I Can Always Depend On You
Psalms 71:3
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

Fixing Problems
Fixing Problems
After church on Thursday night our truck would not start. My husband thought it was the battery so our
Son in law pulled out the jumper cables to charge the battery. The effort was of no avail. They then slugged through a snowdrift to get
to the store across the street. They bought tools to remove it. Even though they worked hard they still could
not remove it. They were using the wrong tools.
My daughter and I waited in the car, it was very cold
outside. Our Son in law then drove us to
K-mart to buy new tools and a new battery . Then we went back to the church. Where they worked a long time, but they still
couldn't fix the problem.
It takes us about 25 minutes to drive home from our
church. We went home to get more tools,
tools they thought would work. My
daughter and I stayed home. They went
back and worked and did not get back until midnight. The problem still was not fixed.
They weren't using the right tools and they were working on
the wrong problem. The problem they were
working on didn't exist. The truck didn't need a new battery. It needs a new starter.
Sometimes people go to fixing something and they're using the
wrong tools.
Anger isn't the right tool to use when you're trying to fix a
problem in a relationship for example.
Gossip isn't the right tool to use when you're praying for
someone in a group setting.
Tricking isn't the right tool because it creates mistrust
and confusion. Confusion is of the
devil.
We need to be sure we are using the right
tools- you know, the "righteous
tools". When dealing with the problems of life we need to use tools like
prayer and hiding Gods Word in our heart, tools like love and a soft answer, tools
like wisdom and encouragement, tools like faith and consideration. These are
the right tools.
Sometimes we think we're fixing a problem and it's just made things worse. We end up breaking something,
that would have never been broken.
Sometimes we think we have everything figured out, but all
along we were trying to fix the wrong thing.
What we were working on never needed fixing at all.
Sometimes we just need a new start. Just like our truck, it needs a new starter.
When we go to fixing problems, we need to know for sure the
problem is real.
When we go to fixing problems, we need to know it's the
right problem.
When we go to fixing problems, we need to be using the right
tools.
When we go to fixing problems we better know God wants us to
do the fixing.
Hopefully we have the right person repairing our truck, or
we may have bigger problems.
The same
way in life.
Jesus is the best fixer upper I know.
Sometimes the best tool, is leaving things in God's hands.
His grace goes a long way.

Autumn's Song Is The Harvest Song
Autumn's Song Is The Harvest Song
The garden leaves fall to the ground:
My face looks up while they fall down.
Without making one single sound;
Like flowers they lay all around.
Leaves whisking here and whipping there;
While Autumn winds sing Autumn's song.
God's creatures they must sing along;
While they're gathering all day long.
The Summer flowers are faded now;
The gardens need much love and care.
Winter knocks at the door of fall;
"Gather the Harvest! Gather it All!"
Autumn's song is the harvest song;
Can you hear the warning winds?
Calling now for you to repent:
Before the Autumn season ends.
Jesus is coming to gather;
He calls to the wandering ones.
The winds of harvest are changing
The will of the Father be done.
O come reap the harvest of hope;
A bountiful harvest of love.
Jesus our Saviors is coming;
To take us to our home above.
"Gather the harvest Lord, gather it all;"
The trumpet of heaven leads this call.
The leaves are falling, heavens calling;
"Gather the harvest , gather it all."
We've worked, we've sown and we've grown;
The garden is ready to glean.
And now winter cries out, Prepare!
Jesus is very, very near.
Jesus is very, very near.
Winter cries out, Prepare!

I Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mark 13:32
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Saved in A Snowstorm
Saved In A Snowstorm
Flurry, scurry, everywhere
the falling snow, does blow.
A flock of geese a swaying
fall to the earth below.
Doubting man, says to his wife
“Don’t ask me to believe.”
“Why would God, come down to us,
a sinful world receive?”
Hurting wife, she goes to church;
her heart down in despair.
Crying out to God above
“Show him, Lord, you care.”
Her husband hears a noise outside,
Honking geese trapped in the snow;
Cold, confused, alone,
While cold winds whip and blow.
Compassion speaking to his heart,
“Those wandering geese need saved.”
He bundled up to go outside.
He called to them and waved.
Blowing sharply, wintry winds;
He tried to call and guide.
They simply would not listen,
Though a door stood open wide.
Frustrated and greatly grieved,
He said, in words so dim,
“The only way to save the geese,
Is by becoming one of them.”
He fell upon his knees, that day,
In wintry blowing snow.
Cried out to God, “I understand”
Your love!, I see!, I know!”
God so gracious and so kind;
in compassion, heart felt love,
He came down, to dwell with man
And left His home above.
Taking on our human flesh;
He felt our human pain.
Died upon, a wooden cross;
For sinners, He was slain.
No greater love, there’s ever been;
Than that of this Great One.
In Human Flesh, Our loving God,
Sent us His only Son.
