GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING!

Special gifts that keep on giving are few! One such was a Frameo given by son, Josh. It allows pics from kids and their spouses to share pictures with us as they will. 

I don't have to do anything but accept the gift that continues to rotate through the screen to keep me smiling!

Today's snow pictures of youngest grandson did just that.....

......Gave me a happy heart! A Heart filled with peace and love.

The best gift that keeps on giving came to mind as I spent time in God's Word on this "Meditation Monday"---the best free gift to all who believe.

Jesus. 

Scripture gives the prefect picture to help one understand the sacrificial gift God gave through His Son who shed His blood that we might have eternal life in Him! A "white as snow" gift that keeps on giving!  

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, they shall become like wool. (Isaiah 1:18)

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!! LET IT SNOW!

GOD'S WORD FRONT AND CENTER!

Today I was asked to "be prepared" to share my favorite Bible verse along with other members of our "Prayer for Revival" group. For me, that's a tough assignment! I esteem, treasure, hold close to my heart and love every word of Scripture.

But God soon had Jeremiah 15:16 begin to flood my mind, .....

Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts. (ESV)

.......I decided to meditate on it in many scripture versions.

Marginalia results: What a feast!!!

"THY" words found, I ate them, I devoured them, they became a delight; happiness of my heart, gave me joy; jubilation, rejoicing in my heart; with gladness in my heart.

I listened tp every word: swallowed them whole, & they sustained me.

I am called by your name;Yahweh Adonai-Tzva’ot, you had me bear your name., Yahweh Elohim Tsebaoth, O God, God-of-the-Angel-Lord, God of Heavenly Armies!, Lord God All-Powerful, Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; Commander  of hosts, O Yahweh God of hosts, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

Lord God who rules over all. I belong to you. (NRV)
