Today It Is 2 For 1. I Will Review A Book & A Movie I Recently Went To See.

I completed another book by Charles & Frances Hunter and I went to see the Christian film that was released a few days ago, "Old Fashioned." Before I continue on I would love to share with you that when I read books that Charles & Frances write together they place a double heart where the word "and (&)" would be on the cover of the book. That sentiment is endearing to me, does that not show a bit of their love for each other? I do believe so, for I am a romantic at heart and I just love catching little things like this that show others of their love for each other. They are not ashamed of professing their love for each other. Does that not touch your heart? Let me think out loud for a moment...if one loves someone and they share that love out of the love they have for each other, without even really trying to or doing it for this purpose it actually slips onto others out there observing this genuine love. It is not only a relationship filled with love but it now becomes a witness to others to encourage them and build them up in their relationships. I love that concept. So, if you truly love someone and you are not doing anything other than loving them to the fullest in your relationship, others may be observing you. Not in a bad way, oh no, a way that may encourage them to be a little more kinder and considerate in their own marriage. Maybe even take a moment or two to hold hands again, to talk sweetly to each other, to remind yourself why you were drawn to each other in the first place. Let's take it a step further OK...when God draws a couple together it can only be through His working through Jesus and Holy Spirit. It is what couples should strive for in their lives. Not their own will to be done in their life but the divine will of God for your life. Do not settle for anything less than that in your life, for what God brings together no man can separate. In the same respect, if God did not bring forth a person in your life and you stepped out in your own will and not with God opening the door then the results will be different. God will forgive if you ask His forgiveness for stepping out without Him in the equation. Then heal what needs to be healed in your life and onward and upward from that point forward. Do not beat yourself up so to speak with the should have, would have, and could have things for once the day is complete and over there is no going back to re-do that day. A new day awaits ahead of you. Take the past and bury it and live for what God has just ahead of you on the horizon and look with anticipation at each new dawn of a glorious day ahead of you. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all else shall be added unto you."
I finished reading "IMPOSSIBLE MIRACLES" by Charles & Frances Hunter. If there are things that seem to be impossible in your life and you need an impossible miracle to happen, then read this book. It is filled with true examples of impossible miracles that happened. They share many testimonies with the reader. I have found that the reading of these miracles builds up the faith of the believer to prepare you to receive your very own miracle. Would you like to be around a negative person all the time? I hope you would answer NO to that for if you find yourself being in that situation you will then begin to think negative. In the reverse, being around a positive person a great deal of time would then cause you to think more positive. You would start seeing the good and lovely more so than the bad and unlovely. The same thought in regard to reading this book, reading and building yourself up in real examples of how God touched and healed many. It truly does build up your faith to be at the point of receiving the impossible miracle you need in your very life. What I love that stood out to me in reading this very book...when you finish this book on the last page is a prayer. Along with the prayer is a picture of their hands laying upon prayer requests. They ask you to place your hands upon their hands in the picture and pray the prayer with them. You see, even though they both went to be with the Lord, their legacy still lives on with those that believe Jesus heals. They were the conduit to bring forth Jesus' healing touch to those that believed that Jesus is there and He wants to heal you. Is that not beautiful? I think it is and imagine this, there may be others that have the simple child like faith to believe in their miracle this very day and one day they will meet this beautiful couple in heaven. You see, what you do today while you are still alive may impact many lives in the future. "Trust in the Lord will all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and He will direct your path."
Maybe you need prayer today, is there something that is laying heavy on your heart and you just do not know how to pray about it? Let me pray a prayer for you, repeat after me..."Jesus came to earth as an infant through Mary, he walked the earth and performed many miracles, too numerous to even list them all in the bible. That gives me hope, for my miracle may be so seemingly impossible without the help of Jesus that if it were not for Him I would give up hope today and become defeated. I choose this day to ask Jesus into my heart and to direct my path and heal my broken heart. I love You Jesus for coming to earth from heaven so I may live with You for all eternity in heaven and not have to suffer with pain and torment all the days of eternity in hell. Thank you for saving me today and for allowing me to get to know You. You not only came to earth for me You also died on a cross in a painful death of crucifixion. The best news in this story is that You died but 3 days later You rose from the dead and You are ALIVE. You are not someone that died and was buried and You lay in a tomb somewhere, oh no, You are as alive and real today as You were when You came into the earth as an infant. You defeated death and the grave and You call to me today to come to You and You will give me rest. Thank you Jesus for Your love and mercy and I invite You into my heart this very day. I want You to know that I give my life to You to take with it and make it new. Thank you for this opportunity to get to know You as who You are and for loving me that much to suffer for me so that I may have eternal life with You in heaven. For this I am most grateful. Amen."
Let me now review the movie I recently viewed, "Old Fashioned." I must be honest with you, this seemed to be a slow moving movie. I wanted to jump up at times and say, hey get to the point. I did not and I continued to watch patiently. It all came together in the end of the movie. It really causes one to believe that having old fashioned values is a good and honorable thing. Never apologize for having these values in your life.
