Thank you God for renewing our lease on this little blue planet.

Thank you God for renewing our lease on this little blue planet. 

We understand that under the house rules, 
we need to give more love,
fighting is not allowed, 
preying on other people is forbidden,
we need to care for the weak, the elderly, the young, the vulnerable...
we know there were many infringements this year
and we thank you for your grace to let us stay on this Earth for another year.

We will strive to improve and be a worthy tenant of your gift.
Food for thought for the New Year
Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe New Year!

But hope does not disappoint

But hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has come in, overflowing our hearts by The Spirit of Holiness Who has been given to us.-Romans 5:5

In this Christmas time, do not forget the love of God that brought his son Jesus Christ to Earth to give us hope and remind us of God's promise of forgiveness to us. Be glad of the most costly present this Christmas which was not wrapped in fancy wrapping paper but in the most simple swaddling cloth.

This Christmas slow down and take a moment to trust and wait

Luke 2:25-26
"Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ."

So we survived the so called "End of the World" yet again. In this modern life we seems to be always eager and rushing for things. Even our eventual demise we seem to be eager to embrace quickly and every year we keep announcing our impending doom.

This Christmas we should take time to reflect on what has gone and what is to come.
To clear our minds of thoughts of doom and gloom
To build our trust in God
And to remember the true meaning of Christmas
That God sent his Son Jesus Christ down to Earth
To give us Hope
And show us his Grace
To give us a sign
That God is in control
And we are in his care
Nothing we do will suffice to redeem ourselves
Everything we have is from God

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD'S wrath

 

 

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD'S wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth.


(Zephaniah西番雅書1:18)
