a da*n Yankee
good thing I dont act like one...

I'd like to share. I lived in Montgomery, AL and Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina as a teen and remember many friends I made in the south. When my Dad deployed back to Vietnam we relocated back to San Diego. Though I reconnected with my old friends from grade school it was harder to make new friends. I had a hard time transitioning during junior high. I had developed a southern accent so the new kids thought I hailed from the south. lol! I don't know why. It left an impression on me and had to go to counseling. I was 14!
By high school I got past it and my personal faith grew. Today for some reason I still remember all that. I never considered myself a yankee, or a southerner...
Just me, bobinfaith.
welcome to everyone's saga known as life on earth
what a heck of a week and I am blessed always
got a pneumonia shot and my arm aches
went to the dreaded we all dislike dentist
he pulled a back molar with no remorse
and my poor baby girl is in the hospital
but no matter how old they get
they are our babies and we hurt with them
this time its her heart and mine is the one aching...
love hope peace and happiness to all

Oh dear.... I am so sorry to read this post.
I chuckled at the dentist pulling your molar with no remorse.
You are so RIGHT about no matter how old our children get...
they are STILL our babies.... and a mother's heart pains
like no other when we see our children suffer.
How blessed we are that we have HOPE in our SAVIOUR.
I am thinking of all these people in Southern California who
have lost their homes... many of them probably do not have
this hope we share as Christians.
Amen ladies, and thank you
the power went out this morning
as I did scramble in the darkness
to known places where I have candles
however I could not get a match lit
so found a few flashlights in stashed homes
here in NC we prepare for such events
as bad weather visits often enough
to be overly in tune with battery purchases
it got me to thinking about salvation
men stumbling around in the darkness
not being able to see their way well enough
until a shimmer light flickering flame
in the window of a house down the block
comes into view like a magical trick
and presto! there is hope in this blackness
I am not the only one that doesn't have power
and I know our Father in heaven is that light
whom guides us to find Him and see clearly
He puts His soldiers where others can see
to search Him out in many hidden places
and poof! He is the power! He is almighty!
when we least expect it His light comes on
with Him we know we are not alone in this world
saved by His love glory mercy and grace
Amen.

fill my mind with thoughts of peaceful kindness
might I remember to thank and praise you,
for renewing strength when I am weary
and loving us no matter what we do,
may we abound in your good hope always
as we find joy in the simplest things,
even when we labor you give us rest
and from tribulation this life does bring,
might the gift of charity grace us well
as your words of truth are a shield of love,
inside hearts our faith unwavering
forgiveness and salvation from above,
in the holy name of your Son Jesus Christ
teach us your ways in the truth and the light,
Lord please let mercy remain upon us
anointed so we may shine for you bright,
sanctify our hearts we are ready
in all of your great glory might we serve,
knowing salvation is your greatest gift
and in heaven our souls you shall preserve
Amen
