BEGINNING ANEW - PROVIDING A LEGACY

BY FAITH I WALK CLIMBING HIGHER BY HIS STRENGTH






Roses always give the fragrance as well as beauty.

I wish to give the fragrance of God's grace in my life to you, even as the Joseph's Coat rose gives varied colors in each flower, as each post is made, I would like to give you something of what I have learned and am learning.  May you find that indeed, just as Jesus told the disciples in the book of Luke, chapter 24, verses 44 - 49 that "These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.   Then, opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scripture.  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  And ye are witnesses of these things.  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."   
     v.50   He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hand, and blessed them. 51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven."  

           You may not know my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.  I pray that this blog will help you to find Him who loved us and who loves us R I G H T   N O W  and is waiting to show you that you must first know that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3.23)  The only reason Jesus came into this world as a little Baby in the manger was to bring Light and Life into this world by becoming our sacrifice for sin once and for all.   His death on the cross was necessary and essential that you and I might have the opportunity to say "I am a sinner.   I sin because I am a sinner.  I need you to forgive me and wash me clean."   John 1.11,12 tells us "as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."    
        It was John who, in the spirit of Elijah, came to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus, by calling Israel to repentance.   It was John who said, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."   Again, John said,  "The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.  No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him."  (John 1.17 - 18).
        Today we have the completed Word of God - the Old and the New Testaments of Scripture to give us the record of all God has for us to know.    The Apostles were told that they were to be witnesses of  Jesus birth, death, and resurrection that in the light of the Torah and the Scriptures of the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms, others would find Christ to be their Passover Lamb, who covers our sin, and gives us His Righteousness that we may at any time approach the Living God as our Father.    

        Ask Him today to wash your sin away.
         Thank Him for dying for your sin, and for being your Passover Lamb.    
         When you ask Him to wash your sin away, and forgive you,
His dear Spirit will come into your life - into your innermost being - and He will never ever leave you nor forsake you.   
   
        When you ask Him to be your Savior, you will have Eternal Life beginning right now.     If He comes before we die, we shall be caught up to Him, but if we die before He comes, we instantly will be with the Lord.    Our bodies will be resurrected and made incorruptible when He comes as the Bridegroom to claim the Bride - the Church.    The Church is made up of all Believers, in whom the Holy Spirit lives.     The Father will one day say, "It is ready, go and get your Bride"  and so we will ever be with the Lord.

As God gives you new life, find Him by eating and drinking of His Words -   John 15.7  tells us  "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."    
       Enjoy your new relationship with God.    He is going to give you much joy in your walk with Him.

GOD HAS A PATH LAID OUT FOR YOU

GOD HAS A PATH LAID OUT FOR ME AND FOR YOU.            We need to let Him guide us.           Psalm 16.11  Thou will shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.           Here in this Primary School, my grandmother Lillias May Brewer taught for three years.   She was 26 when she married Forrest. He was about the same age.   She had a love for learning. This was the York Beach home that everyone loved and cherished.   I believe it is Lillias and Forrest on the porch here.   The story is that when Forrest's best friend asked him to be in his wedding at York Beach Maine, that when Forrest came, he KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bride's sister Lillias was a winner !  It was 1914 when Forrest married Lillias. My mother was born in 1915.  Here are photos o...

BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE

BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE In 2009 I decided to go out on January 12 about 11 in the morning to feed the birds.   You can see the bird feeder here in this photo.  It is a post with a platform on it, and I usually, in good weather, would simply reach up with a gadget someone made for me to put seed up on that platform.  It was a pcp pipe with a little 3 cup plastic container on it.   So it usually was no problem. That morning I remember, Henry had said, "let me feed the birds, June.  It is a bit icy." In that morning as I washed the dishes from my kitchen sink, I could see the blue sky above.  The day beckoned to me.   And, to my regret, I did not listen to what Henry said.  I went outside with seed for the birds in that little gadget, and I was ready to go.  Hmmm. There was snow on the grass.  I could see green grass showing.  It was just about 58 degrees outside so nothing was melting.   I should have known bett...

Along Life's Road - here by the Sea

BY THE SEA,  I NOW LIVE  by June E Cash               There is something about a Lighthouse that always helps me  to remember my childhood.   I knew that my grandmother Lillias loved the sea, and that she had grown up knowing what it was to swim in the sea.   I dearly loved my grandmother.   She gave me many photos of her life, and I know she followed the love of her life into the Berkshires, my grandfather being a farmer, she lived lovingly and nurtured my life. A lighthouse was meant to help seaman at sea who were trying to make the harbor and land safely in the haven of rest.    Then they would all leave to find their homes until the next Journey. We are on a Journey here.    Our Lighthouse is the Lord Jesus Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us that as He died and was buried and rose  again, He might give us Life because He lives.    John 14.19 ...
