Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!
Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for October 20 through 22
Note: October 21 is our 30th wedding anniversary - celebrate the faithfulness of God with us!
"Something Old...Something New: A Bridal Celebration!"
Daily Manna's Bible reading: Saturday: Isaiah 40:3-5 (NIV) . . . . Sunday: Psalm 119:57-59 (NIV) . . . Monday: John 14:16-21 (NIV)
I'm a romanticist at heart and learned this one, as you did, years ago...a traditional bride's outfit includes "something old, something new, something borrowed and something _______--BLUE!" You remember it too! Good--for we're about to replay that old rhyme of "good fortune" for the Bride of Christ today.You see, we've already got the "Old" and the "New" - God's Word of truth, inspiration, comfort and direction - for our year's journey. Claim God's promises--they are never OLD-fashioned; they are NEW every morning--and they're there for you each day.
And the "borrowed"? No way can we borrow the burdens from tomorrow and load them onto our shoulders today.....now we may each need to borrow a friend's shoulder to cry on--and that's OK--but let's allow the Holy Spirit to be our divine Comforter; let's "take our burdens to the Lord and leave them there!"--past, present AND future!
And the "blue"? It may be as light blue as a cloudless sky--it may be as dark blue as a stormy heart. See life through heaven's eyes, not your own--and your life will be a BRIGHT blue--as bright as the promises of your Heavenly Father! And oh yes...another idea....when you're blue this year, surf on over to the Blue Room at Peggie's Place...and I dare you to stay blue very long! Blue's not your hue when you're here, for where the Lord is, there is "fullness of joy"--and He is here!
Bride of Christ, you've got God's OLD and NEW Testaments, a great Christian friend's borrowed shoulder, and a grand old blue home on the Web--march on into the rest of your life with confidence, victory and joy--we are ONE with Him and we're going to make it! Now believe it--get on that wedding dress, HIS robe of righteousness--and have a great day! (Guys...a dress is a bit much, I know - but the robe will be fine, I promise you...!!)
And so---"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"--we're ready, Lord...here comes the BRIDE!
A Single Girl's Prayer . . . Peggie and Joe's Love Story "Lord, thank You for giving Your life that You might choose and draw us, as a Bride, unto Yourself. We take Your Name, Your promises, Your Word, into each new day, with confidence and strength, knowing You WILL be with us, Your Bride, all the way, In Jesus' Name, Amen."Bridal Chorus - Wikipedia - Scroll down to listen to the magnificent Bridal Chorus . . . Listen to wedding music clips!
Monday, October 22, is Jason's birthday - see The Birthday Boy for the celebration!

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
