“THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS IS NOT IN THE PRESENTS, BUT IN HIS PRESENCE” – Seen on a Christmas Card

“CHRISTMAS IS NOT AS MUCH ABOUT OPENING OUR PRESENTS AS OPENING OUR HEARTS.” – Janice Maeditere

HEART

“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” – Desmond Tutu

At the present time I am reading again that certain things are not enough.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do,” says the German poet JW von Goethe, who lived from 1749-1832.

Long ago I read in the Bible that hearing is not enough; we must practice. The Lord Jesus Christ says that in the gospel of Matthew. In  Matthew 7:24-27 we find the story about two builders, the Wise builder and the Foolish builder.

First Corinthians 13:4 “Love is patient, love is kind.”

Hear what the Bible says: The Bible says, “Follow the way of love …” What is love? Hear again what the Bible says: “Love is patient, love is kind …” What is patience? “Patience: The ability to count down before blasting off!” A Church sign said some time ago: “Lord, give us patience, but hurry!” And only today I read the following: “KINDNESS MAKES YOU THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON, NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.”

We have learned quite a bit about the things that are not enough, therefore, let us apply, let us practice, let us do. Only today I read in a Hunting & Fishing catalogue at least twice “OUT THERE DOING IT.”

“DON’T WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE.” – Seen today

“THE BOOKS OF BOOKS” (The Bible)

Finished reading the Bible from cover to cover yesterday (12. 12. 2016).

Started at the beginning of this year (01. 01. 2016)

And I read every word!
