Shortbread Cookies Thank you Peppermint for helping out

My parents would often call a time out, in the course of a joyful family celebration in order to encourage us to ‘remember’ the occasion. We now look back on those times with a sense of profound gratitude as we recall the many sacrifices our parents made in order to ensure wonderful memories for the future! The Lord also admonished His people to ‘remember!’ In 1 Chronicles 16:12, the Chronicler instructs the nation of Israel to remember the Lord’s miracles of the pas...t and His promises for the future. When we, as God’s people, fail to remember the past we are in danger of forgetting the great things the Lord has done. It is important to know what is truly worthy of remembrance. Take Christmas for example some say it just won’t be the same this year. True, Christmas will be different but I believe we must understand what ‘different’ means. The family traditions and the secular trappings of the season will certainly be different from what we are accustomed to, but the message of Christmas hasn’t changed! So remember Jesus, our Savior, who is Christ the Lord! Worship and celebrate Him! What stands out as you remember past Christmas celebrations? Was Jesus at the center? Will the birth of our Savior be your priority this Christmas or will ensuring the continuity of past traditions take precedence? In the next few weeks I will share with you some personal ‘Christmas recollections’ in the hope they inspire you to remember JESUS! Blessings! Pastor Rick See more

What is the basis by which you choose to satisfy your wants and needs? The Bible teaches that we contradict the Lord’s instructions when we seek to satisfy wants that are founded on selfish desires. When asked what the greatest commandment in the Law was, Jesus answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neig...hbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-39). Many of us know this second commandment as the ‘Golden Rule’ and recognize it as a life directive that puts the needs of others ahead of selfish indulgence. The Apostle Paul builds on these foundational truths as he reminds us, in the context of Philippians 4:10-19, that those who are generous towards God and others, will find that God is generous toward them. May the Lord abundantly bless you, as you seek to serve Him and those around you today! Blessings! Pastor Rick See more

It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas...in our Courtyard

I was thinking about making some rice pudding for desert so I asked my wife who is still in Creston waiting for our house to sell to e-mail me the recipe. She did, along with some further instructions: Make sure you watch the milk and rice don’t boil over. Be PATIENT, WATCH and WAIT! Since watching and patiently waiting are not an area of giftedness, I quickly grew tired staring at a pot that refused to boil! I decided to check out my Face Book page! Wrong choice! ...A minute later just one minute later the pot erupted like a volcano all over the stove! Later, as I cleaned up the hardened lava flow, I wished I’d taken my wife’s counsel to heart! How do you do when it comes to watching and waiting? In The Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus reminds His disciples to watch correctly, in order to be properly prepared and ready to accompany Him when He returns. Jesus is coming again and as His followers we must be alert and ready for His return. What that means for the present is that we not waste our opportunities to serve Him. We may not have great abilities or a great many gifts but we can remain faithful in the calling He has given us! So be watchful as you patiently wait for opportunities to serve Him and then do so with joy! Blessings! Pastor Rick See more
