I Offer Me

-



Do you pray about your gift giving? When you have a large family or a lot of friends it can become overwhelming. Some people are exciting to shop for, others give you great hints and then there are those you just want to give a card with cash because you have no idea what they want. 

When you shop online or have social media accounts you can get sucked into the deep hole of advertisement temptation and buy things that really are not needed. Been there, done that this very season. Hope they all enjoy those marshmallow snowmen.

How about making this list and checking it more than twice.  What can we give those who need the gift of Jesus in their lives?

Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water. John 4:10

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Consider these lyrics written by Nicole C. Mullen song...                                                                                                    The gifts that were brought to the baby Jesus had all been made by him.

"Oh Lamb of God I offer me."

Once upon a long night after a hard cry Somewhere in Bethlehem
A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying I am Emmanuel
Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence And a message to the land
A widow held him cherish the God Who became a man
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet So Lamb of God I offer me
Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them Searching all the earth
Till they found the one child the very godchild Who ruled the universe
Did they know the lady's little baby Was God in fully man
And everything they gave him he himself Had made with his hands
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet So Lamb of God I offer me
I bring You all my hopes I bring You all my dreams
I give You all my soul My min and all my strength
I wrap them all inside My heart to give to the And I come
O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him, Christ
Oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace What tribute shall I offer Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet So Lamb of God may I offer
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God, please let me offer me Lamb of God I offer me

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
