Christmas?

I found the below statement in one of this months Our Daily Bread and it really fits for today's meaning of Christmas.

Many people today make the mistake when they hear the word Christmas. They don't think of Jesus and His miraculous birth. Instead, they think of family gatherings, festive meals, decorations, and gifts. To them, Christmas brings nostalgia and memories of childhood.

Now, all this celebration isn't wrong. But if that's all that Christmas means to us, we are missing its true significance. The real meaning of this special day is summed up in the words of the angel to the shepherds on that night long ago: "I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:10-11).

Christmas surely should not be good if you don't know Jesus Christ as your hope.

Don't celebrate Christmas without inviting the Guest of honor.

Peace Doves

We raise solid white Doves to display at weddings, funerals, etc... and we also raise solid white Rock Doves which are homing pigeons we release at wedding, funerals, etc... they will return home to their loft after we release them.

I let our Rock Doves out the other day and as I opened the loft to let the birds fly free I had a young bird that had never flown before going out for it's first flight of freedom. As it took off into the air a hawk swoop down and grabbed it and carried it off.

What a site. The anger boiled out of me before I could stop it. The hawk did not get a good grip and had to land with the dove about 100 yards away. I ran to help the dove and scared the hawk away. The dove seemed to be OK as I did not see any apparent injuries. I put the dove back in the loft and checked on it each day.

But about a week later while feeding the birds I found the bird dead on the loft floor.

This gave me a peek as to what sin could look like. It swoops down on the young and innocent leaving it's unnoticeable damage. Then if one does nothing to stop it, it will quickly leave you dead.

Dead to the things of God, also it would leave you physically dead such as AID does.

Well just a my thoughts after this event in my life this past week.

True freedom is found in serving Christ.

The sting of death is sin . . . . But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. —1 Corinthians 15:56-57

Tiki

We we bought Black-capped Conure yesterday and named it Tiki. We are getting use to him and he is getting use to us.

It is very comical and likes to roll on the bottom of the cage like a puppy.

I am now in my late 40’s and am just not starting to appreciate all the wonderful animals God has given us to enjoy. I had always taken them for granted and did not pay much, if any attention to them.

I am also starting to plant trees and gardens. I think God is just changing me. I thank you Father God for showing me all the beautiful things you have given us.

I am looking forward to when the earth will be like it was before the fall of man.
Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ for providing us the way of salvation!
