Holidays are coming!

With the election being over it is time to think about Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Is the Holiday Season really almost here? My dearest came home from work and said they are no longer saying Merry Christmas. It seems that Christ is out and every other religion is in. You can be anything you want except a servant of the Most High. The word of God is very clear about how you can get into Heaven. No man can come to the Father except through the son.
I love this time of year. The hot season is over. The trees are brilliant with color. It is time to plan the holiday menus and pull the seasonal decorations. We can sit by the fire and enjoy the warmth of family and friends. When I was little I used to love the feel of getting into bed sliding in under the cold sheets with the heaviness of the blankets on me knowing that I would soon be warm.
As I remember the little things of my childhood, I am reminded of all the things I am thankful for. I am Thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am thankful for all the blessings that God has given me. I get to live in America. I get to go to the church of my choice(for how much longer I don't know). I can travel where I would like to go. I get to eat what I want. I can live where I would like. Sure I have some limitations such as finances. But I think a lot of this is going to change.
The American people have chosen to forget God. People are now serving other gods. They are choosing to serve themselves, and other religions. They are saying bye,bye to Jesus and hello to anti-christ. The spirit of anti-christ has been in the world since Jesus came to earth. The bible warns us of the evil that will be fall us. We are seeing this happen before our very eyes. I am so Thankful that this Thanksgiving and Christmas I still can worship the way I would like to. I can celebrate the birth of Christ with joy in my heart knowing that He lives in me. Nothing and no one can take the love of Christ from my heart. Sometimes things can be difficult but I will always be grateful and thankful that I know the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves me unconditionally. He said he came because the Father loved the whole world. Not one or two thousand but the whole world. "For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son." John 3:16.
We have all heard this scripture over the years. How many really believe it? Have faith and believe it today!!! Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. Just ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins and to come into your heart. Have faith that he will change you for good. That he can deliver you from evil and that you will be able to live in the house of the Lord forever. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas.
