Radiant Aunt:
Relax...Happy Holidays can mean anything from a combined Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to a whatever you are celebrating greeting (hanucka does begin on the 25th this year)...one wayor another it is a well wishing to others. Even Christmas trees owe their origin to Queen Victorias husband who brought the tradition over from Germany...from past pagan rituals. Christ was born in summer, yet we celebrate his birth on the Day that Mithras' birthday had been traditionally celebrated on...Rome's way of squashing Mithras. Christmas is going nowhere. WHat is important is that we use this time to remember Christ and his birth. (okay the book of Matthew makes him about 3 when the Magi show up with gifts, but the exchange of gifts remember there part in his life as well). What is important is that we share the time with our loved ones and remember Christ. Happy holidays or Merry Christmas doesn't change what you celebrate. Many athiests even celebrate Christmas and call it Christmas. TV ads are to Sell things, not push religion. That said and done....

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy Holidays as well. Especially to you Josietta

Teema: Christmas Devotional
Holiday Wars
by John Fischer


This Christmas, Christians have been caught in the throes of a war on semantics. We are seeing and hearing more “Happy Holidays” and less “Merry Christmases.” The beloved “Christmas tree” has turned into being a “Holiday tree." One television ad plays regularly with carolers singing: “We Wish You A Happy Holiday” to the tune of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”

One can surely see why a general mood of fighting back could prevail. I have seen numerous emails floating around with pictures of Christmas trees lamenting the secularization of Christmas. The underlying tone of these messages so far has been one of anger and partisanship, as if to say: “They can't take our Christmas away from us!”

It's an interesting question and one we need to consider seriously. If this a battle, on what level do we fight it? If someone wishes us “Happy Holidays,” do we respond with a hearty “Merry Christmas,” thus striking a blow for the kingdom of God?

I'm not so sure it's as important as all this. After all, it's Christ that is the issue, not Christmas. I don't even think Jesus cares very much about what we or anyone else call an evergreen with lights on it in December. Jesus never cared much about labels anyway; He always cared more about what was in the heart.

Here's how you put Christ back into Christmas: you celebrate Him as Lord of your life and ruler of your heart, and you love even those who want to take Christmas out of the Holiday equation. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). He came to forgive sins -- mine… yours… everybody's. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. Let's not let religious pride get in the way of the core message of the gospel. It's never been us against them; it's us for them. We mustn't forget that Jesus came to die for the very people who are trying to secularize our country.

In our zeal to keep Christ in Christmas, lets be careful not to alienate the very people who need Him the most -- those who don't know Him. People are more likely to be set on the road to salvation by loving, caring believers who are secure in the hope of the real Christ living in their lives, and whose faith is brighter than any Christmas tree.

It's what's in your heart that really counts this Christmas. Let's not get so taken up with fighting to save a name that we forget to live out the reality of the hope of Christ to the world. If people end up encountering the real Christ of Christmas, it will matter little what we end up calling the holiday itself.

Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chatisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His Stripes we are healed.

Keys to Gods Relationships
A major emphasis of Jesus' teaching is how to build and maintain right relationships with God and others. He views these relationships as neither unimportant nor extraneous, but as vital components of our Christian lives. Knowing God is our highest priority, but this pursuit should not replace or diminish our interpersonal relationships with others. Rather, our personal interaction with God should produce within us the qualities of character that build and sustain all our relationships.

Scriptural references:

Matthew 5:24,25; Luke 12:57,58: Practice instance reconciliation. Understand that conflicts cause much greater damage to relationships when left unresolved.
Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:27, 28, 32-36: Love by choice, not by circumstance. Remember to overcome evil through love.
Matthew 6:14; Mark 11:25: Understand that God forgives us our sins as we forgive others who have sinned against us. Adopt the forgiveness of others into your prayerlife as a daily discipline.
Matthew 7:1-5; Luke 6:37, 38, 41, 42: Refrain from judging others. Be diligent to ask the Lord to examine your own heart, and be faithful to respond to His conviction.
Luke 14:7-11: Avoid striving for public recognition. Seek to walk in humility in every situation.

Matthew 5:43-48
Love for Enemies
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Teema: Malchut. The Kingdom within..
Mort toimetatud (27. november 2005, 11:55:11)
by Rabbi Shimon Leiberman

The last sefirah is the most important because God uses it to act through His creation.
The tenth and final sefirah is called "malchut" ("kingdom"), and in many ways this is the most important of the sefirot.

In order to understand what malchut is, we must refer back to the original verse that contains the ten sefirot: "To You, God, is greatness, strength, modesty, victory, awe, for all that is in heavens and earth; to You, God, is the kingdom." (1 Chronicles 29:11) We note that the description of malchut is an almost separate sentence and it restarts with the phrase, "to You, God, is..." Why this distinction?

Let us explain this by defining what malchut is.

When we think of a king or a kingdom, we imagine a dictator imposing his will on a helpless populace, draining them of their resources to be used for his own personal aggrandizement. Even if we picture him as a benevolent despot, he is at best an efficient bureaucrat.

But when we speak of God and the concept of kingdom, we refer to a completely different model.

The model we have in mind is of a king who has a picture of good and bad, an ideology of right and wrong, and teaches the society around him those ideas and values. That society is then awakened to what is really right and structures itself and its institutions accordingly. When society has finished this process, it thereby amplifies and proclaims those values that the king had in his heart and mind.

That society is thereby not only expressing the king's norms and values, but showing that these norms and values are really the inner norms and values of the people in the country.

While we do not live with kings and it might be difficult for us to picture this, we can definitely use the illustration of a good teacher. A teacher who allows the students to "do as they wish" is not a teacher at all. The students have not received anything from him.

On the other hand, a teacher who forces his students to do as he says has merely imposed external shackles on them. He has not really affected them in any way, and he is not a teacher. The real teacher is the one who inspires his students, so that they realize that their own real feelings and values are those espoused by their teacher.

This is malchut in the true sense. It is God's actions and attributes - not as expressed by God, but rather as human beings express them. It is as if God's actions have struck a resonant chord in us, and we thereby act in a similar manner.

This requires that we do God's will, and not sin, and that we do so with free will. For if we do not do God's will, then we are not a reflection of the Divine process in the world. But if we do God's will out of fear then we are responding like the students who are forced by their teacher to do the teacher's bidding, and not from an inner sense of connection with God.

KING VS. DICTATOR

The way we respond to God is often expressed by commentators as the contrast of two synonyms:

Malchut meaning monarchial reign, and
Mamlacha meaning dictatorial rule.
Thus we say in our prayers, "...and they accepted (God's) malchut [monarchial reign] willingly." Whereas the verse speaking about the relationship between God and the nations who have not yet accepted Him states, "For onto God is mamlacha [dictatorial rule] and He is ruler over the gentile nations." This means that God really wishes to evoke malchut in the world, but as far as those nations are concerned, He rules over them in a dictatorial way but does not bring about malchut in them.

But, if we are to define the sefirah of malchut correctly, we need to be clear that (unlike the other nine) it is an attribute of God which does not emanate from God directly. Rather it emanates from God's creation -- when that creation reflects and evinces God's glory from within itself.

This is the reason why it is stated separately in the verse -- "To You, God, is greatness, strength, modesty, victory, awe, for all that is in heavens and earth; to You, God, is the kingdom" -- for there is a great gap between the first nine sefirot and the last one. The first nine are a continuous stream of God's actions which strike humanity and affect us. When we then absorb these influences of God, find them in ourselves, change and thereby reflect God's glory - then we evince malchut.

It is in this sense that this is the most important sefirah. In malchut, God does not act merely by Himself, but rather God acts through us.

Malchut is the goal that God had in mind when He created the world. All of the other sefirot are only the means to see malchut emerge.

In relating to the first nine sefirot, we are outside observers - admiring God's handiwork objectively. We may be impressed but somehow it never quite becomes an overwhelming experience. It is only when we hear the voice of God echoing from within us - which is malchut - that we are truly transformed.

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.

"If you have the time" I said.

God smiled. "My time is eternity."

"What questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you most about humankind?"

God answered...

"That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future."

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived."

God's hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...

"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons
you want your children to learn?"

"To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved."

"To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,

"Just know that I am here... always."

Teema: A Thanksgiving Psalm
Thanksgiving Psalm
by John Fischer


Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before Him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are His.
We are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with Thanksgiving;
Go into His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
And His faithfulness continues to each generation.

- Psalm 100

It’s really pretty simple.

He is God; we are not. He made us and so we belong to Him. We don’t really experience our own fulfillment until we are in a position to praise Him and offer Him thanks. Any other posture is arrogance and sheer folly, not because He is unkind or lording it over us, but because He is who He is, and we are who we are. We don’t get the point of our existence until we get this.

Whether you are in prison or in a mansion, alone or with family and friends – whether you are poor or rich, at war or at peace – this is true about you and it is true about me. This is not constraint. It is not praise on demand. It is sensible and true, the holy and right thing to do.

We were made for this – for the giving of thanks and the whole-hearted acknowledging of our Creator. We will do this forever. We are never really happy until we are doing this. This is not just one day out of the year to give thanks. It is our way of life every day – our lifeline with sanity, our tie to the real reason we are alive.

So while a country stops and gives thanks over an abundance of food, give thanks, not only because it is Thanksgiving Day, but because it is the right thing to do – the only thing to do.

Kyle is our youngest daughters twin..age 3. He stopped breathing at birth. God saw fit that Kyle was to be with us. Drs. brought Kyle back to us. He was a little smaller than Blake..but has caught up pretty much now.
He seems like any other little boy..except when he started walking he started on his tip toes in his bare feet. First it looked like maybe a baby thing or habit. Then it started to get worse and now even with shoes he walks and runs on his toes. Really, he is so fast its hard to catch him sometimes. He always has been more senstive, hyper and still crys alot. My daughter and son in law took him to the Dr. yesterday. The Dr. said it could be muliplesclerosis.. another one he mentioned or maybe just a habit.. They have now put casts on both legs. This will be very hard on Kyle but the casts have to be done. Through this trying time for Kyle, my daughter, her family and our family please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers. I know that thru God's help Kyle will have the best of care.

Teema: *this devotional gave me tears in eyes...
Solo Violin
by John Fischer

In Atlanta, a killer on a rampage was stopped in his tracks by a single mom wielding Day 33 of The Purpose Driven Life. I wonder if any purpose can be found in New Orleans right now. At first glance it looks like chaos and anarchy with loss and despair higher than the high water mark in town.

But there are bound to be a number of believers in that mass of homeless humanity, and by that I don’t mean good, regular churchgoers, I mean people who know Jesus, and because they know Jesus, they have strength of character, fortitude and purpose that nothing in this world can faze.

This is a time when truth is tested, and real character prevails. You either lose it or you stand solid like a well-rooted tree when all around is giving way. People who have a purpose in life beyond their possessions or their place – people who know that a relationship with God is their most valued possession and nothing can take that away – will rise to the occasion. These people will continue to worship God even when their church is under water. They will grow leaps and bounds in their faith because faith becomes tangible in moments like this. They will bond immediately with others who know Christ, and serve those around them because that’s all you can do – that or complain, and they will be too buoyed by the reality of their faith to complain about anything. And they will realize a mission to spread the love of Jesus like never before.

Pray for these people, and know they are there. They are all over the place, and their time has come. Like Ashley Smith’s time came alone with a killer in her apartment, the time for a calm, steady faith, and even suitable humor has come.

There’s a story already out about a man in the Superdome who managed to escape the youth hostel where he was staying with his violin, and surrounded by the stench of human waste and the press of crowded suffering, he took his instrument out and began to play the Adagio of Bach’s “Sonata No. 1 in G Minor.”

“These people have nothing,” he said. “I have a violin. And I should play for them. They should have something.”

Pray for the believers who escaped with their faith and now have something to share with those who have nothing. It is their time to stand out like a violin in an overcrowded arena.

There are about a half a million people displaced, 150,000 of them from below the poverty line. WHat's left of the city is covered not only in water and sewage, but industrial waste, corpses, etc. This is not Just about New Orleans, but also other areas like Mississippi and other parts of Louisianna that have been hit. another number is www.give.org.
Already there are scam sites on the web, so it is encouraged to make donations to the redcross website provided and other official sites here like the Salvation Army.
Remember its not just those trapped in the city that need help. One half of a million people uprooted. Food, water, etc. are needed desparately. People are fighting over supplies. In the stadium holding more than 30,000 people there was no power,no facilities, no water, and many died within that shelter with nothing done to remove the bodies. People are looting for basic needs and shooting at each other and rescue helicopters. Stealing boats from those who go in to save others and worse. It is a horrible scene where rescue workers are attacked by the very people they are trying to help. It will be years in cleaning up if ever. At least a year before any of these people return home. If they ever do. How do you get rid of the toxins? Please help in any way you can. Even the surrounding states are not equipped to help a half a million people.

Subject: Do Not Break - it is 4 years strong






This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going...
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those
who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and
AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the
innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the
deceased.



IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all! I get,
I'd lik! e to say how much I love you
and I hope we ne ver forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.




PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT!!!!!!

Teema: CALLER ID
The pastor's church was called Almighty God Tabernacle. On a Saturday night sevral weeks ago,the pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for the house.It was about 10:00 PM , but his wife didn't answer the phone.
The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she did not answer, but decided to wrap up a few more things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried agin she answered right away.away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung in their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Minday, the pastor received a call atthe church office, which was the phone that he'd call on Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor could not figure out what the guy was talking about.Ihen the guy said,"It rang and rang,but i didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, " Thats Ok.Let me tell you my story You see i was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before i did, I prayed, 'God if you're out there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now'
At that point the phone started to ring. i looked at the caller id and it said Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer
