Crowns

I'm cooking Christmas dinner this year!

Don't worry, it's only for 4 of us & I'm actually not too bad in the kitchen. I went to the shops to get all the bits this weekend which included all the vegetables, the pudding & of course the turkey. As there are only four of us, I opted for a turkey crown. We've also got the tableware out the loft when we put the tree up, including napkins & crackers. The crackers are awesome ones I got in the sale about 3 years ago which have gardening or kitchen items in them, and paper crowns of course!

That's two mentions of crowns. There are so many crowns mentioned in the bible, from the crown of life in James & Revelation which we are told to bear, to the one that our Savior wears, the holy crown of thorns. These Christmas paper crowns (which we must wear all day!) and the turkey crown which we are fortunate to be able to celebrate with are fantastic, making our days together as families and friends even more spectacular. But they are nothing in comparison to the real crown, the real spectacular, the meaning of Christmas, Christ! He really is the King of all Kings, the Lord of all the Lords! He's royalty! 

As an extra crown, one of my favourite bands and the one that brought me to Christ. Here is Silent Night from Casting Crowns.

Heaven chases out the Hell

I felt God putting this blog title into my head a few weeks ago and I've only just finally got around to writing it. (Since then I've made a list of other blog titles too so you're in for a treat over the next few weeks!)

Heaven chases out the Hell - ultimately what I mean by this is that if you believe, you are cleaned of all your sins. We all have pasts, we've all made mistakes, have done wrong and maybe regret things, but if we believe and give our lives to Jesus we are forgiven.

There have always been battles. Whether that's between good and evil, countries, counties, family members or between thoughts and feeling in people's heads. But the Heaven & Hell one is perhaps the most important. If you believe in God and live for him on this Earth, you are empowered, and all those wrong doings will leave you, allowing room for you to shine like stars. You can fill up with light as it brightens the dark.

This is the latest release from Chris Tomlin & I absolutely love it! Sums up our awesome God in so many ways! Praise the Lord.
