There Are No Orphans Because Of Christmas

It’s beginning to snow heavier now. Just a cold typical winter Christmas Eve in the Ozarks as our little family of three gathered to put up the tree that Dad had cut down in the surrounding woods.

( well, really he didn’t cut it down, he did his magic.) which is, to find a tall evergreen tree in the deep of the woods, take his trusty shotgun and aim up towards the top of the tree, then pow!! The top of the tree falls to the ground. That’s magic I’d say. You get a perfect medium size tree and the prettiest part of the tree.

He throws it up in the rusty old pickup and here he comes. Dragging the magic tree into the back door of the small indiscreet house set high up over the Finley River.

Such a beautiful scene. Snow falls on the hillside, all the trees, and a running river sets below the small home.

We do not have much for this Christmas season. Dad just changed jobs and we have to go two weeks before he will get his first paycheck.

Isn’t that the way it seems always to go? You are between a rock and a hard place. And at Christmas time of all times.

Usually, we buy a Christmas tree but not this year. Times are rough. No money for the extras but, hey, we do have our roof over our heads and mom has saved back money to at least buy ingredients to do some baking.

As a child 12 years old I’ve been taught to be grateful for what I have. “ We have a Christmas tree”, I love decorating the tree.

There are no Orphans because of Christmas.

Dad then begins to make a stand by nailing a cross of two pieces of 2 x 4s and putting the trunk into the middle. Up it goes and away I go decorating the magic tree.

I love the lights and always a STAR on top has to be a star. The Bible says that’s how they found Jesus lying in a manger. The magi followed the star as it was told to them by the angel.

The big lodge-size fireplace is crackling, mama is baking cookies, and all will be okay, even this year.

There are no Orphans because of Christmas Page (2)

Suddenly a knock on the door. It’s 5:00 and Dad says, “Who can that be out in a blizzard and way back in this desolate area we live in?”

Dad opens the door and there stands a small-framed lady with a child in her arms. They were wrapped in coats but looked so desperate.

Dad says,” Come in here but where did you come from?”

The shaking quivering lady began to cry and said that their car had broken down on the highway and they were walking to find any lights, looking for a home with shelter.

Yep! She saw my decorated shining lights on the tree and came toward them. I might say she followed the STAR, just saying… not by accident that she came to our home.

She told us of her sad life story, how her husband had abandoned them and she was trying to travel to find a new start. We knew she was at the right place.

My family all knows why we have Christmas. Jesus was born a virgin and came as God’s son to die for our sins. We are Believers.

Dad read the Christmas story as he always did each Christmas Eve. But this time he also read to this lady and her small child.

There are No Orphans Because of Christmas Page (3)

Our family was able to tell her that because of Jesus this is why we celebrate Christmas. She saw that because of this great miracle, God says to all, “There are no strangers, there are no orphans, and there is no outcast, of God.”

With Jesus as your Savior, you are never alone, you are never a stranger, you are not an orphan, and you are not an outcast.

Best Christmas Eve I ever had. A lady with her child became a born-again believer and took Jesus as her Savior.

Now that’s what Christmas is all about. And that’s why He makes no more orphans, no more strangers, no more outcasts.

If such a thing as Grace exists, Then Grace was made for lives like this.

Christmas makes no more strangers, you are my brother, and you are my sister, no more orphans, no more outcasts, but hallelujah!! There are no orphans of God.

Let this be your Christmas this year. We sing, Hallelujah!! May you be no more an orphan of God.

Then: It's MERRY CHRISTMAS

TO YOU FOR EVERMORE !!

Let Me Thank You Again, Lord Jesus.

There's a beautiful Christian song that is sung today, written by David Stoker.

It came about from all he had gone through. He actually had hit a bottomless pit in his life. He had ended up in a mental institute, he saw no end to his nightmare.

It's titled..."Let Me Thank You Again, Lord Jesus."

That's what I want to do in my life. I hope you do too.

Sometimes it takes that in one's life to bring us back to the God of our salvation.

I know how life can throw us many curves in our life. Being I have been there, many times in my own life. My memoir " My Christian Journey Through a Fallen World." Book.

I can honestly say that after all, I found myself going through, I saw He was there all the time and brought me through. So...I want to Thank You, Lord Jesus.

" Let me repeat: Let Me Thank You Again, Lord Jesus.

Let me Thank You Again, Lord Jesus, for saving me from what I might have become.

Let me Thank You, Lord Jesus, let me thank you again.

You gave me a brand new beginning when you freed me from all my sin and shame. Yes, You gave me a reason for living.

From worry and fear, I've been set free. And now I have sweet peace within. Your Spirit strengthens me for my tomorrow, I want to thank You, Thank You again.

I acknowledge, that many of you out there reading this encouraging blog, are saying " I have had all I can take. I have hit bottom! But, If you have Jesus as your sin redeemer, Savior from your sins, then there is always HOPE!

May I tell you that when I go through those " Hit Bottom" times, I really try to focus on: that they are temporary compared to what lies ahead for me as His Born Again Child.

I am a child of the Great I AM! All the promises that are in His word tell me that as His child I am not forgotten, And His promises are mind.

How does a King give me these great promises? Because He loves me and He will bring me through.

That's why, I say, " Let Me Thank You Again Lord Jesus". Ecclesiastes 11:1 is an interesting scripture. "Cast your bread, (To me this is God's word.) upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again."

I have learned that when you do something good without expecting much in return, is when you cast your bread upon the waters. Who knows how the favor will be repaid?

Please: If you are a child of Jesus, say with me, " I Just Want To thank You Again, Lord Jesus."

LET ME THANK YOU AGAIN, LORD JESUS

How Bad Does It Have To Get...Before God says, " That's Enough?"

Philippians 1:23 says, For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.

That could very easily be the desire of many Christ followers today.

Have you ever wanted to be able to look around the corner? Eyesight is an amazing and tremendous blessing designed by an all-wise Creator. But as complex and marvelous as the human eye is, it does have the limitation of being unable to see around a corner.

This applies to natural vision and our view of life's pathway. It stretches before us through different stages, including infancy, childhood, teen years, middle age, and old age.

Finally, we turn the corner that we call death. Then what will we see?

What will our experience be?

It is a reality that the pathway of life has different lengths for different people.

I'm from a large family of 10 children, My mom and dad, and 7 of the children are all gone.

Mom died at age 65, and dad at 68. One of my sisters took her life at 27. Only 2 of my sisters and I remain. I am now in my old age you would say.

So, what lies ahead or around the corner for me? I am happy to say that I can quote

Psalms 23, I am not afraid to " Walk through the valley of the shadow of death". I will feel no evil because I know that I have trusted my Savior, Jesus Christ my Lord for my eternal home with Him.

As I look at how bad this world has gotten, how nothing is sacred, how our children are raised in schools that are totally messed up, that people have to define a woman or a man. It's just out of control. A child knows more than some confused adults, it makes me say, God; How bad does it have to get before you say, " That's Enough?'

I know one of the crowns that will be rewarded to the Christ believer at the Judgement seat of Christ, where we get our rewards for deeds we served him with after becoming His child through salvation, is the crown of " looking and longing for the coming of the Rapture." To be Caught up with him in the clouds.

Don't you want that my friends? Don't you want to know you will live eternally with the Great I AM? John 3:16 tells you what you must do to have that joy. Please give your heart to Jesus the one that died for your sins. He's waiting, time is ticking away. Do it today!

" From My Heart...I Give You Jesus" @sarahtyler3738

I Speak Jesus... Will you listen?

I don't think ever in my many years here on planet Earth have I been more inspired to tell all that will listen, that You need Jesus!

I would tell you, that He is the Beginning and the End. What the Bible terms, The Alpha and Omega. And I would tell you, God asks no man whether he will accept life.

That is not the choice. It would help if you took it, The only choice is HOW!/

I go back to my childhood days and remember all the crazy things that happened in life.

The fun times at junior high school and the pageants I entered to promote my then desire to be a popular singer.

All those times were my life and I never dreamed they would no longer be important as I traveled through struggles and un-surmountable chaos.

Little did I know that there was a much better life that I discovered when my path took me to the cross of Jesus.

That's where I am today. Here's what is the most important words this writer of Christian books, and encouraging blogs can ever tell you.

I SPEAK JESUS! Please don't tune me out because you think. " Oh, another radical Jesus person trying to bring the gospel to me." No, you see, I have tasted of His many promises and seen His might work among His people and there's no turning back for me.

When we were born, God already was. Whether we ruin our lives with sin and debauchery or whether we live in complete surrender to Him, God is. When we die, God will still be. Our coming, being, and going have no effect on God.

We choose every day whether we will live by our own liking or live in surrender to God, who holds our time in His hand. He gives us the freedom to make this choice.

I have decided I want no other way but the way of Christ Jesus who gave His life for my sins. I have decided that we do have that choice and because he has died for me, as he has died for you, I have chosen Jesus. I will until I pass from this life to everlasting life,

GIVE YOU JESUS. What will you do, my friend with this Jesus? You have a choice, Come go with me and until your departing day, say, I speak Jesus.

I will Cling to the Old Rugged Cross... and Exchange it someday for a Crown.

I don't think many of us realize what Christ Jesus did for us on that old rugged cross.

This is a posting that I found to be absolutely the best description of all he went through.

We say, yes Christ died for my sins, and think no more about how much he went through to pay our debt and penalty for our sins, that would make us able to stand before him on judgment day and have him say, " I find NO CONDEMATION in you. Romans 8:1 My blood has washed away ALL your sins. Do you realize how rewarding that will be?

Then to get a crown of glory. AMAZING GRACE!

This is the description of medical, or scientifically how his body was disfigured beyond our imagination.

Please read and then if you have Christ as your own personal Savior, fall to your knees and thank him like you never have before.

The description:

Scientific Death of Jesus

For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.

At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death.

At the time, crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus. Unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.

Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails were driven into His wrist, not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist, that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself so that He could breathe.

Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support Himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back and then using His legs just to continue to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.

Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.

Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died,

Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds.

From common images, we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side... But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body? A hammer drove large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even larger nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard pierced His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear, Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating was so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.

He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood.

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His chest...

All these without mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where His hands were nailed).

Jesus had to endure this experience, to open the gates of Heaven so that you can have free access to God.

So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation.

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!

Do you know Him today? No other would go through this kind of death to wash away our sins. THANK YOU, LORD JESUS. I will cling to this old rugged cross and get to exchange it someday for a crown. Hallelujah to the King of Glory.

HEAVEN ON MY MIND!

Lord, I know you are aware because You know all things. But I feel the need to tell you, my Lord, that I have never been this way before.

I remember when I was a little girl how simple life was. I wasn't raised in a "Faith-based" home. It was considered what most would call a dysfunctional home. But I did have peace most of my life, just many needs that a large family could not supply. Like unwavering love for each of us ten children, food that was sparse, and sometimes troubling financial needs.

Now, there is a real need for peace that NO ONE seems to be able to have.

So, I ask you, Lord, when does it get better? When do we who have trusted You as our Lord and Savior, Our great Redeemer, get to go home?

I can remember as a small girl, standing with my parents in a Veteran cemetery and looking at all those grave markers. I actually was very afraid when they shot with guns over the top of my grandpa's grave site as a way of a salute I was told.

Now that I've grown and into my elderly years, and thankfully have understood from being in a gospel-preaching church, and have taken You Jesus as my own personal savior, I look at the many grave sites and know from your Bible scriptures that one day, I pray soon, those dead bodies will come out of that grave.

I know we have read in scripture that at the Rapture, the sound of the trumpet, the dead in Christ will rise first and we that remain shall be caught up to meet them in the air.

That's made clear in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

But, Lord I also read in John 5:28-29 that all the bodies will come out of the graves. Some to everlasting life and their home in heaven, but some to stand before the

" Great White Throne Judgement. Revelations 20:11-15

That's so troubling to me as your truly born-again child. John 3:7 Because if some in those graves are not your born-again child then they will not enter Heaven.

They will stand before the Great White Throne Judgement. Found in Revelations 20:11-15.

And what is so sad to me is that they did many things in the church, they maybe sang in the church choir, or was a deacon, but Lord, as you have them stand before the Great White Throne Judgement, You say, Depart from me, I never knew you. They never trusted in you as their Savior.

So Lord, even though I am saddened to live in these troubling times, I am so grateful that You called me to You and I trusted You as my sin redeemer, you became my personal Savior. Thank you for dying for my sins.

Now my prayer to You; is to please help those reading, those that need You as their Savior, before it's too late, understand, seek out someone to help them understand that You are the way the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through the Son. John 14:6

Thank you my Lord Jesus for letting me seek the knowledge to understand and become one of your sin-bought children. I John chapter 5:11-13 as I read in the wee hours of the night opened my eyes to this truth. Now, I long for YOU, and Heaven is on my mind.

EMPTY GRAVES

RAPTURED BODIES.

What God starts...God finishes.

Did I catch you my friend in a state of hopelessness? So many are living in this state at this season of our journey. Then I want to tell you something that will give you real hope!

That's why I started my podcast, on Youtube.com " From my heart..I give you Jesus".

@Sarahtyler3738 .

Also, my hope in my writing of my encouraging blogs " free to read" is to show you from the Bible scriptures, that God knew we as His created humans, would wander around trying to find some hope at many times in our lives.

That's why He gave us this scripture, Jeremiah 29:11. And this chapter 29 is a time of dark and chaotic times. So this verse stands out with that great ray of sunshine!

He is telling Jeremiah, the prophet this great word for his hope!

"For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." That says, God has a plan for you.

Then verse 13; " And you shall seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart".

If you came to me to ask what should you do, how do I find peace? I would just send you back to Jesus because He has your plan, I don't know His plan for you.

What I can tell you; is, God has all your tomorrows covered that you have not seen. He knows where he's taking you.

What is your part? To seek Him, to trust Him.

I don't know about you, but knowing God knows my yesterdays and my tomorrows, and he sees where he's taking me; Is a great comfort. How does one that is blind trust their seeing-eye dog? Because the dog has the eyes to see that the blind one doesn't. The dog is seeing where it's taking you.

That's our Savior! He knows the plans he has for you, and he knows where he's taking you.

And when God starts something, God will finish it. What God begins, God will end.

You say," But you don't know how bad and dark my life is? "

I say, "But you don't know how powerful is my God! " Do you know him today? Then seek Him with all your heart. God has a plan for you.

What would it take for you to Believe in the God of the Bible?

I'm tackling a subject that many and even I will admit sometimes even me, have struggled with. I'm the person that chooses to write encouraging blogs to help many in these chaotic times we are living in.

I know that it was no doubt God's plan that led me on the path to understanding, finding Him as my personal Savior. I speak of this in-depth miracle in my published book,

" My Christian Journey Through a Fallen World".

I was child number seven of ten children and was raised in a very dysfunctional family. A tyrant dad, and a sweet momma that was afraid of our dad. This created children not knowing any love of a dad and being always scared to make any friends.

Church people would come by our house and ask if they could pick us children up on the church bus for Sunday school, but we were never allowed to go. WHY?.. I wondered.

I won't go in-depth here, it's all in my true published memoir. " My Christian Journey Through a Fallen World" You'll read about "Secrets of my dad."

But, my thoughts today are: What will it take for you to believe in Jesus, God's only son, that came in the flesh to save us born sinners? I know you have heard this gospel many times. John 3:16. When will you believe?

My salvation was when I later in life met my now husband of 58 years. He was the first one to take me to church. Did I accept Christ as my personal savior? No, not till three years after we were married.

WHY? Because I couldn't believe that I needed a Savior. I led a very strict lifestyle, and thought "What sins". But, friend we were born sinners. We inherited it from Adam and Eve. Disobeying God in the garden, tempted by Satan.

I found Christ from waking in the middle of the night and turned in my Bible to

1 John 5:12-13. There I saw " he that has the son has eternal life, he that has not the son has not life. " So, I ask you do you have life in Christ? I didn't. But, I did that night!

What would it take to believe in God/Jesus the Savior as your life to spend eternity with Him forever? You're going to die, or the Rapture will happen. Don't be left to see how terrible it will be after the children of God are gone.

My prayer is, that whoever reads this or watches my podcast on Youtube, " From my heart..I give you Jesus " will see the light. Youtube.com Sarah Tyler-Youtube.

Little Children...Come unto Me.

I know scripture tells us, we that have trusted Jesus as our own personal Savior

are called "His children."

But today, I want to address the little children Jesus spoke of in Matthew 19:14.

When we look around today at the evilness that has overtaken our world, we can't help but cry out to our great I AM and pray for protection for all the little ones.

The ones from 5-6 and on up to the teens.

There are so many disturbed children in our world, whether it be from hunger, abuse, or just plain no care for their wondering minds. Social media has been a tool used by Satan to corrupt their minds.

Most of us reading this blog are older now. We can remember our growing up, our laughing times, our playing with friends, and just the comfort of a mom and dad that we knew loved us.

It's much different now. The young children have been introduced to a " different kind" of raising. If you are reading this and have been raised in a " safe world" then you know what I'm addressing.

Where this scripture text was taken in Matthew 19:14 there were even the disciples that didn't think the children should come unto Jesus. But, Jesus said," Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven.

Please let your children come to Jesus. Please get them under God's word and teach them in the way they should go. Let them know that He loves them like no other.

Let them understand that as much as you a parent love them, you can never love than like Jesus can.

I have an almost nine-year-old grandson, who plays super good baseball, smarter than a tack but there is so much friction in the schools. He has a profession of Christ in his heart at age six. I know if this was totally real to him, then Satan wants to defeat him like no other.

He's had a bully, he's had a conflict of hatred from other students, and the amount of time his parents let him be on social media, even motoring that, he still has low self-esteem of himself. Friends this should not be. But, it is in today's world.

May we indwell this love of Jesus as we have never done before? May we be the parents, and grandparents that are not part of the " WOKE generation?

Will you join me in lifting your children, and grandchildren before the throne of God daily, letting them know that, "nobody loves them like you do Jesus? Let them know: Nobody loves me like you love me, Jesus. "

Little children, God wants His Kingdom to be made up of ones like you. Little children receive Jesus with a sense of awe, wonder, and joy.

This is what heaven will be made up of. We that come to Jesus must come as a child does.

Hang on...God will take you through the Fire Again!

I don't even have to ask: as you read this latest encouraging blog, that many of you are going through a rough, or trying struggle. After all, it is the " end times".

What's the old saying? " you are in a battle, just came out of a battle, or, hold on, you'll be heading into a battle. "

This is so true for all of us. But, hold on, I'm reassuring you, that if you know our mighty God, creator of the universe, " He WILL take you through the fire again".

Many that know me from social media or my posts, are aware that I love the book of Psalms.

It's my absolute go-to for my life as I like you find life hard and life seems to be getting rougher all the time.

I read in Psalms 107 verses 28-29 " Then they cry out unto the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still."

Yes, He does. I have witnessed this many times throughout my Christian life.

Do you know that when you pray you are talking to the Great I AM? He knows what you need before you ask. If He closed the mouth of the lions for Daniel, parted the red sea for Moses, made the sun stand still for Joshua, open the prison doors for Peter, put a baby in the arms of Sarah, and raise Lazarus from the dead THEN He can certainly take care of you! NOTHING you are facing today is too hard for God to handle.

Because I believe this and know it is true, I can find my hope in my Lord to take me through the fire again, and again.

Will you think about times you were hurting so badly, times you had no resources, you wondered how you could see another day, and then remember, how this great mighty God, brought you through? Folks, it's trusting Him, He loves his children. He never promised the cross would not get heavy, or the hill would not be hard to climb, but hang on, He'll SHOW UP and He will take you through the fire again.

My trust is; before it gets really any worse in this world, He will show up, as he promised, and take us not through the fire, but out of this world into His glorious Kingdom.

Praise God!
