Holiday Happenings

Hi to all of my sisters in Christ! I can hardly believe Christmas is near. My family and I had a very nice Thanksgiving and I hope yours was blessed, too. We have so much to be thankful for! Whether in plenty or in poverty, the Lord provides for his own. I love this wonderful bible verse: I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Psalm 37:25 Since we have no extended family near where we live, some good friends of ours invited us to spend Thanksgiving day with them. They provided a delicious turkey, dressing and potatoes we brought green bean casserole, 3 pies, and some  Jalapeño  poppers (for later in the day). After our meal, we watched a little football and then played some games until everyone got hungry again and then warmed up some leftovers for a little dinner. We had such a nice day with our friends and thanked the Lord for bringing them into our lives.

Slander and Estrangment

slander  | ˈslandər |  noun   the  action  or crime of making a false spoken statement  damaging  to a person's reputation; a false and malicious spoken statement. verb  [  with  obj.  ]  make false and damaging statements about (someone) :  they were accused of slandering the head of state . If you've even experienced slander (false accusation) you're not alone. It is painful and sad. But an important thing to remember is that the slanderer is the sad one. If American court systems take issue with libel and slander, what must God think of it. It's not surprising when someone outside of faith might slander others, but when it's someone within the church, it is disturbing indeed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. James 1:25 What you do and say and how you live, speaks of whom you obey. The life of a Christian is carried out through the evidence of faith.  Fait
