My Message For The New Year!

[Falla39]

This is the New Year's message I sent to our family today! We must
emphasize the importance of getting the Word of God in our hearts.

Before she left for Glory a few days ago, Sis. Nona Freeman left a message for the New Year
to encourage those still here, to "HIDE THE WORD". No one can steal what we have inside.

Before our late father left for Glory, he had marked in his well worn Bible that in 1989, he had
finished his Bible reading schedule early (Sept) and then he went HOME in Oct. 89. He had read
his Bible through the last 13 yrs of his life. That was not counting all the previous yrs as a teenager
that his late mother had read and taught her young son to pray, and read GOD's WORD. She not
only taught him to read the WORD, but read and studied it with him. No wonder his children today
know the importance of getting God's Word in our hearts. Dad emphasized reading God's Word all
of our lives. And praying. Daily! How long can we go without natural food! and drink! The spiritual man
is more important and how often do we feed the inner/spiritual man!

To all the younger ones, you may not understand all you read, BUT IF you will read it, it will do you
GOOD! Many do not like broccoli, spinach, carrots, veggies, etc., but "EAT" it anyway. It will do you good, although you may not understand why until later!

Love and Blessings,

Mom & Grandma

Note:
We must NOT leave it to others to teach our children. We, as parents are responsible
for the
training up" in the WAY they SHOULD go! Every man shall bear his own burden. We can
help "bear one another's burden's in prayer, etc, but what each man has birthed, he is
responsible for, to train up, and provide for. Naturally and spiritually.

Brother,
If this world knew the value of the Word of God as we were taught and
applied it to their lives, this world would be in a much better shape.

An eldely brother, former missionary, minister, teacher. recently made the
statement that the Word is Jesus. When we lay aside the Word of God
and let dust collect on it for days, weeks, months, etc., we are neglecting
Jesus. This precious gentleman is nearing his 89th birthday. He has the
sweetest spirit and is so humble.

Jesus is the sweetest name I know.
And He's just the same, as His lovely Name!
And that's the reason why I love Him So,
For Jesus is the sweetest Name I know.

Hugs,
