Good Mornin

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. (John 1:1-5) The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:9-14)

Our God is an Awesome God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:9-14)

God can turn your life around! Im living proof. All you have to do is ask for His forgiveness and He will carry you through the times of trouble . Remember Footprints in the Sand. When there was only one set of footprints is when God carried him/her the rest of the way

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE LOVE OF OUR SAVIOR IS BEING SHARED ON THIS THREAD! PRAISE GOD!

STEVE, BRIAN, RON, CELIA AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO VISITS THIS THREAD DAILY, THE POWER OF THE LORD OUR GOD IS UPON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. PRAISE HIM AND GLORIFY HIS NAME FOR HE HAS WONDERFUL THINGS PLANNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE AND TRUST IN HIM.

I WANTED TO SHARE A POEM WITH YOU THAT WAS WRITTEN INSIDE OF THE REMEMBRANCE CARD THAT WAS HANDED OUT AT A FRIEND'S RECENT FUNERAL SHOWING. THIS MANS LIFE HAD BEEN SCARRED UNDERSTANDABLY BY THE VIETNAM WAR AND HE SPENT A LARGE PORTION OF HIS LIFE DRINKING AS A COPING MECHANISM. EVEN THOUGH HE HAD BEEN SAVED EARLIER IN LIFE, I WISHED HE WOULD HAVE PLACED HIS TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST AS A COPING MECHANISM INSTEAD OF ALCOHOL. REGARDLESS, I RESPECTED HIM AND LOVED HIM FOR WHO HE WAS AND WHAT AS HE STOOD FOR, JUST AS JESUS DOES.


DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME NOW......

DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME NOW FOR I AM FREE
I AM FOLLOWING THE PATH GOD LAID FOR ME,
I TOOK HIS HAND WHEN I HEARD HIM CALL.
I TURNED MY BACK AND LEFT IT ALL.

I COULD NOT STAY ANOTHER DAY.
TO LAUGH, LOVE, TO WORK OR PLAY.
TASKS LEFT UNDONE MUST STAY THAT WAY.
I'VE FOUND THAT PEACE AT CLOSE OF DAY.

IF MY PARTING HAS LEFT A VOID,
THEN FILL IT WITH REMEMBERED JOY.
A FRIENDSHIP SHARED, A LAUGH, A KISS,
AH, YES, THESE THINGS TOO, I WILL MISS.

BE NOT BURDENED WITH TIME OF SORROW,
I WISH YOU THE SUNRISE OF TOMORROW.
MY LIFE'S BEEN FULL, I SAVORED MUCH.
GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD TIMES, A LOVED ONE'S TOUCH.

PERHAPS MY TIME SEEMED A LITTLE TOO BRIEF,
DON'T LENGTHEN IT NOW WITH UNDUE GRIEF.
LIFT UP YOUR HEART AND SHARE WITH ME,
GOD WANTED ME NOW, HE SET ME FREE!!!

AMEN.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

BRAD E. ISAACS

START TODAY!!!!!!!!

MANY PEOPLE MAKE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS ON NEW YEARS DAY,PROMISING THEMSELVES{AND SOMETIMES GOD} THAT THE NEXT YEAR OF LIFE WILL BE DIFFERENT.WE DETERMINE THAT HABITS ARE GOING TO BE CHANGED AND AND NEW PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR DEVELOPED.RESOLUTIONS LIKE THESE ARE HIGHLY COMMENDABLE AND CAN OFTEN SERVE TO STIMULATE GROWTH.BUT NOT ALWAYS.SOMETIMES OUR RESOLUTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT ONLY FOR BUT A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN SOON FORGOTTEN.SAMUEL JOHNSON ,A DEEPLY COMMITED CHRISTIAN WHO LIVED IN THE 18TH CENTURAY,FREQUENTLY WROTE RESOLUTIONS IN HIS JOURNALS.HERE IS A TYPICAL ENTRY {:" I HAVE CORRECTED NO EXTERNAL HABITS,NOR KEPT ANY OF THE RESOLUTIONS MADE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR,YET I HOPE STILL TO BE REFORMED,AND NOT TO LOSE MY WHOLE LIFE IN IDLE PURPOSES."}ITS GOOD TO ENGAGE NOW AND THEN IN SELF EXAMINISION.{PSALM 119 : 31-32 I CLING TO YOUR TESTAMONIES; O LORD,DO NOT PUT ME TO SHAME!I WILL RUN THE COURSE OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS.}WE SHOULD FACE UP TO THE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE, AND THEN MAKE PLANS FOR A WAY TO IMPLEMENT THEM.FOR EXAMPLE,IF WE REALIZE THAT OUR DEVOTIONAL HABITS ARE WEAK AND INCONSISTENT,LETS RESOLVE TO SPEND SOME TIME DAILEY IN FOCUSED FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.LETS ASK THE SPIRIT TO HELP US IN THIS CONSISTENT PRACTICE THROUGH ALL OF OUR TOMORROWS..RIGHT NOW! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO START!!! WE ALL KNOW GOD SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO SITS DOWN AND TAKES THE TIME TO LISTEN TO HIM,AND HE LISTENS TO THOSE WHO TAKE THAT TIME TO PRAY....GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU ,TODAY IS ALSO A GREAT DAY ,RIGHT NOW TO ASK GOD INTO YOUR LIFE ,THEN ON THE 25TH WE CAN CELEBRATE GODS BIRTH AND REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS..GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST, HAVE A BLESSED DAY,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON,,,MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,MAY THIS SEASON TOUCH YOUR HEART AND BLESS OTHERS ,,PRAYER SENT FOR EVERYONE !

CHRISTMAS

WELL THIS MAY BE A HAPPY EVENT FOR SOME AND FOR SOME IT MAY NOT,THIS PAST WEEK MY YOUNGEST SONS WIFE LOST HER MOTHER TO A LONG ILLNESS,AS I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CASKET WITH MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HER MOTHER LAYING THERE AND SHE SAID THAT HER MOTHER WANTED TO LIVE UNTIL CHRISTMAS.I TOLD HER THAT SHE COULD NOW SELIBRATE JESUS BIRTH WITH HIM,THATS REALLY WHY WE HAVE CHRISTMAS ANYWAY AND SHE WAS NOW IN NO PAIN AND GIVING HER UP WOULD GET EASIER AS TIME GOES ON, NOT THAT WE DON'T STILL MISS THEM BUT WE DO NOT GRIEVE AS MUCH FOR THEM,I EXPLANED TO HER I LOST MY DAD SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I STILL MISS HIM.
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS,HOPE U ALL HAVE A VERY MERY CHRISTMAS I KNOW ITS HARD TO LOOSE A FAMILY MEMBER THIS TIME OF THE YEAR BUT IF U KNOW THEY GAVE OF THERESELF TO GOD AND JESUS THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE.

SHE ALSO LOST A SISTER TO CANCER A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS.
