" HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR ! "

The good Lord has blessed us with another new year! A year of new beginnings and new endings. A year of new opportunities. New places. New faces. New lessons. New blessings.
A fresh start. A do-over. A clean slate. A chance to regroup. Turning over a new leaf.

A little Birdie told me this is going to be your best new year ever!

Let go and get rid of whatever hinders you.

2Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become NEW."

The New Year brought with it a beautiful ice storm and a blanket of snow. The storm coated tree branches with icicles that  glittered like diamonds dripping off a wealthy woman's wrist in the sunshine!

Revelation 1:16

"His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance."

 

God wants to shine His face on you!

 

 

Isaiah 43:19

"Behold, I will do a new thing! ...I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.

Our Father in Heaven knows what you are going through. He knows you feel like you have no where to turn. Right this minute He is orchestrating a way out for you. He is making a road to lead you home and He will refresh you with rivers of living water in the midst of your desert.

 

Angel and the sheep loved munching on the shiny , frozen , crunchy  grass and branches .

Psalm 68:13
" Even while you sleep among the sheep pens, the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold."

Lambchop stopped by to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(Yes, she is standing in my living room! ...Ask my Husband:)

 

 

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR! MAY IT BE YOUR BEST BLESSED YEAR EVER!

Smile God loves you! He really does!

 

Lamentations 3:22-23

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

" LIGHT OF THE WORLD "

For many, the celebration of Christmas  has come and gone.
For those of us who know Jesus as our personal savior the celebration continues daily into eternity.
                                                                 John 8: 12

When Jesus spoke to the people, he said "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

                                                                                  

"Let the light of your face shine on us."
Psalm 4:6

The Christmas light display in our home town park inspired me to think of some of the ways that the Lord has been "The Light" to me during dark times in my life.

" A BRIDGE OF LIGHT"

 

When I was lost in darkness on a road to nowhere Jesus became a "Bridge of Light" for me and set my feet on a safe path.

 

When I had nowhere to go Jesus became my safe shelter and my "House of Hope"

 

 

When I finally let go and gave it all to him, Jesus took the wheel.

 

 

Born in a stable , Jesus became my Lord and Savior !

John 1:14
"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."





John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son...that whosoever believes in Him shall not parish but have eternal life."

 

 

 

HALLELUJAH!

WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN ?

 WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?       

They came to  the front door covered in their filthy sin .........dirt and mud in this case.  : ~)

 

The Leader of the pack: JUDAH
 

The Follower : JOY


It started out innocent enough. It was fun. We enjoyed it for awhile. Then it started growing. It became a habit. And before we knew it , the sin had taken over. Covered us in it's dirty filth, shame and guilt and we didn't know how we would ever be clean again.

When we cry out to our Heavenly Father he will come and wash us clean and give us a fresh new start.  An "Extreme Makeover" !

"THE FATHER CLEANING UP HIS CHILDREN"

GOD FORGIVES US AND WASHES AWAY OUR SINS FOREVER!


" HE SAVED US, NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY. HE WASHED AWAY OUR SINS, GIVING US NEW BIRTH AND NEW LIFE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT."

Titus 3:5

"WHITE  AS  SNOW"


" COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER," SAYS THE LORD, " THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, I WILL MAKE THEM  AS WHITE AS WOOL."
 
ISAIAH 1:18

God loves us so much he doesn't see us as the messy lumpy clay vessel  sinners that we are , but he sees us as the cleaned up beautiful finished vessel that we can be.
The only way that can happen is to ask our Father to wash us clean and give us a new life with him.
