3 Kinds of Faith mentioned in Rev.14:12

 " 'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.' Rev. 14:12.

The company here mentioned not only have the patience of the saints, they not only keep the commandment, but they have 'the faith of Jesus'; that is, they have the same faith that Jesus had. They not only have faith in Jesus, they not only hold Jesus as the object of their faith, but also, As Doctors Wordsworth Wordsworth and Bleek translate, and as is noted in the Variorum Bible, they have the faith taught by Jesus."



~ M.L. Andreasen in his book "The Faith of Jesus" pg.18 copyright 1939

This is the book I am currently reading. I just have to say these older books are SO good. I wish they were available to more people. That is one reason I share these awesome little tidbits with you all here on my blog. It's just me way of getting these precious messages out for the world to see. May God bless you all in a special way. :O)

Freebie Friday!

 So for todays Freebie Friday I will just have to tell you about it because I haven't gotten photos. 

Today's Freebie Friday is about the free tomato plants that have voluntarily came up - 2 in my beet patch - an area that I had grown some tomatoes in last year and 1 in an area that had other tomatoes growing this year. Yay for free tomato plants! I hope it is the tomatoes of the large cherry tomatoes I had last year!! 

So I planted a corn patch - it is NO doing well- out of about 50 plants only about 10 have come up and not in a patch that will help them grow well - so about to just give up on that idea for this year - thankfully I have an idea for next years patch to do better! Anyway so I moved the voluntary plants to the corn patch and will be able to grow them there! Thankful to have that space - even if it means no corn for this year. 

Now I am off to run errands. I hope you all have a great day! :O)

Time In God's Word...Daily

 "Biblical doctrines rightly understood will always affect our practical life,

and practice and lifestyle must always be informed by Scripture."

Ekkehardt Mueller in his book Come Boldly to the Throne~ Sanctuary Themes in Hebrew

Just another great reason for us to spend time in the Word of God daily.
Something for us to ponder.

Don't Wreck Your Witness

 At the beginning of March I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned. Since I had been having issues with grinding my teeth - they ended up fitting me for a mouth guard at the end of my appointment. I paid my part of it and was told it would probably take a couple of weeks to come in. 

Fast forward a month later- since I had not heard anything from the dentist office about my mouth guard - I decided to call in and ask about it. First I asked how long it should take and sure enough she said about 2 weeks - so I explained the situation with her that it had now been over a month and I had not heard anything at all. She then told me that they had tried to contact me. Well the truth is that we have caller ID and answering machine and NO we had not gotten any phone calls from them - nor had they tried to contact us through our cell phones - which they do to remind us about appointments. I was not too happy about not only not being called about it being there and ready to be picked up but also about the fact that instead of just saying sorry they had not called - she proceeded to lie. We then set up an appointment for me to go pick it up. I had been pretty upset about it and had thought about putting in a complaint about it when I went in for my appointment. 

Well the day of the appointment came and thankfully I decided NOT to mention it because as I talked to the dental assistant - I realized that my witness would have been wrecked had I gotten ugly about it. This situation was a very good reminder to me that I need to remember that whether I know it or not - my behavior is a powerful demonstration of who I am. It can also negate any positive influence I may have when I allow myself to get ugly with people. So I wanted to share this experience with you all as a reminder and also as a reminder for myself as well. :O)

By the way - I have an appointment with a Cardiologist this morning - I would really appreciate it if you would keep me in your prayers. I am nervous about it. Thank you so much! :O)
