Every Day Is Thanksgiving Day! + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For The Workmen Of Life!

 

Every Day 

Is 

Thanksgiving Day! 

Every Day Is The Day To Pray 

And 

Give Praise And Thanks 

For The Gifts Of Perfect Love That 

We Constantly Receive

And 

To Be Grateful For Heavenly Grace 

From The God Who Sacrificially Loves Us 

Even Though We Often Live Lives 

Which Merit Us Being Among 

The Cast-Out Disgraced! 

Beloved, 

No Matter How Perceived-Small The Gift

No Matter How Allegedly-Late Its Receipt

No Matter That The Gift Received 

Is Not 

The Gift That Your Carnal Heart Desired

Let Us Ever Remember That 

All Good And Perfect Gifts Are From The Holy Hand Of 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Maker And Savior

Redeemer And Forever Friend

The King Of Glory! 

Let Us Cultivate The Habit Of Saying 

"Thank You, Dear Lord!" 

And 

Even More So Now In This Time Where Disease 

Is 

Deftly Trying To Take Our Loved Ones Away! 

Brethren, Beloved

Let Us Use This Day Of Giving Thanks 

To Draw Closer To Our Creator

Our Friends And Family

And 

Let Our Foes Help Us To Lean Thankfully 

On The Love That Will Never Let Us Go! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart 

And 

Decide This Day That From Righteous Living 

Never, Ever, To Depart! 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Father

For Your Myriad Blessings

On Us Children!

Thank You For Giving Unto Us

Our Beloved Savior

Your Only Begotten Son

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Father,

Please Forgive Us

For The Many Times That

We Act As Those Ungrateful

And

Use Language That Is

Utterly Thankless

And

Truly Tasteless!

We Thank You, Dear Father

For The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Our Spared Lives

The Roofs Still Over Our Heads

And

The Sumptuous And Daily Food

Liberally Provided For Our Tables!

Though We Do Not Desire

To Feel Pressured

Or Experience Problems

Or To Be Ill

Or Financially Embarrassed

Lord,

Even For These Few Trials

We Give You Grateful Thanks

And

Heartfelt, Unfeigned, Praise

Because

These Workmen Cause Us To Hasten

To Your Throne Of Grace

Where We Will Find

Unmerited Favor

From Your Holy Hand

To Help Us In Our Time Of Need!

Oh, Love, That Will Not Let Us Go

We Are Grateful And Thankful That

You Are The Holy God Known Faithful

And

We Ask You, Please

To Help Us To Rest Our Weary Souls

Our Daily Dying Bodies

Our Unbearable Burdens

Our Terrible Tests And Trial

Upon Your Strong, Loving, Unfailing, Arms!

Please Help Us

Even As We Pray

To Not Just Share Burdens And Trials

But

To Share Our Joys

And

To Rest And Abide In Your Love

To Be Refreshed

For The Sure Battles Ahead!

Thank You, Lord

For The Unspeakable Gifts

Most Of Which

We Don't Even Know That 

We Have Received:

We Bow In Worshipful Adoration!

Please, Dear Lord

Help Us To Draw Closer To You

To Live For You

And

If We Are So Called

To Die For You:

You Have Promised

To Raise Up Your Faithful Children

In The Glad Day Of Reunion!

We Trust You At Your Holy Word!

Please Take Our Hands

Please Hold Our Hearts

Please Bless Our Lives

And

Please Give Unto Us

Time And Time Again

More Reasons

To Give You Our Willing Praise

And

Grateful Thanks

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead! 

We Love You!

AMEN. 

Drink Your Lemonade!

 

Let's Praise Almighty God 

Despite Our Problems 

And 

Truly Trust Him For His Saving, Protecting 

Providential Care!

 

Let's Also Say

- When Life Gives You A Good Harvest Of Fat Lemons -

Beg For Sugar

And 

Make Lemonade! 

Beloved, 

While You May Say That That's Cheap And Easy Talk

And 

Nobody Knows How Sour Your Lemon Harvest Was, Is 

And 

Is Projected To Be

Let's All Remember That

- As Members Of The Household Of Faith -

We Are Called To Boldly Taste ... And See ... That 

The Lord, Our God

 Is 

Good

And

Faithful, Loving, Just, Kind

Blessing, Giving, Forgiving

And

Ever Righteous And True! 

Brethren,

We Have A Sure Word In The Volume That 

Is 

The Good Book 

And 

All Who Read It Diligently

Searching For Its Hidden Treasure Sure To Be Found

Know How Our Story Ends! 

We Have The Promise Of New Life

New Name

New Home

Blessed Peace

And 

Pure Love In Our Forever Home! 

I Urge Us All 

To Enjoy Your Life ... In Christ ... Lemons And All

Because

It Is In Him That We Have A Sweet Future 

And 

An Expected End! 

Beloved,

Dare To Live With Your Eye

Your Head

Your Heart

Your Hand 

And 

Your Hope 

Touching

Tasting

Hearing

Feeling

And 

Following Jesus Christ ... Our TrueAnd Only King: 

He Is Your Water And Sugar!

Drink Your Lemonade!

Be At Peace With Your Lord 

Who Is Sweet

And

Perfect Peace! 

FAITH: Trust ... Beyond Human Understanding

CELEBRATING

200,000 Views!!!

Praise The Lord!

The House That Our God

- Jesus Christ The Lord -

Has Built For His People 

Has Faith For Its Lock 

And 

Trust As Its Key! 

Think About It ... 

Faith Says That 

We Believe That Our God

Is 

Who He Says That He Is! 

Trust Says That 

We Are Going To Let Him Do For Us 

What He Says That He Can 

And 

Is Ready, Willing And Able To Perform! 

He Has Published The Good News Abroad! 

Beloved, 

That Leaves Us With A Thought: 

Are We Going To Trust God All The Way 

Or Are We Going To Turn The Key, Our Trust, Halfway 

And 

Find Ourselves Locked Out

Excluded From Our Own Home!?! 

We Have Choices And Chances 

And 

We Have Faith And Feelings: 

How Are You, As A Christian, Making Your Pairings!?! 

Beware ... 

Chances And Feelings 

Are Not For Those Who Have Taken The Lord Of Life

- The King Of Love - 

For Our Eternal Portion! 

Tickets Of Chance Are For Gamblers 

Who Operate On The Feels! 

Firm Choice 

And 

Exercised Faith Are For Those 

Who Willingly Trust Almighty God 

- Known Good And Faithful -

To Bathe Them In His Love, Grace 

And 

Mercy! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Can't Trust The Eternal God Our Savior 

And Also 

Trust Finite Self The Sinner! 

Let Jesus Christ Draw And Color Your Life: 

You'll Beam Forever In His Light Of Love! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Is The Truth: Truth Is Transcendent!

 

A Doubting Christian 

Is

A Danger To Himself 

And 

To The People Of The Great And Glorious God 

Because 

He Is Trespassing On The Enchanted Ground Of Satan

- The Wily God-Fraud -

Who Will Use The Doubting One 

To Sow Doubt In The Hearts Of Others! 

A Bre'k-Down Merchant Don't Care Who 'e Bre'k Down 

Aka Misery Likes Company! 

We Who Choose To Trust The Word Of Our God

- The Living Word That 

Is 

Absolute Truth -

Must Stand On The Holy Word Stated 

Believing Truly That By Its Own Self It Is Interpreted 

And

Will Point Us To

And

Prepare Us For

Our Elevation To The Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise 

And 

Beware, Beware

Of All Who Declare That 

Your Truth Will Get You Into Heaven 

And 

My Truth Will Keep Me Out Of Hell! 

Reject It, Forget It

And

Get Thee Unto The Lord Christ Who, Alone

Is 

The Truth ... The Gospel Truth

Who Alone Will Get Us Safely Home To Our Abba, Our Father

And 

The Heavenly Reward! 

Please Don't Permit Your Ears To Itch 

And

Please Do Not Indulge Humanism

The Idea That Almighty God 

Is 

Unnecessary 

Because 

This Is Idolatry ... A Known Sin! 

Doubt 

Is

Devilish!

Truth

Is 

Transcendent! 

Delight Thyself With The Truth! 

Walk In The Truth Ever Present 

And 

Soon Live The Life Eternal!

THE COMFORTER HAS COME: Humble Yourself In The Sight Of The Lord!

Without The Abiding Presence Of 

The Holy Spirit Of Truth Attending Us

Comforting Us

Teaching Us

And 

Feeding Us The Truth That Saves

Not One Of Us Will Know Aka Experience 

A Peaceful Existence! 

The Lord Jesus Said At His Departure

- After His First Advent -

That He Would Send Us Another Comforter! 

We Would Only Need Another Comforter 

If 

The First One Departed From Being With Us! 

We Would Only Need A Comforter 

If 

We Have Sorrow, Hurt, Shame

A Need That The Comforter ... Alone

Can And Does Heal! 

Beloved, 

Whatever Is Your Need

We Have The Power 

The Leave 

The Permission Of Our Maker

To Ask The Lord 

To Pour Out Of His Sweet Spirit ... By Measure ... Upon Us 

And 

Indwell Us Individually, Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Tiny Terrors

Big Bills

Lost Loves

Failing Finances

Acute Anger

Lurching Loneliness

Worrying Weariness

Or Creeping Compromise 

And 

Gross Greed 

To Stay Your Heart From Humbling Yourself 

Before The Lord Of Love And Life 

To Ask Forgiveness

To Receive Cleansing 

And 

Experience Needed Comfort 

Without Which We Are Just Like Animals 

Awaiting Approaching Death! 

Dare To Choose Peace! 

Call Out And Pray For The Holy Spirit 

And 

Be Comforted

Be At Rest

Because

The Living God Glorious 

Is 

Waiting ... Willing ... Able ... Ready ...  To Help Thee! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

To This Very Day

Still Free!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: DESPISE THE PIERCING SERPENT: Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise!

Loving And Knowing 

The Lord And The Living Word Of The Lord 

Is Not 

A Maybe Or A Perhaps! 

It Is An Imperative ... A Must

If We Are Not To Fall Prey To The Adversary

That Roaring Lion

That Piercing Serpent

Who Is Roaming About 

And 

Seeking For Those Whom He May Devour! 

In A World Full Of Busy Work

Cookie-Cutter Seeing, Doing, And Being

We Each Need To Know 

And

Love Truth For Our Own Selves 

So That We Do Not Make Shipwreck Of 

The Holy Faith Given To The Brethren

The Saints Of God And Christ!

Beloved, 

Dare To Walk In The Light Of Life! 

Stand Up For Truth

Speak Peace 

And 

Endure All That The Adversary Throws In Your Berry Patch! 

Remember Whose Child You Are 

And 

Never Forget That 

You Don't Walk In The Vale Of Tears Alone 

To Be Molested By Whosoever Wills! 

You Are Blessed: 

Remain Faithful! 

You Are Loved: 

Love The Lord, Love The Word, Above All Else! 

The Gift Of Salvation Is Free! 

Let Your Light Shine In The World For A Witness That 

You Know The Word 

And 

Are Personally Known By The Word Of God Who Is God 

And Is 

Life ... Life Everlasting! 

Choose To 

And 

Gratefully Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Your Faith In The Holy God Testify!

The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them! 

The Lies That Men Tell Shall Surely Scald Them! 

The Good That Men Do 

Testifies Of Their Faith In That Holy God That 

Blesses And Keeps Them 

And 

The Truth That They Tell 

Serves To Clean Them

Protect Them 

And

Set Them Apart For Heaven! 

Who Is Good And Faithful

Up To Heaven Shall Surely Rise! 

Who Is Evil And Deceitful

Practicing Lies For Pleasure And Profit

Shall ... With Satan And The Fallen Angels

In The Lake Of Fire Most Assuredly Die! 

Beloved, 

There Is Always Profit 

In Always Doing The Good And The Right 

So Please Do Not Join With Liars And Evil-Doers 

For Supposed Temporal, Earthly, Delight! 

Evil 

Is 

A Ravenous Parasite Within The Heart

A Pus-Filled Stye In The Eye

And 

An Uncontrolled Blight On The Skin Of The Evil-Doer 

Who Carries The Stench Of Death Upon His Person! 

Jesus Christ Calls Us To Life Everlasting

To Good Works

To Walk In Truth And Righteousness

To Live Lives Pleasing In His Holy Sight 

So That In Us He Will Delight! 

Evil-Doers Serve Satan! 

Let Us By Faith

For Grace

With Mercy

Serve The Living God Known Good! 

Walk In The Light ... The Truth!

Living In Truth Is Peace!

How Can Almighty God Forgive Our Sin 

When We Do Not Confess Our Sin!?! 

How Can We Confess Sin 

Which We Refuse To Believe Is Our Very Own!?! 

Surprise, Surprise ... 

Denial Can't Change Truth! 

All Mankind Is Born In Sin 

And 

All Living Are Liars 

So All Of Us Are Sinners! 

That's Bible 101: Book It! 

Beloved, 

It Is Not A Robed, Crowned, Man 

Nor Mankind 

Nor That Damned Satan 

Who Determines What Is Sin 

And 

Designates Who Is A Sinner 

Or What Is Or Is Not The Required Punishment! 

The Lord Jesus 

Is 

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

It Is He Who Wrote The Law 

On The Tables Of Stone For General Moses

And 

It Is He Who Laid Down His Life For Our Lives 

So That We All Have The Opportunity 

To Get Our Hearts Right With Almighty God

Father, Son And Holy Spirit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Indulge In The Prideful Presumption 

Exercised By Then-Lucifer Now-Satan 

By Exalting Your Status In Your Own Mind 

And 

Challenging Your Creator For His Own Throne! 

The Earth Belongs To God Just As We Belong To God! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

 

The Proud And Presumptuous Will Perish

And

The Humble And The Heeding Are Headed To Heaven! 

The Difference Between The Two 

Is 

That The Humble Heart Hears And Obeys The Truth

And 

Prays For Power To Be Penitent Aka Sorry!

Don't Let Pride Pry Paradise Out Of Your Palm! 

There Is No Condemnation

For Those Who Love

The Lord Jesus Christ

And

Live By The Faith That Saves!

Living In Truth Is Peace! 

Truth Is Peace!

OXYMORON: A Lazy Christian And A Good Devil ...!?!

 

 

Our Shepherd Known Good

Is 

The Lord Most High! 

Our Adversaries Are Self, Sin And Satan: 

We Must Vigorously Deny Them! 

Our Mission 

Is 

To Acquire The Character Of Christ 

And 

Preach And Teach The Truth ... The Gospel

- The Good News -

To All The World 

And

Be Ready To Meet The Lord ... Our Beautiful Savior

In Peace! 

We Have Heaven To Gain! 

We Have The Holy Spirit For Our Comfort ... For Our "Use" 

The Holy Angels To Influence Us And Protect Us

And 

The Good Book For Our Compass

School Book

Pillow

Road Map

And 

Blanket, Sword And Shield

And

We Are To Occupy Ourselves Aka Work 

Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

For Your Information ... 

A Lazy Christian ... Just Like A Good Devil

Is 

An Oxymoron 

So Let Us Be Wise Unto Salvation 

And 

Live In The Light Of Life 

And 

Be Light-Bearers 

And 

Salt-Shakers In This Dark And Tasteless World 

Where Neutrality 

And 

Conformity To Abnormality 

Is 

Prized By The Vocal Majority 

And 

The Monied Minority! 

Beloved, 

You Are The Child Of The Glorious King! 

Dare To Live 

And 

Lovingly Labor 

Like You Know And Believe It!

 

Don't Compromise With Sin 

For Neither Rest Nor Riches: 

Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace 

And 

Our Eternal Rest! 

Heaven ... Our Eternal Home

Has Streets That Are Paved With Gold!

Peace!

Precious Pearl OR Picayune Pawn!?!

He Who Truly Loves You

Created You

Saves You 

And 

Redeems You! 

He Who Truly Hates You

Uses Your Self Against You 

Via Pride 

And 

Greed! 

The One Whom You Choose To Obey 

Is 

The One Whom You Serve: 

You Cannot Serve Them Both! 

Both Of Them Desire You In Their Kingdom! 

Only One  Kingdom 

Is 

Eternal 

And 

Those Who Enter The Eternal Kingdom 

Live By Faith ... Never Sight

Because 

They Are In A Reasoning, Loving 

Knowing ... Always Growing

Grace-Filled, Mercy-Abounding

Enduring Love-Relationship With Their Master! 

Those In The Temporary Kingdom 

Are ... By Fierce Temptation

Enticed Into Its Unfruitful Halls! 

They Are Tempted By The Ever-Bold And Wandering Lust Of The Eye

The Always Excitedly-Hissing Serpent Lust Of The Flesh

And 

That Insatiable, Irrepressible Behemoth

The Pride Of Life! 

Beloved, 

We Have To Choose Between 

Grace And Greed

Lust And Love

Truth And Trickery

Blessing And Blight! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

Creator Savior!

Satan 

Is 

Accuser Destroyer! 

To Jesus Christ ... The Righteous King

The Shepherd Of Rest

The King Of Love

The Hope Of Every Man

The Lover Of Your Soul 

The Strong Tower

Our Refuge And Strength

Our Ever-Present Help

The Joy Of Man's Desiring

The Word Of God

Food Indeed

Drink Indeed

And

The Light Of Life

You Are The Precious Pearl: 

He Loves You! 

To Satan ... The Damned

The Adversary Of Souls

The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Piercing Serpent

The Father Of Lies

The Murderer Supreme

And

The Wannabe God

You Are A Picayune Pawn: 

He Hates You! 

If You Say You Love Jesus

Please Keep Yourself Only Unto Him! 

Only Jesus Saves: 

Please Choose Life! 

As A Saint Of God And Christ

Solely Serve The Savior! 

Peace

Is Like

The River Glorious!

Our Free Gifts Cost Innocent Blood!

 

In The Realm Of The Flesh

The Song Is Sung: 

"Yuh Know Wha' Yuh Got! 

Yuh Ain' Know Wha' Yuh Goin' Get!" 

This Is Often The Lie 

For There Are Things Received That 

Even With The Passage Of Years

They Do Not Tell The Truth 

Until Someone Gets Tired

And 

Someone Gets Hurt! 

Beloved, 

The Love Of God

In The Word Of God

Is

The Open Book Of Blessings!

In The Economy Of The Living God

And 

In His Dealings With This Mortal Flesh

Our God Announces 

And 

Memorializes 

What He Did

Is Doing 

And 

Will Do For Us ... Individually And Collectively 

And 

We Need To "Belly Up To The Trough"

And 

Ask The Lord Of Life To Help Us Lay Hold Of His Blessed Gifts 

With A Death Grip 

And Also

Help Us To Cease From Permitting Satan 

To Get Between Us And Our Good Gifts 

And 

Our God Holy

Who Gives Us These Great Gifts Of Infinite Love! 

Be Wise ... 

Don't Be Proud! 

Don't Doubt The Giver! 

Don't Trivialize The Gift! 

Don't Underestimate Your Enemy! 

Don't Overestimate Your Strength! 

Don't Ever Forget To Pray! 

And 

Don't Doubt Satan's Hatred For Whom Almighty God Loves! 

Choose Life With Amazing Love ... 

Believe In The Love Of God 

And 

Boldly Let Your Requests For Power

Provision 

And 

Protection Be Known To The Life-Giver! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Our Gifts Cost Innocent Blood! 

Let's Dare ... As Children Of The Living God

- Homeward Bound -

To Hold Our Purchased

And

Forever Blessed Gifts

With Working, Enduring, Faith! 

Without Faith

It Is Impossible To Please

The Eternal God Of Glory!

We Shall Walk Through The Valley

In Perfect Peace!

Chosen, Purchased, Wooed ... And Won!

 

 

Never Doubt Almighty God's Personal Love For You 

And 

Never Be Doubtful As to Whom You Belong! 

Beloved, 

We Are Loved By 

And 

Belong To The Lord Of Life 

Because 

We Were Chosen By His Heart

Purchased By His Blood

And 

Wooed By That Holy Love Which Will Not Let Us Go 

To be Lost To Sin! 

Jesus Christ Ever Willing

The Holy Spirit Ever Working

The Holy Angels Ever Protecting 

And

We ... Seeing Our Need 

And

Realizing Our Personal Peril Outside Of His Safe Fold 

And

Desiring His Love In Our Own Hearts

Our Hands In His

Our Rest In His House

Our Wealth In His Storehouses In Glory

Our Peace In Himself

Our Rest Where He Is

Our Faith Made Sight

And

Our Blessings Made Eternal

Let Us Choose To Cooperate With Christ

- With His Love Divine -

To Be Won To Be Eternally Blessed

And 

Saved! 

Let Us Daily Choose To Wear Our Ownership

Our Belonging

Our Relationship To Our God 

Privately

And 

Publicly 

And 

Passionately! 

Beloved, 

Claim ... And Relish 

The Love That Works At Loving You 

And 

Let No Created Being

Seen Or Unseen

Spirit Or Flesh

Steal Your Joy In Your Lord ... Your Love

The Soon-Coming King! 

Daringly War Against Known Sin: 

Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Pursue Peace With Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace!
