Together

Christmas reminds us

that God's promises

never fail -

He came to us,

to provide the way.

for us to be,

together forever with Him

right now

But God, who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us

together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together

in heavenly places

in Christ Jesus:

That in the ages to come he might shew

the exceeding riches of his grace

in his kindness

toward us

through Christ Jesus    ephesians 2:4-7

Merry Christmas!~! every single day :)

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. romans 15:13

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1 peter 1:8

"...Sin is powerful, even for those who have been reborn. 

Grace, however, is more powerful still. 

This is a true and trustworthy saying, that Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of which I am the chief
 (I Timothy 1:15). 

To diminish the power of grace is to diminish the scope of our own sin. Jesus, after all, didn’t come to save the polite, well-behaved people. He came to save His own, and gave them first repentant hearts."    blog by rc sproul jr

why do I keep drumming the message of Christ Jesus?  because I know that without Jesus Christ as Saviour there is no life, and only the wrath of God awaits those who reject Him,  and that eternity is forever, and each and every one of us will stand before Lord Jesus Christ (even those who don't believe now),

and that the folks I love through  embroidery and blogging must realize we all need the Saviour! what I am called to do - PREACH the gospel : "...we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 corinthians 5:20-21

A Couple More Ornaments

Actually every day is Christmas and I can celebrate, every single day...why postpone His JOY, that ever lives? :D  I do however, take down the Christmas tree after New Year's ;) more room for celebrating :)

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. isaiah 25:9

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. luke 2:30-32
