Day 21 of The Giving of Thanks

Fresh Berry Cobbler.
And I say that even before I taste it. I am trusting it will be tasty. Other cobblers have been all these years. That simple little few ingredient recipe. The same one that Little Girl would stand in the kitchen and wait for it to cool just enough to eat it, many years ago. I think she still would – it’s vegan. :)

Happy Saturday, my Friends. 

Genesis 1:11 (NLT) 11 Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. source

John 15:5  (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. source

Galatians 5:22-26 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. source

Revelation 22:2 (TLV) 2 down the middle of the city’s street. On either side of the river was a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. source

Day 20 of The Giving of Thanks.

The Bible. 
I am giving thanks for The Bible. I am thankful for Scripture. I am thankful The Bible has been preserved for me. And for you. It is a miracle that 40 Penman over a span of 1,500 years recorded the Bible as GOD spoke and we have it still today. The Bible has been opposed, banned, burned, rejected, and most sadly of all I think, disbelieved and left on the shelf to collect dust. 

Ephesians 2:19 in part says “we were made members of the household of GOD.” 
As members of His household, what a shame we do not read the Letter our Father sent us. 

Verse 20 of the same Chapter says we have been built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets – JESUS Himself being the Chief Cornerstone. How is it that we think we can successfully build our lives without the Chief Cornerstone?

I know some of you will this day give thanks with me for your very own copy of Scripture. And you will this day open and read it; you will pray over it and ask The Father how do YOU want me to embrace and obey this reading of Your Word? And it is people like you GOD will work through to save the world!

Day 19 of The Giving of Thanks

Books.
Lots and lots of books and for the authors who write them and for times and days to read them. For shelves to hold them and for LOVE who built those shelves. For notes taken on the pages of a few, and for underlinings in yellow, blue, green, or pink and completion dates logged at the end. The gift of reading. Let us not take it for granted.

Revelation 20:12 (NLT) 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.   source

Daniel 7:10  (AMP) 10 “A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; A thousand thousands were attending Him, And ten thousand times ten thousand were standing before Him; The court was seated, And the books were opened.source

Acts 28:23  (AMP) 23 When they had set a day for Paul, they came to his lodging in large numbers. And he carefully explained [Christianity] to them from morning until evening, solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the [writings of the] Prophets. source
