IMAVISION
I just read this poem & felt it too good not to share on this CHRISTmas Eve! God bless!
{This is another version of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' }
'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house Not a creature was praying, Not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed. Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.
When out of the East there arose such a clatter. I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!
When what to my wondering eyes should appear But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY!
The light of His face made me cover my head It was Jesus! returning just like He had said. And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.
In the Book of Life which He held in His hand Was written the name of every saved man. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; When He said "it's not here" my head hung in shame.
The people whose names had been written with love He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready He rose without a sound. While all the rest were left standing around.
I fell to my knees, but it was too late; I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate. I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.
In the words of this poem the meaning is clear; The coming of Jesus is drawing near. There's only one life and when comes the last call We'll find that the Bible was true after all!
(by Reverend Edward M. Gionest, Sr.)
To those who receive Him, He gives the power to become the sons of God, even to those that believe on his name. Repent and declare with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. 2259 days ago

"You can do what you want to do, accomplish what you want to accomplish, attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind - not all of a sudden, perhaps not in one swift and sweeping act of achievement - but you can do it gradually, day by day and play by play, if you want to do it, if you work to do it, over a sufficiently long period of time." --William E.

You asked what I was reading on my feed, well, I am a fan of mystery. Not the gory, ugly kind of stuff, but intrigue and suspense. I have found an English author who writes Edwardian England timed mystery novels, her name is Anne Perry. I love her! She's clean, and her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels have kept me coming back for more!! I really recommend her! I only read at night, sometimes a little bit, sometimes way too much! Last night I finished the book. Totally awesome ending, even though it wasn't the expected one! Have a great day, and enjoy this summer to the fullest!!! !!!!! 2392 days ago
