“Tune in …”

“Tune in to a good book!” encourages me a Carson-Dellosa bookmarker, I picked up at our beautiful library today.

I like that encouragement very much.

A good book helps me to understand the past.

A good book helps me also to explore my world.  

A good book helps me to visit new places.

When I was in Primary School in Germany I got lost in books that told stories about foreign places. Why? Because I think I wanted to go there in the future. I managed to go to several countries, and I am now in New Zealand.  

A good book helps me also to plan for my future.

A good book helps me to make a good decision.

A good book helps me also to keep in touch.

When I looked up GOOD BOOK in The Concise Collins Dictionary I learned that it is a name for the BIBLE.

 

STUMBLING

werner-150x150“Vitamin D keeps elderly on their feet,” is an article called in the September 2013  Age Concern Kaitaia & District Incorporated newsetter on page six.

I am interested, because I am elderly. 

“A Feilding rest home has seen outstanding results after taking part in a vitamin D supplement programme to reduce falls by elderly residents.”

I am interested in my physical life, but I am even more interested in my spiritual live. 

When I looked up the subject in the Bible, I came to the word “stumble”, and this is what one verse says: 

“Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them STUMBLE.” – Psalm 119:165

It says here that nothing can make the people who love the BIBLE stumble! What a promise! Notice also that they who love the BIBLE have also great peace.

Why do I love the Bible?  I consider the Bible as the supreme book. There are several reasons. 

Where do men find the  answer to the question of life?

Where do men find the answer to the question of death?

The BIBLE has the answer!

Where do men turn to in the hour of tragedy? 

Where do men turn to in the hour of death?

They turn to the Bible!

What must I do, if I don’t want to  stumble in my spiritual life? I must love the law of the LORD.

What must I do, if I don’t want to stumble in my physical life? I must  take vitamin D supplements.

A Quote and a Verse from the BIBLE

HARAKEKE - FLAX

HARAKEKE – FLAX

When I read “Better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt,” in the publication called COFFEE NEWS, (Vol 149:3) I compared it with 14_-02_-2013-099-e1360812104974“Even a fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue” in the Bible. (Proverbs 17:28)
