Jesus has saved us from a horrable end.
He rescued us with love, grace and open arms!

The salvation story for man and that of my rescue dog's life are very similar.
I wanted to write about this because the stories seem paralell.

Molly was born a homeless mutt in Chiuauah Mexico. She was placed in a pit by the Mexican authorities, called the  "Horrible Place." With no hope, she awaited  her turn for being electracuted. All the caught strays die that way. It is the cheapest means to euthanize them in Mexico.
But the she was saved! Just as we are saved from eternity in the pit, so was Molly!
Some kind ladies visit the pit every week, literally swooping over the fence to rescue dogs. Molly was the only dog out of 250, that was saved that day.

She was then sent to an organzation where she was quarintined for 30 days, given medical help, and send over the border for adoption. She is the joy of my life.

Just as this adoption organazation, saves strays, cleans them up and gives them a second chance, so does Jesus to the lost. He saves them, heals them from broken hearts and sore wounds, giving them a chance to live a better life in Him.
Pretty cool huh?

THINK OF SUCH THINGS!

Philippians 4:8

This is a messianic Psalm, a  prophesy about Christ. It is very sad, but it is also extremely touching and worth the read. David wrote it, and it is read as if Jesus is talking.

Enjoy.

Psalm 22

For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David.

 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
       Why are you so far from saving me,
       so far from the words of my groaning?

 2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
       by night, and am not silent.

 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
       you are the praise of Israel. ^[a]

 4 In you our fathers put their trust;
       they trusted and you delivered them.

 5 They cried to you and were saved;
       in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

 6 But I am a worm and not a man,
       scorned by men and despised by the people.

 7 All who see me mock me;
       they hurl insults, shaking their heads:

 8 "He trusts in the LORD;
       let the LORD rescue him.
       Let him deliver him,
       since he delights in him."

 9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
       you made me trust in you
       even at my mother's breast.

 10 From birth I was cast upon you;
       from my mother's womb you have been my God.

 11 Do not be far from me,
       for trouble is near
       and there is no one to help.

 12 Many bulls surround me;
       strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

 13 Roaring lions tearing their prey
       open their mouths wide against me.

 14 I am poured out like water,
       and all my bones are out of joint.
       My heart has turned to wax;
       it has melted away within me.

 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
       and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
       you lay me ^[b] in the dust of death.

 16 Dogs have surrounded me;
       a band of evil men has encircled me,
       they have pierced ^[c] my hands and my feet.

 17 I can count all my bones;
       people stare and gloat over me.

 18 They divide my garments among them
       and cast lots for my clothing.

 19 But you, O LORD, be not far off;
       O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

 20 Deliver my life from the sword,
       my precious life from the power of the dogs.

 21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
       save ^[d] me from the horns of the wild oxen.

 22 I will declare your name to my brothers;
       in the congregation I will praise you.

 23 You who fear the LORD, praise him!
       All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
       Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

 24 For he has not despised or disdained
       the suffering of the afflicted one;
       he has not hidden his face from him
       but has listened to his cry for help.

 25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
       before those who fear you ^[e] will I fulfill my vows.

 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
       they who seek the LORD will praise him—
       may your hearts live forever!

 27 All the ends of the earth
       will remember and turn to the LORD,
       and all the families of the nations
       will bow down before him,

 28 for dominion belongs to the LORD
       and he rules over the nations.

 29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
       all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
       those who cannot keep themselves alive.

 30 Posterity will serve him;
       future generations will be told about the Lord.

 31 They will proclaim his righteousness
       to a people yet unborn—
       for he has done it.

Psalm 91

 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 

 2 I will say  of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust.

 

May God Bless You.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

If you Don't know Christ as your Lord and Saviour....remember He First Loved you.

 

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting Life."

Psalm 63 :1-7


 "1 O God, you are my God,
       earnestly I seek you;
       my soul thirsts for you,
       my body longs for you,
       in a dry and weary land
       where there is no water.

 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
       and beheld your power and your glory.

 3 Because your love is better than life,
       my lips will glorify you.

 4 I will praise you as long as I live,
       and in your name I will lift up my hands.

 5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
       with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

 6 On my bed I remember you;
       I think of you through the watches of the night.

 7 Because you are my help,
       I sing in the shadow of your wings...."

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow

Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
(O,k...sorry. Had to but in right here. Does this remind anyone of our schools in this Country?)

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near
(hmmmm...)
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply

Hang'n On
By Lexi

Hang'n on to Jesus,
When the times are tough,
Hang'n on to Jesus,
When the way gets rough,

Hang'n on to Jesus,
When He's the only rope,
Hang'n on to Jesus
'Cause He's our only hope,

Hang'n on to Jesus,
'Cause only He can save,
Hang'n on to Jesus,
When no longer we feel brave,

Hang'n on to Jesus,
When down below waits death,
Hang'n on to Jesus,
With our final breathe!
