WG'S THOUGHTS

SURROUNDED BY ANGELS As sometimes we feel alone Remember we are surrounded by angels, like those around God’s throne. When we feel helpless, We are surrounded by angels, God has sent to bless. When we need a message from a gospel tune, We are surrounded by angels in our room, and when we need encouragement remember, we are surrounded by angels, Glorious Angels God has sent. Yes, when we feel gloom, Don’t forget, We are surrounded by angels, surrounded by angels in our room. ~WINSTON STAPLES

CHRISTMAS ON THE CREEK! I am remembering the days, yes, special days of youth, those Christmas days, when all the young men, would get together to play, play hockey on the creek. They came from both sides, North and South; there was Gerald, Frank, Wayne, two different Dons, Wid, Minard, Ronald,Gerald McLean,Eldon, my brother Lowell and I; We played all day and made memories, some good and some sad; we laughed, shared jokes, got mad, but all were glad, we had spent another, Christmas Day on the creek! ~Winston Staples

As I look, at the rushing brook, I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”. As I look, at the forest green, I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”. As I look, at the mighty pines, I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”. As I look, at the majestic hills, I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”. As I look,at the everlasting skies, I sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”. ~Winston Staples

5  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his ...

Luke 2:10,11  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,  I bring you good tidings, of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Our Cabins When my wife and I go for drives in the country, we are delighted when we see a lovely log cabin. The view of these lovely cabins takes me back in my thoughts to the pioneer days. The pioneers traveled far, traveled slow and worked hard. Their cabins were not fancy or brightly painted, there was no landscaping done, no lawns to mow; that might have been a good thing. They built their cabins by the sweat of their brow. These cabins were not much by our standards today but to them it was their castle; it was their life or death in the harsh winter. Yes, they were hard working people, people with high moral standards, standards which this country was built on. We, as a nation need to return to and use these moral standards today; let God fill our cabins with His love and build our country on that. Let us put our faith in Jesus and He will build us a home in Heaven, not a simple cabin but a mansion. We read in 2 Cor.5:1 ” For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle ...

Sitting looking out my window pane, everything’s so beautiful and green, being washed and refreshed by the falling rain. A woodpecker is tapping on a dead pine, tap, tap, tap, what a hammering sound; a chipmunk, carrying a piece of bread, scurries across the ground. Yes, as I look out, all nature is alive! Leaves so green, flowers so pretty in blossom everywhere; tells me we have a creator, who really cares. He not only cares for our physical being, and because of His love, He wants our soul to be free, and all His spiritual blessings seeing. Yes, He wants to set us free, from our bondage of sin; He sent Jesus, His only Son, and by His sacrifice, complete victory could be won. ~ Winston Staples
