I hope, I am quoting correctly, what I read today:

“Farmers your Christmas Store” “Christmas Gift Ideas” “Christmas Gifts for HER” “Christmas Gifts for GIRLS” “Christmas Gifts for Boys“

I am also having before me a little booklet from “thewarehouse” called: “christmas gift guide 2008.”

ARE MOST OF US NOT FORGETTING THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL?

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

‘Self – reflection is the school of wisdom.” – B. Gracian

ARE WE SOMETIMES CONFUSING SELF-REFLECTION WITH PRAYER?

Because its mommy had been a wafer so long.

DOES THE HAM HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WTH CHRISTMAS?

Voting is on already even before the 8th of November. You can see the signs in front of the library here in Kaitaia. The signs say ‘VOTING’.

I have ‘voted’* for the Lord Jesus Christ many many years ago.

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT, UNTIL I READ IN THE BIBLE:

Ephesians 1:4 “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world…”

I did not ‘vote’ for the Lord, but he chose me before the creation of the world.

But not only the apostle Paul is teaching about election, but the apostle Peter says in:

First Peter 1:1 ” ……, To God’s elect,….., who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,….”
