WG'S THOUGHTS

MIND WANDERING! Posted on   December 30, 2023   by   wint68,70pluswint I went for a walk today, through the corridors of my mind, searching for something special; I walked down the valley of the past, I stopped at an outdoor rink, put on my skates and glided up and down, I was going so fast I lost balance and fell. I pretended I was playing with the Canadians; I was on a line with Rocket Richard, Oh, what a dream. Now I wandered into my spiritual lane, I recalled the night in 1958,in a revival meeting, I decided to follow Jesus as my Saviour and guide. Since that day there has been no turning back; He has guided every footstep on this road to Heaven, and by His Holy Spirit He teaches me the Scriptures as I read. I thank Him for giving the Gentiles their own Apostle Paul. Paul went through so many trials to bring us the Gospel we have today, that Jesus was crucified for our sin, buried for 3 days then arose the third day victorious for evermore.We have this victory by putting faith in t

Luke 1:35-53 King James Version 35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36  And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37  For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38  And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of th

 As I sit looking out my window watching the traffic go by, and listening to Christmas carols, my mind wondered into the past, yes, the Christmas past; to the days of childhood, when Christmas was special, not for the gifts but for the presence, the wonderful presence of family, and the smell of roasting turkey, and freshly baked mince pie. Mother would make a large batch, batch of mince meat to last the Winter; I remember turning the grinder, to chop up the beef and pork and 15 pound of apples; Oh, so good smelling as it simmered on, on the old wood stove. Later in life my dear wife and I, made a large batch to last the Winter. Dad and Mother loved Christmas, as their children do as we take time to enjoy family, and reflect on the real meaning of Christmas. God came to earth to live with sinful mankind. He was a baby like us with one exception; He was sin free and came to set us free, He showed us the way, the old rugged cross, He endured the torture and the awful weight, the weight o

CHRISTMAS: It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas, let our hearts joyfully sing, God sent His Son to earth, His gift of salvation to bring, as a babe in a manger, not as a mighty king. Christmas is not Santa Clause, or tinsel hanging on a tree, Christmas is the gift of God’s Son, salvation for you and me. Christmas is not Frosty the snowman, or Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, It’s the celebration of Jesus birthday, the beginning of God’s salvation plan. It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas, let our hearts joyfully sing, those good old Christmas carols, proclaiming the birth of Jesus, they so joyfully bring. ~Winston Staples May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love. ~Ada V. Hendricks Wishing you a joyous Christmas as we reflect upon the birth of our Savior! The thing we must not forget is the reason that Jesus was born; His purpose was to sacrifice His life that we would through His blood have a way back into th
