Here On My Knees

I found this in an old notebook today. I thought I would share it.

Here on my knees, I wonder why we have to look at the same moon in two different places. I wonder what God's plan is keeping us apart. He must still be preparing us for a life time of companionship.

I wonder if our kids will have blue eyes or brown. I wonder how it will feel when we tuck them into bed and hear their goodnight prayers. I guess I'll have to wait, here on my knees.

There are days when I feel that I am all alone. I just want to feel your gentle touch and see the sparkle of love in your eyes. But here on my knees, I know that God has a greater plan than mine.  And He will answer in His perfect time.

I am here on my knees, waiting to see your face. I am here on my knees, wanting to hold your hand. I am doing my best not to rush God's perfecting timing. I'm trying to learn patience and contentment. God is teaching and molding me, as I'm here on my knees. He is helping me to become a woman that will please Him and be able to perform the role of a woman in a relationship.

Here on my knees, I will stay until you are brought into my life.

What I Can Learn from Christmas and Symbols of Christmas 

1. Trust - The shepherds had to trust what the angels told them on that first Christmas night.

2. God is always protecting us - He sends angels ahead of us and goes with them Himself

3. Lights - Walk in the Light God gives us

4. One day we will be in Heaven with the angels.

5. We are white as snow

6. God knows what’s best. - We wouldn’t think that sending a baby was the best way to save the world.

7. We are to reflect God’s love just like the bulbs on the tree reflect the lights.

8. We are to “connect” as a team just as the beads connect to go around the tree.

9. Lights - We are the light of the world.

10. Our sights should be upward just as the tree branches point upward.

11. Jesus can really see if we are good or bad

12. God gave us the greatest gift - LOVE

13. God is always with us

14. Ice - Watch out for the tricks of Satan, so we don’t slip and fall.

15. Christmas Music - reminds us to praise the real meaning of Christmas.

What do I think of when I think of Christmas? I think of family gatherings, opening presents, going home, sledding on my aunt’s hill. But mostly I think about that night in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. When we think of that night most of the time we think about a quiet night when the whole world was silent just waiting for the Savior to be born, but in reality according to the Bible it was the exact opposite. Bethlehem was buzzing with frustrated travelers that were not happy to be in the town. You see the Savior was the last thing on their minds, they just wanted to pay their taxes put their name in for the census and get back home. Only a few select people actually saw Jesus that night. Mary Joseph the shepherds and maybe the innkeeper’s wife or servants. 

As we celebrate the season, let us not forget to become silent and worship the true meaning of Christmas. For without Jesus Christ, where would we be today?  

My testimony

I found this video. I love this song.

Christmas thought

Luke 2
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Did the angel really realize what he was saying when he said Fear not? Did he realize that the Savior of the world would make it possible to face our past, present, future, and even death without fear? Jesus came to free us from our past mistakes, failures, and things that other people have done to us. Jesus doesn’t want us to live in constant fear that we will make the same mistakes again. Does he want us to stop what we are doing and evaluate what we did. Yes, but He doesn’t want us to be afraid of taking a step out on faith, because we took that step the last time and failed to complete the job or it just didn‘t seem to work out. He wants us to overcome the times when people have done us wrong in the past. Does this excuse what that person did to us ? No, it does not.

Jesus made it possible for us to live in the present. He wants us to be able to live life fully even if it is just taking one step at a time. He is there to carry us when we don’t feel that we can’t take another step. We don’t have to be afraid, because we can have the confidence that He will carry us through.

Because He lives we can face the future. We don’t have to be in constant fear of what might happen to us. Jesus goes before us. He said that He wouldn’t put on us anything that we couldn’t handle with His strength to help us. We don’t have to be afraid of death. For as Christians, we know that death will bring us face to face with the One that we serve.

The King of kings and Lord of lords was born in a manager, died on a rugged cross, and rose again on the third day, so that we might have life and see Him and our loved ones that have gone on before us. So this Christmas season remember that the Babe that was born in the manager is standing right beside you and I , ready to help us overcome what ever has happened in the past, what we are struggling with right now or what we are about ready to face. FEAR NOT, For Emmanuel is near!

My God

Here is a reminder of how strong and faithful our God is
