“DUSTY BIBLES ALWAYS LEAD TO DIRTY LIVES.” – Author Unknown

“There can never be a really happy home if there is trouble in the kitchen. – R. W. Foot

Do I really understand the meaning of what the cross stitch says and what Mr. Foot says about the kitchen? I don’t know.

But I know that there is lots of trouble in the homes of today. Why is that so?

There is so much EATING OUT today.

First of all: The family is not sitting any longer three times a day around the kitchen table.

Secondly: There are still familes sitting around the kitchen table, but is the father reading from the Bible and praying as it was once the custom?

Please tell me if you think I am on the wrong track.

Is there not the saying:

“FAMILIES THAT PRAY TOGETHER STAY TOGETHER”?

In The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ pamphlet I picked up at Specsavers New Zealand (Optometrists) I read, “….committed to eradicating avoidable blindness…”

What is The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ?
“The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ is a Kiwi charity committed to eradicating avoidable blindness in some of the world’s poorest countries. We work in places where four out of  five people who are blind could see again, if only they had access to treatment.”

The New Zealand charity is committed to eradicating avoidable PHYSICAL blindness.

But there is also SPIRITUAL blindness. We are reading about SPIRITUAL blindness in the Bible, the Word of the Living God. (Isaiah 59:10; Matthew 6:23; Matthew 15:14; Second Corinthians 3:14; Second Corinthians 4:4)

“BLINDNESS OF SINNERS.

Naturally we are-

blind to our condition before God, to the beauty of Christ, to the grace of God, to the things of the Lord, to the presence of Christ, to the need of the new birth, to the evil around.” – 1000 New Bible Readings by Dr. F. E. Marsh, page 33.

I WANT TO BELONG TO THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO ERADICATING SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS!

What about YOU?

Started reading the book : THE CASE FOR CHRISTMAS by Lee Strobel. (A Journalist Investigates the Child in the Manger)

On my monitor screen I am reading:

“Start your day with

weather.com

and make your

local forecast

your homepage!”

I am starting my day with the Bible, the Word of the Living God and with prayer and the promises of the Living God are already written on my homepage (frontpage).

Go to GOLDEN NUGGETS on this blog and read some of the promises!

First John 1:9

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

“Jesus’  College is the only one in which God’s truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ’s alone can show us how to believe it.” – C. H. Spurgeon

Story told by Mr. McCully at Grace Church, February 18,1959.

A few years ago Nehru of India visited the U. S. A. and requested the pleasure of visiting Einstein who was probably the greatest brain that ever lived. Request granted. They talked of politics, travel, etc., and then Nehru said,  “Mr. Einstein, the question that I came to ask is this,  Have you found the meaning of life?”  Einstein bowed his head and replied, “No, I have not found the meaning of life.”
