The Stars Again!

“The Stars are Comforting.”

I heard that statement today over the radio. “The stars are comforting.”star 012

People cannot leave the stars alone. I begin to wonder why?

Of course I don’t know anything about the comfort of the stars. But I know about the comfort of the one who created the stars, the Lord Jesus Christ. I have experienced His comfort many times.

Please read the following verses in The Amplified Bible:

John 14:16 The comforter remains with us forever.

John 14:26 The comforter will teach us all things.

John 15:26 The comforter will testify regarding the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 16:7 The comforter is in close fellowship with us.


“COME IN AND GET YOUR CHRISTMAS SORTED” – “GET SUMMER SORTED WITH…….”

At the Post Office a big poster reminds me to get my Christmas sorted (“Come in and get your Christmas sorted. And have a truly relaxing Kiwi Christmas.”) and at the Westpac Bank I see a big poster reminding me to “Get Summer sorted with……”

I would like to admonish you to get your LIFE sorted, because that will take care of Christmas and Sommer and everything else……………!

You ask, ” How do I get my life sorted?”

HOFFNUNG

“Hoffnung ist nicht die Ueberzeugung, dass etwas gut ausgeht, sondern die Gewissheit, dass etwas Sinn hat – ohne Ruecksicht darauf, wie es ausgeht.”
