What is the Good News?
Wednesday, 21. November 2007, 16:34:51
We are bombarded daily, hourly with negative news.
When you watch television, listen to the radio, read the newspaper...Is there ever any GOOD news?
Over 2000 years ago the ultimate in
This long awaited news break finally came about as it was prophesied time & time again...
The birth of Jesus Christ!
This was no fable, not a fairy tale..this event was historically documented. Though the history books won't say this, I will...
The Son of God was born!!
Why is this Good news? (I can hear some of you asking this.
)
Glad you asked!
This is good news becauase after hundreds of years of man trying to live up to God's standards and failing... God, in His great Love for all mankind provided a way for us to be reconciled to Him. To be able to have communication with Him.
You might have read a lot of the Old Testament in the Bible...and been terrified
of this God Who seemed to take pleasure in destroying entire races of people. (I know I used to be on of these terrified people)--- Believe me, He took no pleasure in destroying them. He was, and still is a Holy God....and couldn't have sin come into contact with His presence...(I won't go off in this direction right now...)
You have been mislead my friends (if you believe this is how God is), totally and utterly misguided!
The simple Truth is this:
Jesus, God's only son, sent by God to be a Living example to demonstrate Himself- His attributes, Characteristics, His LOVE..on the earth--to demonstrate His Great Love for us...and by us simply believing the Lordship of Jesus Christ--we have been given BOLD & CONFIDANT access to a Loving Heavenly Father.
Jesus said these words while He was on the earth...it was prophesied in Isaiah (61)
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings
to the meek, the poor, and afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor]...."
This may sound like a cliche...but,
God Loves You!
I don't care who you are, what you have done....He Loves You! There is freedom in that Love, There is freedom from bondage, guilt, anxiety, fear, worry, sickness, disease, poverty...
What other god can offer you that? What other belief system?
Believe me,...absolutely None!
I prayed today that the Holy Spirit would guide me in writing something about the Birth of Christ since we are coming up to Christ-mas time.
So you might see, that when the angels appeared at Jesus' birth and sang, "Glory to God in the highest, Peace and Goodwill towards man"...it wasn't just a cute song that we sing about at Christmas time..this is the Truth of God's purpose in Jesus's birth.
Peace & Goodwill are available in Christ!
Salvation is available to anyone who calls apon Jesus and declares Him Lord over their lives!
May we, like Mary, be so humble and say, "Be it done to me, according to Your Word." (Luke 1:38)

I am sure I have mentioned before that I work on Thursdays at our church.
I volunteer in the kitchen with a group of ladies. We offer a 'free' luncheon to the community. At first we were talking about it being a 'soup' kitchen. But that denoted that just the 'poor' would come in. So, we opened the doors to WHOEVER wants to come!
Mostly people come because they are lonely. I have grown to these people.

What is Love?This is really good. How to treat others..

THE WAY WE TREAT PEOPLE
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1. - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the ast one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.''Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?" Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
"Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."

The other night, when I was taking that moon photo, a poem was brewing inside.
I didn't know exactly what until yesterday morning.

Meet 'Shane' and a challenge to people around the world.
Saturday, 3. February 2007, 14:31:02
CHILD PROFILE
Name: Shane
Age: 7
Diagnosis: A.L.L. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Likes: all sports, building things, video games
Dislikes: being in the hospital for long periods of time
Favorite thing in the whole world: Lego
At almost 5 years old Shane was diagnosed with A.L.L. After 1 month into the treatment he was in early remission, meaning there were no cancer cells in his blood. Shane's family was very pleased with the early results, but his protocol called for 130 weeks of treatment. Then on July 6th, 2006 Shane relapsed after completing 108 of the 130 weeks. It was a shock to everyone including his doctors. Shane may have to undergo a bone marrow transplant down the road, but the good thing is that his brother Jacob is a match. Presently, there is no sign of cancer in Shane's system since relapsing.
I received this in an e-mail this morning...
I just thought I would put this out here...it would be soooo cool for this little boy to get cards from around the globe. I have a 7 year old son and can't even imagine what Shane's family is going through. Prayers are great too!

Please take a quick look at the attached message - an Ottawa-area 7 year old boy, Shane, is battling Leukemia and wants to be recognized as the world record holder for having received the most wish cards. Canadians are often noted for displaying the most heart in the way they play the game of hockey - I firmly believe the people who make up the general hockey community are often deservedly applauded for being caring, down to earth people. Let's ROCK this kid and send him as many cards as we can.......
Apparently a drop-off station will be located at the Arena as well as Champlain Cleaners in Rockland - also, many other sites are listed on the KISS FM website www.1053kissfm.com or even Shane's home address;
Shane Bernier
PO Box 485

Hello everyone,
As maybe some of you have heard on the radio, Shane is a little cancer patient at CHEO, and has been in hospital for almost a full year. It came to the media's attention that Shane's biggest wish is to beat the world record of being the patient that receives the most wish cards, let it be Get well, birthday, next Christmas, next valentines, next whatever....KISS FM as well as Channel A are all spreading the word to help out this child's wish. For more information please visit www.1053kissfm.com
I am sending this challenge to all that receive this e-mail to encourage their work place, organizations, Associations, teams etc. to invite the Eastern Community to get involved and gather as many wish cards as possible. There will be a drop off station at the Rockland Arena for all that wish to send Shane a card (bought or hand made).
If you wish to send directly to SHANE: please send to
Shane
C/O KISS FM
2001 Thurston Dr.
Ottawa ON, K1G6C9
or at any other drop off location listed on 105 Kiss FM's web site
To All VP's of Initiation and Novice in District III, I challenge you to get your Init and Novice players to each bring a card to Rockland when you come to our home town to play or send directly to the above address or any other drop off locations listed on Kiss FM's web site (if you can also challenge you other VP's in the Atom and Up levels, that would be great).
To both VP's of Nation and PGL of Rockland, I challenge you to do the same with your own teams.
To all my Novice and Rockland teams, please let this child know how much we care. He doesn't have the same chance to play hockey like our kids do.
thank you all for this cause,
Isabelle Crnjac
VP Initiation Novice Rockland
I just thought I would put this out here...it would be soooo cool for this little boy to get cards from around the globe. I have a 7 year old son and can't even imagine what Shane's family is going through. Prayers are great too!
