How To Make A Butter Candle

Making a butter candle might just come in handy if you're in the middle of a power outage, and have no flashlight or candles.  This is low cost and something I would never have thought of!
Psalm 18:28, "You light a candle for me.  The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness."  Jesus is the true Light of the world!

Russian Fisherman Saves Dog Stranded On Ice At Sea

This doggie must have been so scared!  Thank God for kind hearts! 
Have you ever felt like you were drifting nowhere, and didn't know how to ask for  help?  Jesus hears your heart cry, every heart cry of humanity, and answers immediately!  He has the ability and desire to rescue you from danger, and set your feet on solid ground! Jonah2:2, "“When I was in danger, I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.  I was about to die,
so I cried to you, and you heard my voice."
Jesus came to this little speck in space called Earth, to rescue you and I from sin.  He will save you if you ask Him.  Is there any reason why you would rather stay afloat on the ice, alone, denying help?  Jesus loves you. Ask Him into your heart without delay, and to forgive your sins, and He will!

Soldier Home Early, Surprises Sons

 

Have you ever waited for someone important in your life to come home again?  Maybe it was relatives you hadn't seen for a long time, or a parent serving in the military.  Maybe it was a friend you hadn't seen since you graduated from high school!  The anticipation made the time drag by. 
But, when someone you have been missing appears unexpectedly, it can be emotionally overwhelming! 
When Jesus splits the sky, real soon, those who have accepted Him as their best friend and Saviour will shout with praise and joy running through their whole being! Isaiah 25:9, At that time people will say, "Our God is doing this!
We have waited for him, and he has come to save us.
This is the Lord. We waited for him,
so we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”
Jesus can't wait to embrace you, His son/daughter.
If you have lost a loved one, when Jesus comes, if they knew Jesus, they will be resurrected to see Him coming, and will be reunited with you!  I can't wait to see my sweet mama again, then!!!!!!!  This will be the reunion of the ages, when Jesus comes!
1Thessalonians 4:16-18, "The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And those who have died believing in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive will be gathered up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with the Lord forever.   So encourage each other with these words."

Babies Laughing At Puppies

Proverbs 17:22, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength."

Diver Meets The Incredible Wolf Eel

Temptation is like this wolf eel.  The more the diver feeds the Wolf Eel, the more it wants from him.  The more we ponder temptation, the longer we linger close by, the more likely we are to give in and do what we know is wrong, and sin. 
Sin is destructive, but Jesus overcame sin for us, and implants His righteous character in us when we ask Him into our heart.  He knows how to flee temptation! 
1Corinthians 10:13,"No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; He’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; He’ll always be there to help you come through it."
 

Little Girl Kayla Loves The Moon

This little girl named Kayla loves the moon so much, she tries to jump up and touch it!  She is not yet old enough to understand that reality doesn't fit what she thinks can happen.  How innocent and adorable, Kayla!
Matthew 18:3, "Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven." 
Jesus wants to give you more than the moon, He wants to give you eternal life!  Ask Him to change your heart and life.  
I have to share the following off of Facebook:
“Tattoos on the Heart”

Meditations of a priest Gregory Boyle, who for over twenty years has labored with and serving in a Los Angeles ghetto on what he has learned from the homies who are his extended congregation.
His compassion in helping young men to begin a new life apart from being in a gang, opened a Bakery “Homeboy Industries” giving employment to them. 
One Latin employee was a former gang leader dealing drugs and firearms, became a overseer of converted rival gang members in the bakery. Many people have heard of the “Homeboy Industries” and a group of “white adults” went to see for themselves the bakery. They couldn’t believe how everything was “Great”, the former rival gangs working together were “great”. The overseer was “great”, t he bread was “great” Everything was “Great”!
After they left the young Latin overseer said to Gregory Boyle, “man what is this with white people and “Great!” The priest said it was a positive word and then used the word Great with him at every chance he could!
One day the young Latin Overseer for the first time in his life was able to provide a decent home with money he made from honest employment. When his little girl entered the apartment she sat down and exclaimed, Daddy this is GREAT! 
His heart melted as he truly understood the meaning of Great, and the compassion of others who had showed him love and compassion, helping him in his new journey in life. He became a changed man after that. 
On a usual day of work the young Overseer was at the “Homeboy Bakery” helping to load us the delivery truck with bread, a car went slowly by with rival gang members out looking for enemies, none could be found, so they shot and killed the young Latin Overseer because he happened to be there outside and in view.
This poem written by a former gang member and employee at the “Homeboy Bakery” was read at the Overseerer’s Funeral.

“With That Moon Language”
Admit Something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”
Of course you do not do this out loud;
Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.
Still though, think about this,
This great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye
That is always saying
With that sweet moon
Language
What every other eye in this world
Is dying to
Hear.
- By Hafez

“The power of boundless compassion”

“So whether one is Latin, Blacks, White, Asians, Indians, Gay, Lesbian, Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Atheist, Agnostic, Educated, Illiterate, Wealthy, Poor, 1st World, or 3rd World should make no difference if the Love of Christ dwells in your heart to reach out and love another as Christ has love you! “ “The world is Not dying for a telling of the Truth, They are dying for a religion that works!”

World's Cutest Frog-Desert Rain Frog

My dog would think this world famous, cute little frog from South Africa, was a toy! 
It tries to make itself look larger than it is, and makes this squeaky little sound to intimidate predators, to protect itself.
Only Jesus can protect us from the predator, Satan.  Jesus has already won the war against him, and He protects us in our daily battles with sin. 
1 Corinthians 10:4, "We fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses. Our weapons have power from God that can destroy the enemy’s strong places."

Matthew 4:10-11, "For the second test the Devil took Him to the Holy City. He sat Him on top of the Temple and said, “Since you are God’s Son, jump.” The Devil goaded him by quoting Psalm 91: “He has placed you in the care of angels. They will catch you so that you won’t so much as stub your toe on a stone.” Jesus countered with another citation from Deuteronomy: “Don’t you dare test the Lord your God.”  Jesus overcame for us, and gives us eternal life!

The eyes are the window to the soul!  Dog's have trouble hiding their guilt!  Sometimes I think my dog wants me to know she's into something, just to get a little extra attention from mom:-)
Genesis 3:10-12 "God called to the Man: “Where are you?”
He said, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.”
God said, “Who told you you were naked? Did you eat from that tree I told you not to eat from?”
Ever felt guilty?  That's the Holy Spirit letting you know you need to ask God for forgiveness:-)

Fearless Woman Swims With A Great White Shark!!!

Wow!  This gives new meaning to extreme!! This lady is beyond courageous!  I will gladly wait and do this in heaven!
Sin is like this sometimes.  It looks so  inviting, we go along for the thrill, the adrenaline rush!  But, it is very lethal!  The Bible says, "Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master."  Romans 6:23
The penalty for sin is death, BUT, God's gift is eternal life!  Jesus took the penalty for sin on the cross of Calvary, so you don't have to die an eternal death!  He also is the only one who can change your heart to be like His.  Don't flirt with sin, because it is lethal.

Meteorite Crash In Russia!

MOSCOW (TheBlaze/AP) — A Russian health official says nearly 1,000 people have sought help for injuries caused by a meteor that exploded in the sky, blasting out countless windows.

Chelyabinsk health chief Marina Moskvicheva, said Friday that 985 people in her city had asked for medical assistance. The Interfax news agency quoted her as saying 43 were hospitalized.

The Russian Academy of Sciences said the meteor – estimated to be about 10 tons – entered the Earth’s atmosphere going at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph). It shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, releasing several kilotons of energy above the Ural Mountains.

The European Space Agency said it was not related to the asteroid currently slated to buzz by earth about 17,000 miles away.

This made me think of the second coming of Jesus!  It will be a complete surprise to everyone on earth!  Unlike the meteor over Russia, everyone on earth will see Jesus when He splits the sky, and billions of bright, dazzling, eye blinding angels will attend Jesus to this earth!  Jesus will soon come to take all of His children to heaven, where there  will be no more sin, no more pain, death, or suffering!  Thank You Jesus!
Revelation 1:7, "Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven.
And everyone will see him—even those who pierced him.
And all the nations of the world will mourn for him.

Utah Plane Crash Captured By Cell Phone!

This is the first time I have seen a plane crash from inside the plane!  These people were very blessed, as Creator God's angels were watching over them! Psalm 34:7, "For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him."
Have you ever felt like your life was out of control, like you're at the mercy of circumstances in your life?  I think we have all felt that way.  Jesus Christ can take those circumstances and make them a blessing instead of what seems like a curse! 
I bet the people on the plane think a little differently about life and what's important. 
Let Jesus into your heart, and give Him the controls of your life.  He will quickly melt the ice off of the carburetor and keep you from  crashing!

At least one penguin stopped and looked both ways.  Hmmm, which way to go?! 
There are two paths to choose in life.  One road leads to true peace, happiness and eternal life, and the other leads to destruction and death.  Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.  Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track."

When was the last time you had this level of childlike excitement, a blend of pure joy, awe and wonder?
