Christmas is a time of Joy and is if Jesus is kept a part of

it. For me it is also a time of sadness as I tend to think of those who will have nothing unwrap on Christmas morning. Especially the little kids. Then also there are the homeless who have nothing all year. Then of course thoughts of those who have much more than they will ever need and share nothing. Just a thought. God bless all.

Good evening Mike, yes alot of mixed emotions, on the one hand we as believers have so so much to be thankful for. pslm 23, I shall not want, and trying to balance that to manny manny who have little, very little, or nothing, but also manny manny with no hope. Ithink i'll say it like you did, may God bless all. a very merry christmas. to you and your family

all those same thoughts have entered our minds as well. Though we would like to make things 'right' we know we are not in control. We can pray for everyone - those with nothing and those with too much - that someday they will know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. If all loved God then this would be a world of things that are right. Those who have been blessed with much would be sharing with those who have nothing.

Guess until everyone knows Jesus and loves God then there will be things that are very wrong in this world.

My prayer is that all would be saved, that all those who have much would give lovingly to those in need, and that this one day will be a world of Christians who have one God and serve only the one true God.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen

but until the end of earth's age as we know it and Jesus comes again to bring peace on earth and good will to men, it's sad to say, it will not be...for there are the poor and there are the greedy...some poor, help other poor as well as some rich do and then there's the poor who rob the poor and the rich...while the rich rob the poor and the rich alike with their greediness for more and more money...for the love of money is the root of all evil!

I'm speaking of the poor as those who work themselves into poor health for the wealthy CEO's and getting cheated out of their retirement pensions and etc. But God gives each person a choice and that is the way they live until knowing Jesus as their own personal Savior, Who makes a new creation out of them, which changes them inside out! For until there is a real heart change....mankind, who are all born sinners, will continue sinning and sinning....some worse than others!

I praise God for giving us the gift of salvation and saving me! I thank Jesus for all He did when it was finished there at Calvary! Our free gift to reach out and accept and have a bright mansion in our Father's Kingdom as our eternal inheritance, where all will be peace, joy and love forever more! Glory Hallelujah....isn't God goooood!!

God Bless!
Betty
