HAPPY SABBATH + GOBs ... From Almighty God!
















I Don't Know About You
But I Have Come To Realize That Every Day That I Live And Breathe 
Is 
A Day From The Eternal God 
Which Is Filled With GOBs Aka Gifts, Opportunities, And Blessings! 

Why Do I Say This!?! 

Because It Is A Fact Out Of The Preserved Holy Writ 
And
A Real Matter Of Honest Christian Perspective! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made 
So Let Us Rejoice 
And
Be Glad In It 
No Matter What Comes Your Way: 
We Are Not Alone! 

I'm Certain That We All Constantly Hear Our Brethren
- In And Outside Of The Holy Faith - 
Boldly Say: 



"My Alarm Clock Woke Me! 
The Children Woke Me Up!" 


I Invite You To Carry A Screaming Alarm-Clock 
And
A Rambunctious Gaggle Of Sugared-Up Children 
Into That Quiet Place 
And 
Let Them Do The Dog 
And 
See If Anybody Gets Up! 

Beloved, 

Secular And Specious Speech 
In The Mouth Of A Saint Of God And Christ 
Must Surely Be A Sin Against Sense And Sanity! 

Please Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Isn't Our High Priest Jesus Christ The Lord
The King
The Creator-God
And 
Isn't it By His Name 
And 
Through His Power That 
We Make Our Profession!?! 

Aren't All Good And Perfect Gifts, Opportunities, And Blessings 
From Our Lord ... The King Of Glory!?! 

Isn't Our Gift Of Life From The Creator-God!?! 

Shouldn't We Be Glad For Our Opportunity To Be Saved
To Live A Sinless Life Through Christ
And 
To Be Redeemed When The Trumpet Of The Lord Shall Sound!?! 

Gratitude Is A Grace
So Let Us Give Thanks And Praise To Our God Most High! 

Life In And With The Lord Of Life 
Is 
Ever Always Infinitely Blessed And Gloriously Beautiful! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Profitable, Profitable, Unprofitable!

My Master was a harsh man
I know he did not like me at all - I was afraid of him
He was going on a long journey
And he called us managers together and
Gave out Investment Packages
As each had "ability" to "chew":

He gave his Favorite One 5
He multiplied 5 by 2

He gave his Stoolie One 2
He multiplied 2 by 2

He gave me One! ONE!
I steupse ... and
I buried it and stepped on the spot with my shoe!

But ... I Am Getting Ahead of The Tale!

Well, de Master dun gone 'long 'bout 'e business!

Party Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

After All ...

What could I do with a useless portfolio

Everybody knew that in that environment you had to have assets to survive
And Bossman giving me nay-nay investment
Ensured to him I would not thrive!

... Sooo, I "Helped" It Along!


I did didley squat!


And Here's Why:


Bossman was one of those you hear talked of all the time!

The ones who get gain ... but not by putting anything in
And they does pick up all kinds of profits
From where they had not been even investing in!

Why should I waste my valuable time

My beautiful, bountiful, gray matter
Working on what I couldn't foresee profit from?

Why should I even go to the profiteer bankers

And just get back a penny on a big-able pound?!

A Loooooooong Time Passed ...

When I Tell You Long, I's Mean Real Long!

No one was watching me, so
I did what I felt like!
I ran with The Howlies
And I played well into The Night
And on my last night returning what I did behold
Told me a story
Of life in The Hot Coals!

Well, I am now quite ashamed to tell you
Them others did real good for themselves
But that I had seen no point to expending my best effort
On something I knew could would not pay!

I Was Wrong!
Dead Wrong!
ETERNALLY WRONG!!





Well, when His High and Mightiness 
The Master  a/k/a Bossman 
Returned from his Journey
He started settling accounts
From highest to lowest, and
He saw wonderful investment growth!
Amazing Investment Growth ... from He Favorites!

I call them his Favorites because he had given them multiples of the best investments possible!
They were sure to succeed!

Riiigghht?!?

But Me ... Well!!

Of all people, HE called Me, ME, Lazy!
I worked hard at all kinds of programs
And projects and initiatives for him
Not that they were productive ... but I worked!

How 'bout some kinda credit, huh?!

Really!??!

Well, it was like ...
Aaahhhmmm ...
Alright, I kinda, sorta, maybe, probably, thought of and almost tried, and pretended to work ...

Well ...

He called Me Lazy!
He called Me Unfaithful!
And, to top it all off
He called his guards - them big scary ones from WingCo Corps
Who picked ME Up
By the scruff of my neck
And threw me out of the house, and off the premises - it was dark out there!

And Now ...?

And now I have to spend Big Time with
Wicked McGruff
Who tell me in the first place that The Bossman
Ain't had no Snuff!!

AND NOW, I CAN NEVER GO BACK
To T'Absolute Best Master 
I ever hadddd!!

... I can never darken His Door ever, ever, ever again ...

All those years ...
Gone ...
For nuffin' ...
Forever ...
sni .. sni ... sssSnnniiifff ...
Boo hoo hoo!
If onlyyyyyy!
I should haaaave!
I could haaaave!
But, but, butIdidn't!!!
Lordhavemerrrrrrrrrrcyyyyy!
Gimmeachance, gimmeachance!
aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiiiiiii!!


Dear Ones,

We cannot fool God!

He is All-seeing!

He is All-knowing, and

He IS Ever Present!

He has no accountant, and He keeps perfect records!

What The Lord has given unto you is yours to do with as you see fit!

Your gifts are a Trust! 

Do what you will but, remember, there is a time of accounting!

Saying that God plays favorites and gives other people better gifts that what has been given unto you will not hold water, or carry weight!

Each of us has gifts, and if those gifts are exploited for the Glory and Elevation of The True and Living God, when He settles His Accounts with us, His Stewards, we will all be rewarded based upon what we have done to bless God and others!

Do not blame God for neither your mercenary nor impecunious use of His Blessings.

He gave you the best "deal," and He is fully expecting R.O.I!





Since we cannot not pay Caesar i.e., Death and The Tax Man, take time to pay God who gives to All liberally! 

We are not our own property, and God does not require usury from us!

Remember: 


Cheap Service 
Prejudiced Service
Pretentious Service

and


Service Lacking in Service 

all equal 

No Service!


Please Pray ... and Pass The Word Along!

MARANATHA!

HAPPY SABBATH + Gifts From God!









God gave Her a gift
She treasured it well
She dusted and polished it
And put it high on The Shelf.

God gave Him a gift
He treasured it well
He abused it
Misused it
It tripped him up ... and he fell.

God gave Me a gift
I treasured it well
I used it, and returned it
Polished brightly where it was worn
Out from my Mission
And accompanied with Gain
Attached with The Message:



"Dear Father, I thank You!
I accepted The Gift and
I was bold!
It gave me pleasure for sure
But I was generous!
I took my Gift out of doors and
I entertained and educated!
I comforted The Dear Ones, and I sang Praise!
I lifted up Your Name, Father
On the streets and in the glades, and
I told The Old Story even unto
Singing of New Birth and
I fed Little Children
Even though I oft' got cursed!

I thank You!
I bless You!
I treasured The Gift
And I just want to Praise You for
My work was Heaven Kissed!

I spoke to The Wanderer!
I comforted those in Despair!
I Blessed as I was Blessed, and now
Others hold Your Name Dear!

I have One Favor, Father
To ask You today
If I have been found Worthy
Please Multiply my Gift - I Promise I will Take Care."
