God’s Amazing Love

I have asked myself several times what I would like to do with America if I were God. We have mocked him, we have turned our backs on him, and gone our own way. Im talking to you Americans. You who have studied history enough that you know our for-fathers dedicated our country to God. And we haven’t fought when we decided abortion was good. Now,it has progressed to selling baby parts! And we didn’t even fight when our kids were not to use the Bible or pray in school. We aren’t supposed to say “Merry Christmas” at Christmas and many of us dutifully say “Happy Holidays”. This certainly is mocking God. The word, as you divide it, is Christ Mass, I don’t know how the world can change that. His Son, Jesus Christ was born that day.

Lately, the Supreme Court decided that Gay marriage is okay. Haven’t they read in the Bible, God’s word, that homosexuality is an abomination? How can something that is wrong marry? Oh, there are so many things wrong in our country.

If  I put myself in God’s shoes I think I would destroy America. Maybe a great flood would do it, oh but God promised he wouldn’t do that. Instead he sent his only Son to die for us in order to take away our sins. That is real love I would say. And it isn’t too late. If we turn back to God he loves us and won’t do anything bad. But we must turn back t0 Him if we want America to be what it used to be. Let’s watch what the candidates for President say so we will be confident in our choice. That’s the first thing we must do. Then, we must pray and do what we can to make us a strong America again.

It’s Halloween, Can Christmas Be Far Behind?

Yes it is, Halloween is here. I have put out my two jack-o-lanterns, my two black cats, and fall leaves and flowers are all over the house, ready for the children who will come to get candy. I’m waiting for that.

I don’t mind the jack-o-lanterns, black cats or colored leaves but the kids are wearing such horrible costumes these days! most of them depict death or killing. Whatever happened to Snow White, snowmen and mama cutting eyes out of an old sheet, throwing it over her little boy and saying, “Now you are a ghost”. It seems to me, Halloween has been taken over by adults making money selling the horrible costumes.

Isn’t it strange that people spend more money, these days, than they do at Christmas? I have read that statistic in tv news so I can’t say that is the truth but I know they spend an awful lot. They put up grave stones in their yards, colored lights, and music depicting killing or death. I’m sure that the devil loves all of it. And, isn’t it stranger still that Halloween is a harbinger of Christmas,when we worship the day Jesus was born and we decorate our homes with peaceful items. After all, that cute little baby born in a barn grew up to die for all and who will accept him.

Those two holidays cannot be more different, yet they are both in the late fall. Why don’t we change Halloween, sometimes called “the devil’s holiday” into something else where the kids come around in costumes made by mom’s and the main thought isn’t death or killing. That would be a real harbinger of Christmas and the devil will stop smiling.
