Just A Few Random Thoughts Today

Just A Few  Random Thoughts Today

I woke up this morning looking out my window.  I opened my eyes to see a beautiful reddish pink sky. There is an old saying that instantly came to my mind.  Whether it be an old wives tale I do not know.  The saying goes like this and may be commonly known by many. 

"Red in the morning sailors warning.  Red at night sailors delight." 

My thoughts  are that if we see the red sky in the morning we should be alerted to bad weather  approaching.   

Now as I look out my window I see a beautiful sun shining day and I'm telling myself  I  need to get out and walk and try avoiding any more extra fluff .    After our Thanksgiving meal  yesterday.  I have decided to start my New Year's resolution early.

I've done some extra setting lately because of sewing and I don't want the fluff  to take me over. 

  You know,  life at my age has taught me many things and one of them is about losing weight and gaining it back.  You start out as an hour glass. Then one day you figure out you're a pear.  Then you lose weight and regain your hour glass shape, then you gain back and you're a pear  again. This process goes on like this .. hour glass, pear, hour glass, pear, hour glass, pear,  PUMPKIN.    For the first time you're a  pumpkin.  Well just to let you know I'm very close to the pumpkin stage and it's very hard to change after you get there. 

This was the closest illustration I could think of if I were to compare myself to a pumpkin.  Especially when I'm all dressed up in orange to go to a Massillon Tiger Game.  If I were to go to a game on Halloween night- all  I'd have to do is put on orange and it's an instant costume.... A  PUMPKIN. 

Someone said to me just tonight winning happens with little gains... and my response was sometimes  losing comes with little gains too.  If it's gaining weight back a little bit at a time -  In this case I would rather lose than gain.

What Better Way To Start A New Year

What Better Way To Start A New Year

 What better way to start a New Year;

Make Jesus the plan for your life.

This world may offer pleasures or wealth;

But in Jesus there's eternal life.

Jesus is the answer, that is real;

Jesus is the pathway to hope.

The promise given from ancient times;

Because God truly , loves us so.

He's the same as yesterday, you know;

He's never changed since time began.

He was a permanent sacrifice;

He is salvation for ev'ry man.  (mankind)

What better way to start a New Year;

Not in vain, living for the world.

But storing up treasures in heaven:

To cast at the feet of our Lord.

He will not refuse a humble soul;

That comes to Him, with repentance.

He casts our sin, from memory;

Jesus is our greatest defense.

He paid the price for our sin that day;

Each nail, each stripe, each drop of blood.

Each agonizing breath, until death;

For us to live, because of love.

What better way to start a New Year;

Make Jesus the plan for your life.

This world may offer pleasures or wealth;

But in Jesus there's eternal life.

John 10:27-30

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
 I and my Father are one.

The Best Year Is Yet To Come

The Best Year Is Yet To Come

Here again, a brand new year;

A story not yet told.

Prepare for something wonderful:

Plant seeds of purest  gold.

Yield now to thoughts, reflect anew ;

Noise out with joy on time.

Entreat the Lord  to bless the new;

Waiting, the New Years  chime.

Year goodbye, but yet, hello;

Each day is precious time .

A t daybreak, the New Year reigns :

Ring forth  His Truth sublime.

----

Looking upon this New Year;

With a happy ending.

Saying goodbye to last year:

With a new beginning.

Wishing a happy new year:

Upon your family.

With Jesus at the center;

The best year it can be.

Noise out with joy on time.

Entreat the Lord  to bless the new;

Waiting, the New Years  chime.

 The BEST year is yet to come.

Make Jesus Number One.

New Years Theme Song

Let Him Be Our Theme

Song:

In two thousand thirteen;
Let faith be our theme.
Rejoicing in Jesus;
Who's love has redeemed.

With hope let us love Him;
With all of our heart.
With cheer let us serve Him;
And never depart.

With honor let's linger;
In prayer to Him.
With purpose let's study;
it  cleanses within.

In two thousand thirteen;
A brand new routine.
Rejoicing forever;
Let Him.... be our theme.
