Sunday Sabbath November 8 2015  A QUIET REPOSE

Sunday is the best day to practice retirement.  That is what we did today.  Dave felt up to going to church for the first time since his surgery.  My arm is actually doing very well so it was not a hardship for me to get dressed.  I even put on my own earrings.  By service end however, we both needed to be home.  It seems that any type of pain can easily deplete our stamina.  We had a leisurely lunch, a card game and then I had to try out a “Christmas present” that Dave bought for me and insisted I use it now.  It is an electrically heated throw for the couch.  In other words, a small electric blanket with the fuzzy soft feel.  IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!  Oh man was it ever toasty and comfortable.  I watched some news and then decided I needed to stay where I was a bit longer so I watched a Hallmark Movie, “An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving”.  It was a simple, sweet movie.  Definitely a Hallmark movie.

If I had time to tell you just one thing of importance that happened today it would be this: If you are interested in the Biblical aspects of “THE END TIMES”, I would suggest you listen to the sermon I heard at Church today.  It was very, very interesting and enlightening.  I have been studying the Prophetic Books in the Old Testament in the Bible and then going forward to the New Testament to study the fulfillment of the old prophecies.  Because of my studies this sermon was very apropos for me to hear at this time.  I think it stands on its own however for being very insightful.  Our Pastor has a very easy way of explaining the scriptures as to make them easier to understand.  If you are interested in hearing this message google, “City Church Madison Wisconsin” and follow the information to listen to today’s sermon, November 8, 2015.  It will literally open up your mind to better understanding as to what is taking place in the mid-east, as  well as in the entire world.   I will be listening to it again with my Bible on my lap so I can better comprehend all that Pastor Tom taught.

And that is just about as much time as I have.  I still would like to write a poem so I must open my mind and see what pops in.

I WANT TO KNOW

By Kathleen Martens

November 8, 2015

God has a plan for all the world

And it is spoken in His word.

What we must do is search it out

For as you listen to the media it’s heard.

So many truths tucked inside

A book that some countries ban.

So many times the very truth

Is what the media pans.

Search it out so you will know

The facts laid out by God,

So when the times occur

To you it will not seem odd.

I don’t know about you and others

But, I want to know what God said

When He spoke through the ancient prophets

Who are no longer living but dead.

And when you read how the word aligns

To the truths of what is coming near,

You will have a better understanding,

And need not have any fear.

For God will be with us through it all

For our hope is not of this world.

He will be with us every step of the way

When His plan someday unfurls.

Hmm…the above poem even surprised me a bit.  I know that there are those who read this that might not agree with what I wrote in the poem or paragraph above, but I would suggest if you haven’t ever read the scriptures about “THE END TIMES”, rather than be ignorant of what the scriptures says, read it for yourself and draw your own conclusion.  I would rather be informed than left out in the dark as to what was written.  It is truly amazing, especially when you realize how accurate it is in regards to what is happening in the world politics at this time.

If Lana is reading this blog I single you out because I know that this is something you will really want to hear.  Thanks for all your comments in the past regarding what I have written.  It spurs me on to keep on writing.  I love doing it, especially if it helps others or it gives them incentive to seek out more truth for themselves.

Must keep this short for the evening has much ahead.  Part of the “much” is getting to bed on time!  Besides, I must finish “my quiet repose”.

Good night and God bless all of you.
