Sunday Inspiration (23)

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs; Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 (NIV)

Sunday Inspiration (20): Christmas Day Edition

"Good Tidings of Great Joy" by Walter Rane

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Luke 2:8-14, King James Version

 

Merry Christmas to All! Hallelujah the Savior is born!

"O Lord of the oceans, my little bark sails on a restless sea. Grant that Jesus may sit at the helm and steer me safely; Suffer no adverse currents to divert my heavenward course; Let not my faith be wrecked amid storms and shoals; Bring me to harbor with flying pennants, hull unbreached, cargo unspoiled. ...Help me, protect me in the moving sea until I reach the shore of unceasing praise. Amen."
