Dec 26th “The Day After”

Reach Out

BLOG BURST:
"Well, well, well, we’re at the day after Christmas. Do you believe that? Still reeling from family, friends, loved one, presents, gifts, travel, food, conversation, one up-man ship, meism, stories, control, volume, over indulgences, heartfelt moments, tear jerking emotions, missing loved ones, family absences and a whole lot more?

Did you have any time to ponder why you’re here? What’s the truth about life? Where are we all going? Are we all going? Have you thought about your own being and significance, your worth, your meaning, your involvement, your direction?

Too often this time of year depresses us about a lot of stuff.

Take heart! Get out of those negative things that pull you down. Here’s something to contemplate. Over six to nine thousand or some number of years ago God created and walked and talked with man.

Think about that! What about you? Did you know He wants to talk with you and have a personal friendship relationship? Did you know He wants to guide you and give you insight? Did you know He wants to help you correct all that you’ve messed up and bring you back to a right relationship with Him!

How’s that for a New Year’s resolution? This year 2011, I want to have a friendship relationship with the Creator of the Universe. I want to talk with Him every day. I want to get straighten out and do His will and in doing so I know I will be blessed above all expectation.

It’s time to consider your New Year’s Resolutions. Choose wisely!"

POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“People will surprise you and desert you in a heart beat
Husband, wife, child, friend, family or even those you meet
Really doesn’t matter, its life and what we do to each other
We talk a lot, show a lot, give a lot but we can’t really bother
There is one who will never leave and be there always for you
Never forsake, throw you away, but always bring you through!”

“The most valuable paintings last a lifetime, but find out what lasts forever. Happy New Year to you and yours; may you resolve to seek that which you should. Talk with you again soon!”

Dec. 19th "Forgot?"

What Child

BLOG BURST:
" Oh No, what is it you forgot?

Who did I get presents for and who have I not taken care of yet? To whom have I sent email cards to and to whom haven’t I? Who did I send the annual report to and who did I forget? What did I buy for Christmas Dinner and what did I forget? What did I buy for a welcoming gift and what did I forget. What do I need to get done before I travel and what did I forget? What do I need to do before Saturday and what am I forgetting? What do I have to finish and what am I forgetting? On and on and on it goes!

I just don’t have time to even think about all that stuff!

“Wait, Hold On!!” Take a deep breath and be still. Know that this is Christmas, that it is coming soon. Be caring, be patient, be kind, be respectful, be honest and be thankful. Be especially thankful to God Almighty who gave you life and allows you to live and breathe. Reflect on all that He has done for you and how He has prepared a way because of Christmas to have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus, The Christ. Be aware of His gift to you, eternal life through His Son, that little child of Bethlehem.

If you know Him and you’ve strayed from the path, made your own choices and know they are just not right, you can make things right. Go talk with Him. If you don’t know Him, ask Him to meet you personally this year during this time, Christmas."

POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“We all seem to start life in much the same way
All kinds of hopes and dreams and a lot to say
Then life and the world comes knocking at the door
Things we’ve said, choices made, turn out pretty poor
Take heart and know He’s waiting there for you
To Talk and show you exactly what to do!”

“Great paintings deliver great messages especially during special times. May you have a wonderful week and an exceptional Saturday, Dec. 25th!! May God bless you and yours!”
