Do you know God?

Sometimes God dramatically interrupts our lives to get through to us. But other times, His work is slow and subtle as He patiently leads us to a place of readiness to obey Him. If God is speaking to you in the quiet of your heart and you haven't already received His gift of salvation, don't wait for an unusual event to occur. He is ready to welcome you now, just as you are, wherever you find yourself. There is only one path to life with God and eternity in His presence: Repent of your sins, confess your belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and receive Him as Savior. You can use the following prayer or your own words. ----> Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished on my behalf once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. In Your name we pray, Amen.

What's the Best Gift YOU'VE Ever Received?

 Serena is a blogger that I have followed for awhile and this is the question she asked us, her blog followers yesterday. 

What's the Best Gift YOU'VE Ever Received?

This was my reply.....

Hello Serena,

In response to your question of "what's the greatest gift I have ever received?"


You are probably asking about material gifts, however these are gifts I think of right off. 

The gift that Christ died for me.... which leads to my gifts of FAITH and ETERNAL LIFE. 


Ephesians 2:8 ESV

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God


John 3:16 ESV

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.



The truth is EVERYTHING I have is a gift from God, because everything I use daily comes from Him. 

I mean that in the sense that the whole earth and everything in it and on it belong to God, it is His creation.


Everything I make is made from His resources.

If I make a wooden table, the wood comes from His trees.

If I sew a garment, the fiber woven into fabric comes from His resources.

If I cook food, it was grown in His earth from fruit bearing plants He provided “In the beginning God created…”.

Whatever material thing I own is created from His resources (metal, wood, plastic, etc).

God is the ONLY one I know that ever made SOMETHING from NOTHING…!

Isn't that an incredible thought to consider?


Even our daily “breath of life” is a gift. The minute I open my eyes from sleep and begin thinking….I need to take the time to thank God for the new day He has given me. πŸ’•


All glory to God for He reigns!


Thanks again for asking!

Blessings to you and your family πŸ’•
