Celebrations To Remember

Isaiah 64:8

But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

*** Lord you are our maker and creator; we are the creatures. You  molded and made us in the perfect image of you.


Ephesians 1:11-12

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

*** We are here because we belong to God; he chose for us to be here for his purpose and not of ourselves. He and only he has control over us, and directs our life in the way he would have us go.

*** We were born as chosen children of God to have that perfect relationship with him; to praise him and give his all the glory he so deserves.



     When we were born a chapter of our life began.  Our parents helped us began -compose those first chapters in our life: by nurturing, teaching and training us in the way we should go, according to the word of God.

     During our teenage years they continue to help us form the right chapters of our book by being examples  in our life: taking us to Church services, Sunday school and Bible class. They instilled Godly principles in us by being roll models -the examples themselves.

     After we enter adulthood, marry and have children then it is time for us to help our children form chapters of their book - by putting the right things in their life.

     It is not until the days of our life has ended - expired that the book will say, "The End."  The book will be closed on this side.

     On the other side, at the appearing of a new heaven and a new earth, when we see King Jesus in all his glory - that our book will have a new beginning, because he is  the begining and the ending, Alpha and Omega.

     We are looking for God to say, "Well done good and faithful servant come on in.
Our parents are given manuscripts, the bible, on how to help write-compose our life- in the body of the book. God, himself, always write the introduction to the book; because he molds and shapes us into what he wants us to be. He is potter and we are his clay.


In celebrating the birth of a child lets take time to start that child's life with Godly principles and love.
A good book is composed of good chapters - of our life.

Until we meet again - soon.
