Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

"Life Verses and Values: God's Word to Us at Christmas!"

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Romans 5:7-10 (NIV)

In the middle of the mad Christmas rush to the mall, make "room in the inn" for the Savior and His Word.....we have "only one life" to live for Him - let's make it count and remember Christian values in the midst of secular merriment and madness....HE is our peace.....HE is our Life.....let's live it for Him!

O

"Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace
that we may OBTAIN MERCY, and find grace to help in time of need
(Hebrews 4:16 KJV)."

N

"...Weeping may endure FOR A NIGHT,
but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5 KJV)."

L

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and LEAN NOT unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6 KJV)."

Y

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee.
Be not dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee;
YEA, I WILL HELP THEE;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)."

NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD
from them that walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11 KJV)."

but IN EVERYTHING, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known unto God.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
(Romans 12:1,2 KJV)."
