Annette](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Seasons_Spring.gif) Genesis 8:20-22   From the time of Noah, God's promises have been true. My one hope is to press into the Father of All Creation, the Lord God Almighty of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Prophets, for He is the Word of Life and from the Beginning. Holy, righteous and just and there is no truth outside of Him. May the Lord Be Praised Forever!  ~Kenword~   ![Merit Badge in Inspirational W G

Unforgettable, Beautiful and An Excellent Wife A mother, in Proverbs 31, admonishes her son to find for himself the "Excellent Wife." Mom, of course, takes all of the guess work out of who she she is considering for her son. She itemizes all of the traits an "Excellent Wife" must possess, and one may wonder what kind of a miracle is this extraordinary person! But of all the "Excellent Wife's" cherished characteristics, this, in my experience, is the most vital for a peaceful, prosperous, life: Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 31:10 -14 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.” My precious wife J, is truly a gift from God. J is the "Excellent Wife" of Proverbs 31. She could have prodded and pushed me to come up to her standards for being the "perfect husband." Instead she served me, loved me, and sowed words of kindness and encouragement until God helped me become the priest and king of our household. J has been my greatest, most faithful friend, and I truly would not be whom I am today if not for her prayers and steadfast love. It was this week 48 years ago at a celebration of her twenty-first birthday, that I fell in love with J and committed my heart and life to her. Like all love stories ours is filled with both joys and sorrows. But today, we celebrate an Old Year Passing and a New Year Beginning more in love now than ever before! ~Kenword~ ♫~ Kenword~♫ (101@100513)_(101x2@030614)__________ (YCM_@122313) (Recognition 300 11.29.22) {/b} |
Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee! The Church was established in the joy of God's promises made to the Great Father of the Nation of Israel, Abraham. O yes. Consider where Abraham took his son, and the intervention God made on behalf of a Nation that had yet to be realized. Genesis 22:9 - 14 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” From that point in history, centuries of mankind living and dying, up to this very moment in time, there has been a war for the souls of man. Man, corrupted by sin and condemned to die an eternal death for that sin could find no relief despite religious fervor to relieve themselves of the toxicity of iniquity. God Himself, as Abraham declared, is the One to provide the relief. He gave His own Son, even as the Ram in the Thicket, to take the sins of the world upon Himself, and offer an eternal home with Him, free from the toxic affects of sin's paralyzing corruption. For those who believe, those that have taken Jesus' free gift of salvation, now is the time of Joy! Joy! Joy! For everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord Jesus will be saved. Not just in this season of Joy and Light, but in every season in which God lays out before us all of nature that continually proclaims His Wonders and His Love! Joy! Joy! Joy! ~Kenword~ ♫~ Kenword~♫ (101@100513)_(101x2@030614)__________ (YCM_@122313) |
| The promise was pronounced weeks ago it seems. And to the forecaster's credit there were a few drops every other day or so. Some sun, then clouds, a promise, drops on the tin part of the upper chimney. Oh, then it, sweet water, glorious rain, slipped across my waking dreams...waking my imagination, my delight. Rain! Straight down it...wasn't blowing from the north or the south. No lightning or thunder. But thick, gorgeous drops of sky water, falling hard, steady. The earth slurped at the juice, too thirsty to care that the clouds were laughing, mocking at how greedy it's vegetation seemed, glad to be once more, glad to have roots and half dead shoots. Even the dormant bushes and trees, sleeping in the upright way God intended, were stirred in their earth bed for a moment, surprised to feel trickles of water filter down through the rock where their napping fibers shivered. Feel the earth fill up with the heavenly brooks. From the citadel where I do my work and pray, I hear the promise of children dancing to the bouncing rhythm; in the tender, loving drumming of water gorged spores. Hear songs celebrating springs alive once more, crawling across the draught scourged landscape; "Give us a tune, mighty rain storm and we will dance in the new strains of music you create." Then the lovers will step out into the wondrous showers filled with joy and life, hand in hand they will stroll to the blissful rhythm lost in the beauty of reawakened souls. ~Kenword~ ♫~ Kenword~♫ (101@100513)_(101x2@030614)__________ (YCM_@122313) (Recognition 300 11.29.22) |
The Church, the body of Christ, that lives by the teachings of Jesus, the Son of God, stands stronger today than ever before. Even when the teachings of Jesus is rejected, scorned, and scoffed at by former believers; and even when thousands of false "evangelical" teachers arise. The One True Church of an awesome in power God, shines as a great beacon of hope and mercy for those who suffer in loneliness, hopelessness and despair. Never be ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the hope of salvation to a lost and dying world. To the Church this awesome reminder from James 5:7-11 Patience in Suffering 7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. Amen. ~Kenword~ ♫~ Kenword~♫ (101@100513)_(101x2@030614)__________ (YCM_@122313) |
