And I will send showers,
showers of blessings,
which will come just when they are needed.
– Ezekiel 34:26
..
The fact that we are called upon to endure trials shows that the Lord Jesus sees in us something
precious which He desires to develop. We are blessed and highly favored. It’s our blessing of thorns.
Let’s wear our crown gracefully.
..
Isaiah 41:10 … “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you.
I will help you.
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.”

DON’T WORRY …

BE HAPPY …

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Holy Spirit’s presence on the Day of Pentecost

“Faith is inspired by the Holy Spirit,
and it will flourish
only as it is cherished.”
..
Hebrews chapter 11 in the Bible is known as “The Hall of Faith”.
..
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (KJV).
..
The Bible uses the words faith and belief or believe interchangeably.
Eternal life is received by grace through faith.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world …
..
and without faith it is impossible to please God (1 John 5:4; Heb 11:6).

Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Canada Sheila Sealy Monteith has recommended this brilliantly-made, two-part documentary that details much of Jamaica’s march to Independence.
.
The documentary is excellent …
.
It is recommended to all - Jamaicans and non-Jamaicans - and in particular to young people. It will help bring perspective to the struggle endured to gain the independence Jamaicans enjoy today.
.
This is extremely interesting and useful information on the beginnings of the process of Jamaica’s formal independence …….

The Blessing Of Thorns
=======================
..
Sandra felt as low as the heels of her shoes as she pushed
against a November gust and the florist shop door. Her life had
been easy, like a spring breeze. Then in the fourth month of
her second pregnancy, a minor automobile accident stole her
ease.
..
During this Thanksgiving week she would have delivered a son.
She grieved over her loss. As if that weren’t enough, her
husband’s company threatened a transfer. Then her sister, whose
annual holiday visit she coveted, called saying she could not
come.
..
What’s worse, Sandra’s friend infuriated her by suggesting her
grief was a God-given path to maturity that would allow her to
empathize with others who suffer. “She has no idea what I’m
feeling,” thought Sandra with a shudder.
..
“Thanksgiving? Thankful for what?” she wondered aloud. For a
careless driver whose truck was hardly scratched when he rear-
ended her? For an airbag that saved her life but took that of
her child?
..
“Good afternoon, can I help you?”
..
The shop clerk’s approach startled her.
..
“I….I need an arrangement, “stammered Sandra. “For
Thanksgiving?
..
Do you want beautiful but ordinary, or would you like to
challenge the day with a customer favorite I call the
Thanksgiving Special?” asked the shop clerk.
..
“I’m convinced that flowers tell stories,” she continued.
..
“Are you looking for something that conveys ‘gratitude’ this
Thanksgiving?
..
“Not exactly!” Sandra blurted out. “In the last five months,
everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. ” Sandra
regretted her outburst, and was surprised when the shop clerk
said, “I have the perfect arrangement for you.”
..
Then the door’s small bell rang, and the shop clerk said, “Hi
Barbara…let me get your order.” She politely excused herself
and walked toward a small workroom, then quickly reappeared,

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
~”"~
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
~”"~
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
~”"~
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
