Hi Friends~
Yes, I am back. I really am sorry that I haven't been here in about a week. I am having new problems with how my body is functioning. For instance, I couldn't get my right hand to open or hold anything. I dropped a glass of Ginger Ale...not a good way to find out that your hand has lost all strength. There are other problems, but I don't want to go on and on each post explaining about my personal problems. I do hope you understand, that I post as often as I can. My goal is to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays and when the Holy Spirit blesses me with a message to share. I want to serve God through this blog, and have it as an area that we can learn from each other and encourage each other.
There is a way that you can know when there is a post without needing to actually come to the blog. Just put your email in the top right section of the blog where it says you can subscribe to the blog. That way when there is a post, you will receive it in your email. You can click on the title of that email, and it will bring you to the blog, where you can see the art work, His Word, and samples of the He IS Able Card Sets of the Week! Your email will be safe. I do not even think that I can see it that way, and if I ever found out I could, I would never share it, sell it or anything like that! I promise!

| "Hi Traci! First-I love your music! Sharing God's love on blogs is such an amazing way to tell others about Jesus & I love it. Great question. I'm trying to keep my answer simple & short! Jesus was sent to be a sacrifice for everyone. By being born in a manger-opened the door for the oppressed as well as the rich & powerful. I'm sure God had multiple reasons for choosing the stable/manger. I'm just glad he did! Praise the Lord for such an amazing gift!! | |

| My reply where she left the comment: "Hi Karen~ Thank you for your gracious comments about the blog's purpose and the music! I can not take credit for this selection, however. Grace from "Th-ink-ing of You" had this playing when I started this blog, and I asked if I may use the same music...she said "Yes!" I added a few songs that are extra special to me. I enjoy Christian music, also. I love the answer you shared as to why the baby Jesus was born in the manger. I have never heard that answer...it makes perfect sense to me. And, I'm sure there are many reasons why God chose to have His Son born in the manger and that of a virgin teenager. I know that there are many things that we will not fully know until we are in Heaven with Him. I for one can not wait to find out! But patience is important. It's all in His time. Thank you so much for sharing from the heart and for being a guest of the blog. We sure appreciate you! He IS Able!

| "Another wonderful and thought provoking post, Traci! I am familiar with all 3 of the OT references to a child, but never considered them as the author has, that "a child was always at the heart of the Biblical Covenant". A child is among "the least of these" in humanity. I think Jesus had to be born in that stable for us to understand that the least became the greatest, yet humbled Himself to die on that cross for all of us." |
Sorry to hear that you have been feeling especially unwell. But encouraged that you had the energy to compose another interesting blog post. "If God is with us, who can be against us?" His favor is all we need! All others are as we are, imperfect human creations.
ReplyDeleteTraci- God is always there for us. Not feeling well is very difficult. You are an inspiration to me. You just keep going no matter how you are doing. Praying for you. Thanks for posting about God's love for each and everyone.
ReplyDeletePraying often!
