A Treat For My Friends

-


To you, my friend.

Every person who reads one of my posts is my friend. I don't know you, and the reality is, you don’t know me, but I love you. You may live a thousand miles away or across the street, yet if you know or want to know my LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, you are my friend, and we are family.

How is that possible? Ephesians tells us “…we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.”[1] I know this concept is hard to understand, so let’s think of a human body. There are many parts, hands, feet, arms, legs, eyes, nose, and mouth. There are also parts we keep covered, and even parts inside that we do not see. Well…

It’s the same with the body of Christ.

God speaking through Paul calls our body parts members, “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.”[2]

What’s Almighty God saying? His point is even though we are different, and God has given us different spiritual gifts, we remain ONE body in Christ Jesus. When one part of our human body is hurt our whole body feels it. So, too, with the body of Christ. When one member suffers, we all suffer, AND when one member is honored, we all rejoice.

Friend, today we rejoice!!

Some of you may know, yet most of you do not, but each Sunday morning, I am privileged to sing with our First Service Worship Team at Alliance Friends Church.[3] Wait, don’t give me too much credit, I’m just a back-up singer, more or less, not a soloist. Still, I am honored to stand and sing beside our lovely soloist, Allie Noble.

Occasionally, we in first service, are joined by the very talented musician, guitarist, singer, and lyricist, Rick Baxter, and it’s always a blessing.

So, friend, here’s your treat: Rick Baxter of Carnation City Worship, wrote a song, “I Believe In Miracles” that just hit YouTube last night. Allie Noble is the vocalist, and, I am thrilled to share it with you. Click on the above video or click the link below.

I pray you are as blessed as I was when I heard this incredible song. Click the like button on YouTube and share it far and wide.

Friends and Family, I love you all.

Anita

  WHAT IS TRUTH? Part 1   Flaming torches lit the road as guards carrying swords and clubs surrounded Him. Throughout the night, they tortured, tried, and convicted Him, even though four days earlier, citizens hailed Him as Messiah the Prince. [1] A nearby rooster crowed while a sliver of white light crested the horizon, and a cloaked figure ran from the courtyard weeping. Morning brightened the streets but not the hateful temperaments. Torches doused until night returned, and the evil parade marched on to the Praetorium. https://christianevidences.org/the-praetorium-antonia-fortress-jerusalem/   Outside this notorious citadel, self-righteous Pharisees who had named themselves His judge and jury summoned Pontius Pilate. Normally, a criminal would be escorted inside to the Bema—the judgment seat—but it was Passover. Entering a Gentile dwelling caused defilement making the Jew unable to partake. What a contradiction—what a joke—since they had the TRUE Passover Lamb in...

HERE WE GO AGAIN

  timothy-eberly-wnrxQGBhbh8-unsplash Five years after the 2020 “Summer of Love,” people with no conscience or morality have started up once more. The so-called “peaceful protests” over George Floyd’s death were anything but peaceful. They were violent mobs ruining lives and cities. And, here we go again. Protesters are lighting L.A. on fire this time against I.C.E. deportations.   The U.S. I mmigration and C ustoms E nforcement is doing its job to keep Americans safe. Praise God for the wisdom and guidance He gave President Trump. When the governor and mayor stood idly by, our President brought law and order with the National Guard and Marines.   Any rational mind knows when a person’s first act of entering a new country is breaking the law, they are criminals who must be deported. But L.A. has chosen to protect criminals to the detriment of its legal citizens.   The Communist/Marxist NGO’s whose goal is to destroy America have funded and backed Antifa...

My Seraphina Vine from my brother It’s  May , and we have so many things to celebrate! Graduating seniors from high school and college. Memorial Day, to remember and honor our fallen military heroes. Also, the month of May celebrates the nation of Israel. May 14, 2025, marks their 77 th year of being back in the land God promised in an everlasting covenant to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. [1]   However, May’s most notable celebration is Mother’s Day . If I were speaking to an audience right now, I’d ask all the Moms to stand, and we would celebrate you in style because you so deserve it.   Being a mom myself and now a grandmother, I know it isn’t easy. Little ones take so much care, and we’re exhausted. As the years fly by, little ones grow and take on a mind of their own. And even though this was our goal all along, it’s also where the emotional pain starts. Soon, our children flourish into adulthood and leave home. As they do, most understand and respect the sacr...
