    Just so you know Matteo, you are one of the best and greatest things God has ever blessed my life with. You showed me love I never knew. You, and your sister both did. I have so many wonderful amazing memories of you. Two of my favorites are, that time before I sold our truck and I let you sit in my lap as we hot rodded around that open lot while you steered. That was so fun, and you were in heaven. The second is when I saw you at Grandma's. When Nana's Mommy passed, and you gave me a hug and squeezed super hard twice. You touched my soul so deeply, and I knew you loved me too. Lol... After you guy's left I sat in a chair and balled my eyes out. Thank you Tay, and I love you and your sister with ALL my heart. Thank you God for those beautiful Grandchildren. Please put a hedge of protection around them, and keep them safe. Go to them Jesus and let them know you. I pray in your name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

    The ending message was very touching and heartfelt. I can feel so much emotions. Sometimes life pulls us apart because of an argument (that now seems dumb), our views, our lifestyle, even our beliefs. Some will pull away and their hearts will become hardened. We must continue to have faith and trust in God almighty that we see our loved ones again. As a daughter, a sister, a mother and a grandmother....I hear so much heartache of longing in your voice. I will pray for your loved ones. Sending you a big tight hug Jo. We must have faith. One day....yes Lord, one day....

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Maria, your words touched me deeply. Thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and for truly hearing my heart. Faith is what allows me to keep going, to trust in God’s plan even when it doesn’t make sense. It helps carry the pain, but it doesn’t erase the longing. That longing never really goes away-it’s a reflection of the love and connection we were created to have. Your support means more than I can say, and your encouragement gives me hope. Thank you for standing with me in faith and prayer. One day...yes, one day, Lord willing. Sending you love and gratitude this Christmas season. H🤗G ❤️🙏

    Amen! God is amazing. I can't imagine the impact of being chosen by God to bring in the Messiah. Joseph and Mary I assume being well versed in the Old Testament. That would be so beyond scope. To be able to honor and glorify God in such a way. Of course, we all know Jesus was a good baby, and a joy to raise.

    Not much is known on Joseph other than his genealogy, his trade and being betrothed to Mary. We read about his dream and the message from the angel...but it was not his words. Perhaps he told this to Mary after his dream? Was it Mary's retelling to the disciples and they then wrote it down making sure it was documented? Nothing else is mentioned about Joseph but we know that he did not leave Mary's side and that he kept the Savior Child safe. I would have liked to hear more about Joseph, but I guess the story isn't about him but rather the Savior Child.

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 5 дней назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 You bring up a great point, and I’ve often wondered some of the same things about Joseph. Scripture doesn’t give us much detail about his life, but what we do see speaks volumes about his character. He was obedient to God’s call (Matthew 1:24), faithful in protecting Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:13-15), and quietly fulfilled his role in God’s plan without needing recognition. As for how Joseph’s dream and the angel’s message were recorded, it’s possible Mary shared these events with the disciples, as she likely would have remembered them vividly. Luke 2:19 tells us that Mary “treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart,” which suggests she was deeply reflective about these moments and might have shared them later. You’re right-the story ultimately centers on the Savior, but Joseph’s quiet faithfulness and obedience remind us that even those who seem to have a smaller role in God’s story are incredibly important. Thank you, as always, for sharing your thoughts-it’s such a blessing to reflect on these details together! 🙏✨

    We do know this....Joseph heard the message from the Holy Spirit and he stood by Mary and the infant Jesus. He kept them both from danger and provided for them.

    The realization of just how wide spread and deep the devil's reach is.... Well, it brought me closer to Jesus. Open your eyes my brother's and sister's. Everything of the world is trying to pull you away from Jesus. It is a long steady eloquent process. Orchestrated by the best liar there is or ever will be. Truth! Truth is the only way, and Jesus is truth. He is the Way. Follow Him to your salvation. I'll tell ya the hidden in plain sight symbol that bothers me because I see it all the time. On everyhing. People buying it all day long... Monster. Monster energy drinks. With the three claw marks. The marks look like a demonic three nailed scratch. Mocking the Holy Trinity. Also it is said the that the M/scratches resemble three Hebrew 6's. The world will tell you that is just crazy conspiracy. Coincidence. I dont think so. I think we are bombarded with satanic things. Some hidden, some making light of, and some even trying to create a relationship with the dark one. For example again, this new Jack Black movie, dear santa (satan). Thy are trying to push a child friendly satan on our kids, and anyone else who watces the movie. We are talking about a evil that hates us so much it prizes the destruction of innocent children above all else. And look at the world today. Crimes against children are out of control. We are only now learning of some of these atrocities such as child trafficking, sexual abuse in the entertainment industry, school shootings, and use in rituals we wont began to speak of here. All this evil and craziness doesnt even seem outrageous to a lot of people because they hae been desensitized to evil, and pulled away from God. God who upholds righteousness, grace, and love. Just please keep your eyes open my brother's and sister's. And when you see something or someone evil. Boycott it. Boycott Jack Black for committing such crimes to our children. To God's children. God bless

    Society is becoming numb & conditioned to things that are not from Our Lord God. We are de-synthesized to seeing or hearing things that in the past would make us gasp, be embarrassed or upset. These days things are being said and done on TV shows, commercials, movies, songs, social media outlets & influencers, the educational system, the government, some doctors, and sadly even some men of the cloth. Christians are the ones that are being shamed, having their fingers shaken at them, threatened for their beliefs and for their Christian lifestyle. I as a Christian pray for those young people that are lost and confused. I don't shame their decisions or their lifestyle but I don't accept, applaud or lift them up either...I just treat them as a human & pray for them at home. With my family, my children and my friends....they all know very well where I stand, my beliefs and that I will not budge to ever please anyone because the only one that I want to please is my Lord God. Yes, some friends are not walking with Christ but again, they respect me and my beliefs as I've said,"Walk away, delete my # and forget all about me if you can't accept that I am a Christian and although I don't shame you....I won't dance for glee for you either. I will always be here as a friend and to pray for you if you ever need me...but I will never walk away from my beliefs and my God." We must stand firm!!!

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 5 дней назад

      Maria, your words are such a powerful reminder of what it means to stand firm in faith while navigating a world that increasingly rejects God’s truth. You’ve beautifully articulated the challenge many Christians face-how to remain unwavering in our beliefs while still showing love and praying for those who are lost. The Bible does indeed call us to be cautious about mingling too closely with non-believers. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, it says, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" This reminds us to guard our hearts and ensure that our relationships don’t pull us away from God. At the same time, as followers of Christ, we are called to share the Gospel and be a light in the darkness. Matthew 28:19-20 commands us to "Go and make disciples of all nations," and Matthew 5:16 encourages us to let our light shine before others so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. For me, this is such a learning process, and your comments help me grow as much as doing what I do every day. I strive to remain rooted in my faith and constantly turn to the Bible for answers, because only through studying His Word can we truly navigate these challenges and find the guidance we need. Your approach of standing firm, praying for others, and being unwavering in your commitment to God while still offering love and truth is inspiring. Thank you for your boldness and for always encouraging us to reflect deeply on how we live out our faith. 🙏✨

    While we are here on earth we are to follow our Governmental laws while living a Christ-like life. Yes, love those that have moved into our country for a better life and you see them struggling and working hard. But we also must not be blind in seeing that many have come into this country (illegally) and are just up to no good. Many are former gang members, many are setting up shop with human-trafficking and drugs, others EXPECT handouts and a work-free life while others feed and care for all their needs and others love violence and are full of evil intentions. The government is here to put laws into place and ensure those laws are not broken and that they protect their citizens...just like God has laws into place and just like God protects His people/believers. When the government cannot do it's job, the people feel compelled to protect their families. their property and their land....and I don't blame them one bit. You want to enter the Kingdom of heaven? You must follow these steps, obey these laws, live a certain way. You want to enter this Nation? You must follow these steps (to process your documents, background check, have a documented family member to house you while you get on your feet (that contributes to the work force), make sure you are healthy both physically and mentally, and wait the necessary time while all these things are processed & investigated. Once here, you have a certain amount of time to get a job, get enrolled in school and start becoming a good member to society. They too must honor both the Nations rules and God's.

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 5 дней назад

      Maria, you’ve captured such an important perspective here. As Christians, we are absolutely called to follow both God’s laws and the laws of the land (Romans 13:1-2 reminds us to submit to governing authorities, as they are established by God). Breaking those laws-whether they’re God’s or our government’s-causes disorder and harm. The issue we see at the border is complex because it involves both people searching for a better life and those with harmful intentions. While we are called to show love and compassion (Leviticus 19:34 reminds us to love the foreigner as ourselves), it doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to lawlessness. Many people crossing the border are doing so illegally, breaking the rules and creating chaos, but what complicates it further is that they’re being encouraged by a government that seems unwilling to enforce its own laws. This creates a situation where citizens feel the need to protect their families and communities-and, like you, I don’t blame them. Just as God has set clear guidelines for entering His Kingdom (John 14:6 reminds us that Jesus is the only way), nations also have rules and processes to ensure safety and order. Those rules are there for a reason, and when they’re disregarded or not enforced, it leads to chaos and harm for everyone. Thank you, as always, for sharing your thoughtful insights. These are tough issues, but reflecting on them through the lens of Scripture helps us to keep our hearts aligned with God’s truth. 🙏✨

    I am blown away when people don't believe. All signs point to God, and historically to Jesus. Jesus is even called, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I know the emotional trigger Jesus is to me. I can't read or speak on Him without crying or being very emotional. My whole being screams of the Lord Jesus my God. So as well as I know my name I know Jesus is God. It's not a thought, a consideration, but an instinct. A fact. It is part of me, as is my faith in Jesus. It is sad knowing all those who don't know or believe in Jesus. Especially my beloved Jewish brother's and sister's who do not believe Jesus is their Messiah. I love you. God's chosen people, but the pridefulness and arrogance. It is disturbing. For Jesus fulfilled the prophecies. Lived and died for our sake. Giving us salvation. God sacrificing for us. The implication is beyond scope. To then turn your back on Jesus is insanity. I pray every soul across the globe hears of Jesus, accepts Him as their Savior, and glorifies His name. To Jesus Christ be the glory. Wake up! Repent and follow Jesus. Take advantage of God's great grace. For judgement does come.

    Acts 16 Tells of a slave girl who fortune tells for her owner. She makes him a lot of money. Paul, in his travels runs into this girl. They say this girl has "a spirit of divination". The slave girl follows Paul and his companions screaming, "these men are the bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation". After a bit, Paul, annoyed turns and says to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment. After which the slave girl can no longer tell fortune's, and her owner, being very angry goes after Paul. Even more ironic, later some Jewish exorcists hear about this and try to use the name of Jesus to exorcise a spirit, and the spirit tells them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, who are you?" So once again the Bible shows us what is happening. It is not loved ones from the other side delivering messages. And if you are the "psychic", you are putting yourself at great risk and harm. We are told not to mess with such things. You can say you are of God, and doing good, but God is not involved. Nor does He approve. Putting your life and faith in the one true God, Jesus Christ is what we are to do. This is how we live a healthy existence, and after life. Don't seek answers for your life, live it. Dedicate it to the One Who gave you life. The Way, our Lord Jesus. I love you Jesus of Nazarene. You are my Lord, Shepherd, Messiah, and Savior. King of all King's. My God. Blessed am I by You. May all the world give You glory! Take the gift God gives to you, and praise the Holy name of our Father, Jesus Christ.

    Sadly, technology is ruling us. Technology isn't necessarily a bad thing when used correctly. Take technology in the field of medicine, or in our housing industry. Much good can come from technology however a lot of bad can come from it as well. We now allow technology to babysit and guide our babies, our children and our teens in life. We cannot do anything without some sort of device on us (ipad, iwatch, iphone, headphones). We eat with devices, we sleep with devices, we even go into church and use our devices. When the device is lost/misplaced/broken....our entire world falls apart. How can we function? How can we live? What are we to do? Wouldn't these questions all be great if we asked them about God? If we asked them about our Bible?

    This is a hard one for many because we love our loved ones and we do not want to see them suffer. Many families have placed their loved ones in Hospice Care where they are slowly "released" with the help of morphine dosages. I can understand both sides of saying this is right or wrong due to the love/compassion we have, however we might ask ourselves..."Isn't going through the pain and suffering part of our life? " Jesus suffered greatly and was not sparred any part of the pain. I often wonder if us accepting our pain and suffering is part of "letting it all go and releasing everything" to God?

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 15 дней назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 This is such a heartfelt and thought-provoking comment, and you’ve touched on something so deeply personal and challenging for so many of us. I experienced hospice care with my own mother, and I have to admit, I never thought about it the way you’ve put it here. Your words about suffering, love, and surrender to God really resonate. The Bible does teach us that suffering is part of life in a fallen world. Romans 5:3-5 reminds us that suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope. And of course, as you mentioned, Jesus Himself suffered greatly for us and was not spared any part of that pain. His example shows us the ultimate act of surrender-trusting the Father even through unimaginable agony. At the same time, Scripture calls us to show love and compassion (Galatians 6:2), to care for the sick (Matthew 25:36), and to be stewards of life. Hospice care can be an expression of that compassion, aiming to provide comfort and dignity in a person’s final days without intentionally hastening death. However, it’s also important to examine our motives and prayerfully discern whether our actions align with God’s will. Your question about whether accepting pain and suffering is part of releasing everything to God is so profound. Perhaps it is about surrender-trusting Him fully, even in the hardest moments, and knowing that He is with us through every trial (Psalm 23:4). This is such a difficult and deeply personal topic, and I think it requires humility, prayer, and discernment as we seek to honor God while showing love and compassion to those we care about. Thank you for bringing up such an important reflection-it challenges us to think deeply about what it means to trust God in all things. Praying for you and for everyone navigating these tough questions. 🙏❤️

    We must love our brother's and sister's. We must share the Gospel, and the truth. Out of love. For there is only one way to salvation. Jesus is the way. We are all sinner's. We must rebuke that sin and be saved. Sins feel natural us. Different sins for different folks. We all have our taste's. Rebuke sin. If your sibling is a serial killer. If you love them, you tell them to stop, or help in the stopping of their killing. You dont say it's okay, because that's how they were born... We are all born of sin nature. Sins are sins. They are what keep us from God. The sin of homosexuality is no more worsebor different than any other sin. Sinner's just like to make excuses for themselves when it comes to accountability to God. That is the whole point. You must sacrifice your desires, and desire instead a relationship with Jesus. Let Him fill those holes. In time Jesus will heal you of those sinful desires, and you know and desire His love above all thing's. Let the devil have those things. Please remember we are not here to judge, but to liberate our brother's and sister's from the bondage of sin, and into the salvation of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Praise Jesus! Amen? That is the Gospel.

    Money is a tool used to control. The devil loves money, because people idolize money and those who have it. This does not glorify our Lord Jesus. Like many tool's, you can also use it for good. Use your wealth ( or your pennies ) to help your brother's and sister's. I bet you don't see money in Heaven, or the new world God creates for us.

    First as always is God. Master the Word first, learn to walk with our Lord Jesus, and He will use you in your pursuits. To God be the glory. For His will be done. Personally, I believe this beautiful world God has created and put beneath our feet is under pursued, and under appreciated. Most of our oceans unexplored. We know virtually nothing about our history. Besides what the Bible tells us. The whole idea of, " well, we've used up this planet, and now we've got to go colonize somewhere else"... That feels very satanic to me. It gives God no glory, and that's not good. God is the creator of all things. All creation. All miracles. Beyond scope of comprehension. God has created. Exploration is fine. If God wanted to limit our exploration, He would. I believe in God's eyes, a pursuit of Jesus is most rewarded of all pursuits. That is, a pursuit of bettering one's self and his or her relationship with Jesus. Let's not forget also. Revelation is coming. A great destruction, and then a rebuilding. This is why, to God be the glory. Amen?

    I think to clone life to experience on, to harvest organs or two grow an army...is completely wrong and sinful. To help a man & woman who are married conceive after struggling for many years is not wrong. Sometimes, not even with IVF can a couple conceive so that is not always a guarantee. Is IVF sinful? Depending on who is getting IVF in my opinion.

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 15 дней назад

      Hi M, Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. That’s such a good question, and I think many people wrestle with these kinds of ethical and spiritual dilemmas, especially when it comes to the advancements in science and medicine. From a biblical perspective, creating life is a gift and a privilege that belongs to God alone. Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us that God forms each of us in the womb and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. So, any process that attempts to “play God” for selfish or harmful purposes-like cloning for harvesting organs or creating armies-clearly falls outside of His design and intention. When it comes to something like IVF, the question becomes a bit more nuanced. While it’s not explicitly mentioned in Scripture, what we do know is that God values life at every stage, and He designed the family as the foundation of society. If IVF is being used within the context of a married couple seeking to bring life into the world and honor God’s design for family, it may not necessarily be sinful. However, if it’s done for selfish reasons, outside of His design, or involves practices that disregard the sanctity of life (like the destruction of embryos), it becomes more problematic. Ultimately, as with so many things, I believe it comes down to discernment, prayer, and a heart aligned with God’s will. Thank you for always bringing up such thought-provoking questions-they truly help us reflect on what it means to honor God in every aspect of life.

    It is written that these things are detestable to God. We have read how those that used these practices were dealt with in the bible. We know that it is wrong. We know that it offends God but how many really care about this? They continue in their evil ways by using tarot cards, practicing witchcraft, using the quija board, casting stones to read the future...these and more are all wrong. Trusting in God and God alone is the only way. Everything else will only lead to hell.

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 14 дней назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 You’re absolutely right-Scripture is so clear that these practices are detestable to God, and they lead people down a dangerous path. I think a lot of people turn to things like tarot cards, witchcraft, or mediums out of fear or desperation, trying to gain some kind of control or clarity in their lives. But the truth is, those things only bring more confusion and darkness. If they would just come to God and surrender it all to Him, they’d find the peace and clarity they’re really searching for. Trusting in God and God alone removes that fear because we can rest in His love, His power, and His perfect plan for our lives. Like you said, everything else leads nowhere but destruction. Thank you for always sharing such thoughtful and strong reflections. You remind us all of the importance of staying rooted in God’s truth. 🙏✨

    Wealth can be a curse if you do not give from the goodness of your heart. The Lord will continue to bless you when you give. I will say that sometimes the devil will work with you giving you all you want making sure you stay greedy, snarky and don't remember God. Generosity without complaining will be a blessing when you leave this world.

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 15 дней назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Your words are so true-wealth can easily become a curse when it’s not used with the right heart. My family and I live at or below the poverty level, and while I wouldn’t mind having a little more freedom with our finances, I’ve often thought that having more than we need would feel like a burden rather than a blessing. From what I’ve seen in life, the more money people have, the more stress, selfishness, and greed tend to follow. On the other hand, when you don’t have much, you learn to appreciate the small things-and you find so much joy in giving, even in small ways. My husband and I love helping others however we can, and honestly, there’s no better feeling in the world than knowing you’ve made someone else’s burden a little lighter. I wish everyone could experience the joy that comes from giving with a thankful heart-it’s truly a blessing. I completely agree with you that generosity, when done with a cheerful spirit, is what God calls us to (2 Corinthians 9:7). And it’s such a powerful reminder to keep our focus on Him, not on what we have or don’t have. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful and inspiring words. They truly make me reflect and give thanks for the things that matter most. 🙏❤️

      @sandrafreeman515 🌿 Thank you for your comment! I completely agree with you-Jesus’ words in Luke 22:36 about buying a sword clearly indicate that He wasn’t against self-defense. As a gun owner myself, I believe we have the right to protect ourselves and those we love. The Bible consistently shows us the importance of wisdom and discernment, especially in a fallen world where evil exists. While we are called to live peaceably whenever possible (Romans 12:18), self-defense is not contrary to Scripture when it’s done to protect life and not out of aggression or vengeance.

    The realization of all evil's hidden influences is mind numbing. It took me most my life to understand that. But now with Jesus in my heart, and the Bible in my mind. Daily. I can see the far reach of distraction of God, and push to sin. The Word of God is the Armor of God, and it shields us from evil's reach. I think the biggest danger of a lot of things, certainly drugs and alcohol is that they pull you away from God. They seperate us from Him. They are relationship blocker's. Interfering with your relationship with Jesus. Even though He's still right there with you. This is dangerous because none of us know our time. That's why you must seek and build your relationship with Jesus now. There literally is no other way. God bless you all my brother's and sister's!

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Thank you for sharing your thoughts-this is such an important and sensitive topic, and I completely understand feeling torn. It’s one of those issues that requires deep prayer and discernment, and I appreciate how you always come back to the Word of God for guidance. For me, it’s not about what I have personally, but more about the reality of what others may have. While I’d love to imagine a world where conflicts could be resolved with nothing more than words-or, at worst, a rock or spear-we live in a time where others have far more powerful means at their disposal. Protecting ourselves and those we love isn’t about seeking violence, but rather about acknowledging the dangers that exist and being prepared in a way that aligns with wisdom and responsibility. I truly believe this is an area where prayer is crucial, as you said, because it’s not an easy conversation. Each of us has to approach it humbly and seek what God would have us do in our own unique circumstances. Thank you, as always, for inspiring thoughtful discussions and reflections. 🙏✨

  • @Running_with_Faith

    Ahhhh...Commitment! That is what can separate us from God. We can start off good & strong with good intentions but like our New Years Resolutions....they can quickly fizzle out. We will make excuses, start skipping a day here and there and eventually we just let that commitment fall to the wayside....until we need Him again. Without a daily commitment we cannot live in obedience to God. Commit to devoting time for Him and Him alone without distractions. Sit quietly and talk to Father God. Sit & Read a passage from the Scriptures daily! Reflect on them and pray on them. We spend more time on Netflix or scrolling on social media than we do on prayer, reading the bible and even talking to God our Father. Is our name written in the Book of Life? I will answer the question with a question...."How is your commitment to the Lord going?"

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 22 дня назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Your first couple of sentences describe how I lived the majority of my life-starting off strong but letting my commitment fade, only turning back to God when I needed Him. It took years of wisdom, life lessons, and experience to finally understand how important a daily, unwavering commitment to Him truly is. No church or person taught me this-it was through life itself that I came to see that your words in the rest of this comment are exactly how we’re called to live. Quiet time with God, reading His Word, reflecting, and praying-it’s these daily practices that deepen our relationship with Him and keep us grounded in His truth. That’s what this channel is born of and focused on: encouraging a daily connection with God through His Word and living a life centered on Him. Your words are so inspiring, and they’re a wonderful reminder to us all to take inventory of where our commitment stands. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful reflections, as always! 🙏✨

    This is precisely why we ALL should read the bible, study Gods Word, learn what you are reading. When you know the truth, no one and nothing can lead you astray. When you know the truth, no one can bend&shape the Word of God for their good and their lifestyle. Stay Informed by staying connected to the Word of God (Pick up your bible and read it!!!).

    • @DailyDoseofGodwithJo
      @DailyDoseofGodwithJo 24 дня назад

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Amen! You’ve hit the nail on the head-there is nothing more important than staying connected to God’s Word and knowing His truth for yourself. For much of my life, I believed I had a relationship with God, but it wasn’t until I took a deep dive into the Bible that I truly understood what it means to trust in Him fully. One of the most profound realizations I’ve had is that immersing yourself in God’s Word removes so much of the uncertainty and fear that people often wrestle with. Questions that seem to consume others-whether about the unknown, death, or even the supernatural-just fade away. Once you truly understand that God’s truth is the only truth that matters, you see how unshakable and eternal His Word is. It’s freeing to know that you don’t have to wonder or worry because His promises are secure, and His protection is absolute. Thank you for always sharing such inspiring and thoughtful comments. You remind us all of the importance of staying in God’s Word and standing firm in His truth. God bless you! 🙏❤️

    We anxiously await the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ in our home by lighting our home with festive colorful lights. We put out the tree and top it with a big star. We read a chapter out of Luke each day. We do not exchange gifts (only to the little ones and we say that Santa brought them from baby Jesus to help celebrate His birthday). Then we have a nice little dinner (smaller than Thanksgiving) and we remember what the birth means & what awaits.

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Your family’s Christmas traditions sound so beautiful and centered on the true meaning of the season. I think for a long time, I took Christmas for granted and got caught up in all the “fuss”-especially when I had my grandchildren around. Things just aren’t the same when you don’t have little ones around to share in the magic. It’s only in the past couple of years that I’ve really started to understand, on a deep heart level, what Christmas is truly about-the birth of our Savior and the hope and promise that brings. Around here, Eric and I don’t do much either. We both usually work, and we keep things simple-a little Christmas for Jessi, our (eldest and autistic) daughter who lives with us, and a family dinner, which is something we do often anyway. But what makes it special is taking that time to praise and thank Jesus for everything. It’s such a blessing to step back and see Christmas for what it truly is-an opportunity to reflect on His incredible gift to us all. Thank you, as always, for sharing your traditions and inspiring us all to keep Christ at the center of it. Wishing you and your family a season filled with His love and light! 🎄✨

    This started off exactly where I would. Let us first and always pay tribute, love and gratitude to God. To God be the glory. This is true in all things. For without His grace and love we are but dust. As my family and I sat to eat our Thanksgiving dinner we gave all our thanks and honor to God. We are thankful for His love, salvation, and the gift of our family. That was our Thanksgiving. As for Christmas. This is the day we celebrate God's greatest gift and testimony to His love for us. The birth on earth of our Lord and Savior, Messiah, and the Way, Jesus Christ. Again, we must give ALL glory and honor to God. For this is His greatest gift to us. And nothing should be put in equal honor as our honor to God. Not presents or tales, food or play. -We thank You Father. For the unmeasured gifts You bestow upon us. For all the beauty and wonderous works You do. But we thank You most of all for the gift of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. We thank You for Your forgiveness and salvation. May the Word of Jesus Christ reach and touch many many brother's and sister's. In the Holy name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. God bless you my brother's and sister's. To God be the glory.

    It's okay. It's okay to take a hike/walk/jog and talk to Father God just like you would with your best friend. Be open, be honest and just tell Him all that is troubling you. Have a good cry and if that cry turns into being a little mad and into questioning....that is okay too. Our Father understands us. Just keep communicating with Him and keep praying for clarity on your questions/concerns. They will come at His timing. Don't keep things bottled up and pretend everything is okay....if you have gone to our Father, I implore you to go to a good friend that has a strong faith so that they may pray with you and over you.

    I will have to agree with your closing thoughts. I know many women who are great leaders in the church as Women Leaders....not as Pastors. I think Women can and should lead other women however I don't feel right (my own personal opinion) having a woman lead the congregation and I steer clear away from any church that does permit that. God forgive me if I am wrong in my thinking, but for now....I will continue thinking this way.

      @Running_with_Faith 🌿 Thank you for sharing your thoughts-it’s such a meaningful conversation, and I deeply respect the care you take in reflecting on this. I understand where you’re coming from, and I think it’s a topic that can feel complicated, especially in today’s world. I agree that women have a vital role in leading and nurturing other women, and I’ve seen the incredible ways women can guide, support, and inspire within the church. At the same time, it’s clear in Scripture that God designed unique roles for men and women, and I believe that structure is purposeful. Personally, I see the heart of the family as being tied to a woman’s ability to nurture, support, and care for her household-it’s a role that has such a profound impact on the family and society as a whole. Unfortunately, in today’s world, the economy and culture often make it incredibly difficult for women to fully embrace that role. I can’t help but think that the further society moves away from God’s design, the more chaotic things become. I’m praying for my grandchildren as well, especially when it comes to what they’re exposed to in schools and in the world. Raising children in today’s environment feels so much harder than it was in the past, and I think a lot of us are trying to navigate it the best we can. Thank you again for always being willing to share your thoughts and insights. You’re such a blessing, and I’m so grateful for your presence in this community! 🙏❤️
