"Every Good and Perfect Gift"
By Glen Knabe James tells us in chapter one and verse 17, that “every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” Please consider this Lord’s day as we come and worship Him what some of those gifts are. “. . . And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Lk. 2:7 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Is. 9:6 “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit.” Mt. 27:50 “The Angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen . . .” Mt. 28:5-6 “I am going there to prepare a place for you . . . I will come back and take you to be with me.” Jn. 14:2-3 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 “He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Ps. 103:10-12 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Eph. 1:3 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Eph. 2:8 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom. 6:26 “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Eph. 3:12 “The Lord will keep you from all harm--He will watch over your life: the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Ps. 121:7-8
Praise the Lord! Ps. 150:1 | |

Jesus, The Master Craftsman "A Word from Ryan"
A distinguished British violinist named Peter Cropper was such an outstanding musician that the Royal Academy of Music in London honored him by lending him a priceless 258 year old Stradivarius. It is the dream of every violinist to be able to play such an instrument, but a terrible thing happened while Cropper was performing in Finland. He tripped and fell on top of the Stradivarius and broke it. Cropper’s pleasant dream was turned into a horrible nightmare. He was inconsolable. | |

Adoption
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
All children are heaven sent from God. When you receive a child through adoption, it is a unique and special gift. Praise God for His generosity and love your children as God so generously loves you. | |||

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" The mother replied, "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"
