Mangoes and Star Apples on my Journey

Just taking a drive out in the country areas can be so much fun.  This journey cannot happen on a daily basis, so when it comes, take it with pure joy. Words sometime cannot explain the feeling of sheer ecstasy when you drive through the country side. 

This is just a continuation from my recent post in regards to a trip to St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.  In the country, the air is so clean and fresh, you want to stop and lie down in a patch of green grass somewhere and take it all in.  What a magnificent place my God has created.  If only we could all live in peace on this earth.
Mangoes and Star Apples
The fruits along the roadside are always one of my main delights.  I was very pleased to see vendors selling star apple, mangoes, pineapples and various other fruits.  However, mango is my favourite and I just could not leave out the star apple. Yummy!

I bought my fruits and by the time I reached home, those fruits were almost gone, in the belly of course. I cannot help but appreciate nature and the people who bring awareness to this physical and natural world of ours.

Nailing My Sins To His cross

That day when they crucified my Saviour, He was willing to pay all the cost.  When they drove the nails through His body, they were nailing my sins to His cross. Oh the shame of it, my sins crucified Him that day, my sins were to blame.  Forgive me Lord I pray, I will live so the world can know that I love You for nailing my sins to the cross. Although this was centuries ago now, and I was not even living at all, The Bible says Jesus died for all sinners.  This includes me, Oh praise His dear name.  Thank you Jesus!

I Look To You, Dear Lord

You are my hope, the Lord of my life.  I wait on You and move cautiously in my decisions.  I am not ashamed to trust in Your guidance, Lord.  Instead I feel thankful for the trust in You.  I am filled with peace.  Throughout the day my thoughts often turn to You for direction and strength.  In quiet and confidence I find the strength only You can give. You, dear Father, are my Rock and my defender; I shall not fear.  I know I believe, and I am persuaded that You keep me close to You day by day. I look to You.  I doubt not in Your unfailing love for me.  Thank You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.  Anita Corine Donihue

Laying Crowns At Jesus' Feet

Image
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."It is possible to earn a crown and then to lose it again.  Wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? May God grant that it will not happen to us.  John 19:5 tells us of a mock coronation when they crowned the Lord Jesus with a cruel crown of thorns.  What a demonstration of the depravity of fallen man.  In Revelation 4:10-11, the elders take their crowns and give them to Jesus saying, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power."  I want to have crowns to lay at His feet at that time.  O the utter shame of a Christian who does  not have at least one crown to lay at His feet.  He wins the crown for us as we yield to Him.  The crown is rightly His, for He has won.  I desire to be able to lay many crowns at His blessed feet. What about you? Some of the crowns are: Crowns for runners: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 Crowns for soul winners: 1 Thessalonian
