Come to Feast

“The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.”
- Gal_5:1
This “liberty” makes us free to heaven’s charter-the Bible. Here is a choice passage, believer, “When thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee.” You are free to that. Here is another: “The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee”; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith and you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father’s love-token; thou art free to it at all times. Thou art also free to the throne of grace. It is the believer’s privilege to have access at all times to his heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before him. It matters not how much we may have sinned, we may ask and expect pardon. It signifies nothing how poor we are, we may plead his promise that he will provide all things needful. We have permission to approach his throne at all times-in midnight’s darkest hour, or in noontide’s most burning heat. Exercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege. Thou art free to all that is treasured up in Christ-wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It matters not what thy need is, for there is fulness of supply in Christ, and it is there for thee. O what a “freedom” is thine! freedom from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven!

God is Jealous

 “God is jealous.”
- Nah_1:2

"Your Lord is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you with such a love that he would not stop in heaven without you; he would sooner die than you should perish, and he cannot endure that anything should stand between your heart’s love and himself. He is very jealous of your trust. He will not permit you to trust in an arm of flesh. He cannot bear that you should hew out broken cisterns, when the overflowing fountain is always free to you. When we lean upon him, he is glad, but when we transfer our dependence to another, when we rely upon our own wisdom, or the wisdom of a friend-worst of all, when we trust in any works of our own, he is displeased, and will chasten us that he may bring us to himself. He is also very jealous of our company. There should be no one with whom we converse so much as with Jesus. To abide in him only, this is true love; but to commune with the world, to find sufficient solace in our carnal comforts, to prefer even the society of our fellow Christians to secret intercourse with him, this is grievous to our jealous Lord. He would fain have us abide in him, and enjoy constant fellowship with himself; and many of the trials which he sends us are for the purpose of weaning our hearts from the creature, and fixing them more closely upon himself. Let this jealousy which would keep us near to Christ be also a comfort to us, for if he loves us so much as to care thus about our love we may be sure that he will suffer nothing to harm us, and will protect us from all our enemies. Oh that we may have grace this day to keep our hearts in sacred chastity for our Beloved alone, with sacred jealousy shutting our eyes to all the fascinations of the world!"

Blessed are those

"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."
(Rom 4:7-8)

Miss Belle

Oh the joy of children!  Belle makes me smile just thinking about her.  It is so amazing to hear her reading during family worship as we go around and everyone takes a turn reading.  It seems just yesterday that I was two weeks over my due date and thought she would never come out.  How the time does pass. 

A ray of sunshine

Essie Grace ~ oh what could be said that is not already said in this picture.  This age is so precious.  If only it did not seem to go by so quickly. 

Our little guy!

This time of the year is always full of excitement as all but two people have birthdays.  Our little tiger is growing up so quickly as well.  This little guy is so much like his big brother in nearly every way.  What a joy he is!
I just have to give credit to where credit is due; my sweet husband took this picture.  We have two cameras and he took Ti off and began trying to help me get new pictures for the year.  I thought he did a great job!  What a blessing Seth is to our family.  Titus is so fun to watch as he tries to imitate Seth so often.  If Daddy is wearing a white t-shirt and jeans then Ti will often come down dressed like him.  Oh how we love the calling God has given us. 

Oh those eyes!

It is so hard to believe that this little lady is coming up on one year. Little Rose is walking and growing up so very quickly. What a blessing she has been to our family! Hugs and Kisses to you little one. May you grow to know and bring glory to the Lord Jesus!

The Ron Paul Revolution

Who Is Ron Paul?

in

Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

And he's running for President of the United States of America!  The fact is, he's winning the race now!  Didn't know that?  Find out what the mainstream media doesn't want you to know and much more.  View the links:

Our ornery little ray of sunshine!

She is such a dollie!

Can hardly believe how big she's gotten and how quickly it has happened!
