December 7

Greetings: God bless you this day!

Today marks the seventieth Anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Be sure to fly your flag today.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

As a former nurse in ICU, I have had to deal with a lot of life

and death issues. In spite of our belief system, all of us struggle

with sickness, disease, stress disorders, aging bodies and eventually

death. We pray for healing to the day we die, because it brings a ray

of hope. Let us make every day count, instead of counting down every

day. (Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

For me to live is Christ. Philippians 1:21

In other words, If we're just waiting to die, we're dead already.

We need to LIVE until God calls us home!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Who knows how far your prayers will reach?

(Vantage Point Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

The prayer of a righteous man/woman is powerful

and effective. James 5:16

Prayer is powerful. You may feel that health, or other

circumstances keep you from serving as you would like,

however being a prayer-warrior is the most powerful

way you can serve and the weakest of us can PRAY!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Think about where there is darkness in your life... ask

God to be your light, and shine in that dark place.

(Daily Christmas Devotional-Rose Richardson)

SCRIPTURE:

The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light,

those who lived in a land of deep darkness-on them light

has shined. Isaiah 9:2 (NRSV)

The birth of Jesus brought light into a world of darkness.

However we must follow that light or walk in darkness.

(The choice is ours)

December 4

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

It's not every day that we find someone that will

give you a second chance-much less someone who

will give you a second chance every day. But in

Jesus, Peter found both. (Max Lucado)

SCRIPTURE:

Peter ask, "Shall I forgive my brother up to seven times?"

Jesus answered, "I tell you not seven times, but seventy

times seven times." Matthew 18:21-22

How good are you at passing out second chance? Jesus was

a Master at it!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

December 3

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

God's presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.

(Our Daily Bread)

SCRIPTURE:

I will never leave you or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

What a comforting statement!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

December 2

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

The peace of God is a promise for you today. Claim

it, speak it and live it. Throw off the distractions of

illness, financial loss, negative comments and self-

condemnation. And let the peace of Christ dwell in

you richly. All things of earth will pass away, but your

security for eternity is fixed. So fix your eyes on Jesus.

Cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you.

(Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

And the peace of God which transcends all understanding

will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

What does Paul mean? "Transcends all understanding." I think

he means human reasoning and understanding. If we try to

reason out salvation and the hope of heaven from a human stand

point... we begin to doubt!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this dy!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

We nurture love by sharing it with others. We want

love to grow... we show love. We demonstrate love,

by loving others. And here's the good part (the more we

demonstrate it, the more we shall pull it out of others.)

Let's get more love growing in our homes, our neighborhoods,

our communities. Start at home with hugging and smiling and

gentle words.( Ellie Brown Haley-Christian Voices.)

SCRIPTURE:

Dear children let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions

and in truth. 1 John 3:18

And another place to start with love, our churches... our collective body

that meets together must love each other to be effective in the neighborhood

and in our communities.

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings- Freda
