Today i was just meditating upon the book of Jer.29:11 that atlks of GOD'S plans for us then i asked myself why do i struggle or even not walk in the green pastures each and every minute.And it came clear to me that rearly do i sit back and ask him what his real plan is without planning first or laying some prior strategies to getting what i really want,so from this day canwe try waiting on God in the morning and let him reveal his plan for the day before starting out.

My dearest Christy Gabriel
I feel an urge to hug you very specially (since yesterday)... Are you alright? I prayed so much for you because I felt that something was wrong. Please God, take care of my special friend and if she is sad or down please lift her up!!!

You are loved and I want you to know that - Jesus loves you so much for all the loyal work and inspiration you are giving all of us!

Hi Christy, I think it is so awesome to think that for the first time Jesus revealed to us God as our Father. This was an introduction to a greater revelation of who God is and his relationship with us His children. The relationship of a father with his children is a wonderful though as we think of our relationship with God. In the love of Jesus

Thank you Christy for your love and prayers. My husband and I are getting ready to go to Peru for mission work in December until May, so have been fairly busy. Thank you for the daily devotions you send so faithfully. God bless you.

Hi Christy.
Your verse you shared today reminded me of an old song we sang in church. The words are;
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay,
I needed some one to wash my sins away,
And now I sing a brand new song, amazing grace,
He paid a debt that I could never pay.

How can we not forgive others knowing how much we have been forgiven ourselves? Thanks for sharing.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Thanksgiving Day Thoughts
Thanksgiving is the time to feel gratitude to God for all the good things in life. It is a time to acknowledge the good deeds of fellowmen and be thankful. Thanksgiving thoughts of people give us an insight as to what people feel about it.

* Life can be very trying. When your child is hungry, your body wracked with pain, or you have no idea where you and your family will find a place to sleep, it's hard to find something for which you can be thankful. So, for just a few minutes on Thanksgiving Day, step outside your situation and just "be". Find something, no matter how small, to be thankful for because in giving thanks, you will be lightening your load, even if for only a moment

* People in Europe were living in squalid conditions, battling hunger and the aftermath of the plague, were being terrorized in the name of religion and came to America, the land of opportunity, in the hopes of building a new and better life. These immigrants, called Pilgrims, were welcomed by the inhabitants of America, the Indians, who were hospitable to the newcomers in every sense of the word. How is it then that the descendants of the Pilgrims managed to take over all the land in America and banish the Indians to hot, arid reservations in the middle of nowhere? Somehow, that has never felt right to me. Do the Indians celebrate Thanksgiving?

* Who does not thank for little will not thank for much. (Estonian proverb)

* Thanksgiving thoughts are the kind of thoughts that we should have all year long. For it is the folks with thankful hearts whose lives are filled with song. We should take time for kindness to those we hold most dear,and just extend a helping hand to others through the year. Let's set aside some quiet time and share it with a friend. For friendships brings a special joy and pleasure without end. So may the blessings of this day that I would ask for you, now fill you with Thanksgiving Peace that lasts the whole year through!

Hi Christy; I have had this scripture on my mind for over two weeks already. I am so glad to see that this was the message that you sent. Of course I love all of the bible; however when Jesus said this; oh what an awesome message od ONENESS as well as obedience He gave. Thanks Christy. God bless you my dear sister.

MY DEAREST CHRISTY GABRIEL
OF COURSE WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE NEW CHURCH TO BE BUILT. WE ARE ALSO PRAYING FOR MY SON-IN-LAW TO AT LAST GET A CHURCH BUILDING... THAT IS IN GOD'S HANDS BUT WE KNOW THAT IS THE BEST HANDS! ROEDOLF HOLDS HIS SERMONS IN A SCHOOL HALL AND HAS 3 SERVICES. BUT ALL IN HIS TIME! JUST PRAY AND TRUST...

I DO LOVE YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAITH AND KEEP ON SENDING YOUR INSPIRATIONS DAILY. IT IS MY BREAKFAST, FEEDING MY SOUL.

LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL YOUR LOVED ONES FROM YOUR DEAREST FRIEND

Hi Christy,
It has been really quiet on line today as many in the US are traveling and preparing for Thanksgiving on Thursday.

It is really hard to think about celebrating Thanksgiving this year. We lost 3 members of our family in this past year and our thanksgiving is mixed with greif.
Some times we have to just obey the scripture that says; in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.

It seemed like I spent most of my day yesterday in praise and worship. I just have so much that I am thankful for, I feel Him so near in worship and I know He takes my sorrow as His own. One day our tears will be wiped away and sorrow and mourning will be no more.

I have one thing I am very thankful for. That the price of oil and gas has come down to more than half of what it was in August. It would have been very hard to heat our homes this winter. If the price had stayed so high it would have cost almost as much as many people make a month to pay for their heat. So I am thankful for this.

I am also thankful that my sister and brother are recovering from their serious physical problems they were having.
In the love of Jesus
Bob

ARE YOU COMMUNICATING OR "COMMUNIFAKING"?

Whilst reading this I just could not resist forwarding this to my friends... (enjoy)!


Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a
word as is good for edification according to the need of the
moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear (Ephesians
4:29 NASB).

... a recent study ... reveals that a good number of people
"communifake" quite often in social situations to avoid feeling
like losers. The most insecure group happened to be the 18 to
24 year-old crowd with a good 74 percent of them admitting to
"communifaking" when feelings of loneliness set in, but the
college crowd is rarely alone. A few more women (42 percent)
than men (32 percent) also turned to their trusty phone when
they were alone waiting for a friend or trying to avoid
conversation with strangers around them. Psychotherapist Lesley
Haswell seems to have some insight into the fake communication
phenomena. "People experience the need to appear socially busy
at all times and 'just waiting' is a no-no. Our basic human
instinct is to be part of a group. Alone we can feel more
vulnerable"
You never know when you're going to learn a new, very useful word.
"Communifaking" has the promise of both meaning and function. The
reason is obvious: there is a lot of "communifaking" happening, and
it's not limited to folks trying to look busy on their cell phones.
"Communifaking" happens at home. Spouses, parents, children --
everybody in the household may engage in some "communifaking." We want
to appear that we're communicating, but we're not. It happens at work
and among business associates. You've probably heard some communifake
the last time you listened to a sales pitch. You don't think there has
been some "communifaking" going on during the political campaigns
recently? Why do we continue to get a barrage of political spinners,
each of whom has the job of putting their side in the best light, while
putting the other side in the worst light? Never mind the real facts
and truthful information. Perception and appearances are what count.

It's amazing how much "communifaking" happens.

I suppose one could read Paul's instruction in the verse above and
think that he was encouraging a little "communifaking." After all, it
sounds like he's telling us to craft our words in positive ways. I
suppose he's doing that, but I don't think he's encouraging fake
communication. Paul wanted us to stop hurting one another with our
words. Read the entire passage in Ephesians 4 and you'll discover many
things there, all designed to heal and create positive human
interaction.

Some may honestly believe they don't engage in "communifaking." Maybe
so, but it's such a widespread problem that it's likely to hit all of
us sooner or later. I wonder if we ever communifake with God?


Communicating with God requires honesty from us. After all, God is
all-knowing, and he's every where we are. The height of futility is
trying to pull a fast one on God. Still, there are people who do that.
They do it with prayers that are insincere. They do it with words
spoken to others that are not true or are not loving and kind. They do
it when their hypocritical behavior says one thing while the truth is
something else. All of those things, whether intended or not, are
things communicated to God. It's amazing how much "communifaking"
happens. Perhaps we should be less concerned with how we look to
others, and more concerned with the messages we're really sending.
Let's communicate, not "communifake."

ARE YOU PLEASING PEOPLE OR ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?

Do you realize that ucountable numbers of people are anxious to
Please the Crowd instead of God?

We all know that there are people who are "born dictators" and others are "attention seekers"...

When in a position of authority they do not consider anyone's feelings... Some Governments strive to please the people despite the millions who are hurt in the process... Others cause pain and suffering because of obstinacy and a self-centred attitude, and then you realise that this is because they do not know God.
Pontius Pilate wanted to please the people. So he freed Barabbas
for them. And Pilate told the soldiers to beat Jesus with
whips. Then Pilate gave Jesus to the soldiers to be killed on
a cross. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and yet he ignored this fact because he was trying to please the people!

-- Mark 15:15 (ERV)

Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, yet gives in totally to the wishes of
the mob -- he first has Jesus scourged ("flogged with a lead-tipped
whip") and then turns Jesus over to be crucified. Why does he do it?
Pilate has to keep Rome happy by maintaining order. To maintain order,
Pilate has to appease the crowd. Even though he has already pronounced
Jesus "not guilty" of any crime, Pilate has the final say. In his mind,
his word is law. In the eyes of the crowd, Pilate's word is law. Jesus,
however, knows that Pilate has no power to act, rule, or enforce his
verdict apart from God's granting him that power. Pilate is a puppet
who cannot recognize that he acts in concert with the crowd's will,
Rome's desire, and God's plan. Jesus is allowed to be crucified -- both
by Pilate, to appease the crowd which is being manipulated by the
religious leaders, and also by God, who is using this horrifying event
to save the world. If God can bring such a great redemption out of such
an unfair injustice, imagine what he can do with our suffering for his
sake.
Can any one of us imagine what it must take to sacrifice your child! I cannot!

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, you are the Almighty, the one in control even when I cannot see
Your control. Help me to understand that you will redeem every
injustice brought upon your people at your chosen time. Give me the
faith and strength to endure such times and the courage to live my life
in the hope that even if the scales of justice are not balanced in my
lifetime, they will be at the end of time. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Beautiful picture Christy, hope all is well with you. It is very cold here tonight and snowing a little bit. It would seem strang around here at christmas time without snow. Everyone places all kinds of colorful lights out side on their homes and shrubs and it is beautiful with the white snow. Have a wonderful day.

MY DEAREST SISTER
I AM PRAYING FOR DYANA AND WYAN AND YOU... YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR CHURCH. KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS


The Lord Is Our Help

And you and your loved ones are in his "hand" - He has the whole world in His hands! And Dyana too...

Hebrews 13:5-6 :...... for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

So why is it that many Christians still fear tomorrow? Because they have not yet understood the ultimate Sovereignty of God. The Lord is in control and will never allow beyond what we are able to bear, but shall give us strength to endure and to be more than conquerors.

Psalm 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?



The Lord says in Isaiah 51:7-8:
My righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Yani nyoba sms mum lagi tapi nggak bisa (padahal kalo sms ke Papa ato ke adik2 bisa).

Soal ke Bali itu dari yang papa kasih tau ke Yani , mama nggak ikut karena Linda dan Vinna nggak ikut (ada tugas pelayanan di gereja), maksud papa itu biar mama nemenin adik2.
Yani tiba di jakarta tanggal 12 Desember sekitar jam 18.30, nanti kita dijemput sama papa, lalu nginepnya di Grand Mulia. Tanggal 20 Desember kita berangkat ke Bali dan nginep disana sampai tanggal 24 Desember. Nanti yang berangkat itu papa, tante Devi, mbak Diana, Wayan, Henning, Max dan Yani. Tanggal 25 dan 26 Desember Yani masih di Jakarta, tanggal 27 Desember pagi (sekitar jam 10-an) Henning, Max dan Yani terbang ke Singapore buat tahun baruan di sana, lalu tanggal 9 Januari terbang balik ke Jerman.
Nanti oleh2 buat Bude Rahmat Yani bawain. Mungkin nggak kuno, tapi yang pasti dari kayu.

I hope you are doing well spiritually and Healthwise. I believe you are fine with God's grace.

I am so tourched by the message you left me i can see the date that you sent it some time back. Thank you for the Love may God bless you so much I pray in Jesus's name. Amen.

Otherwise I am fine enjoying life in Jesus Christ. I see God's mercy's everyday and Jesus has never left me. He has kept me safe from alot of things. Actually lots of miracles have happened to me since we last talked that I cant write all on paper. Stick to Jesus for He is truelly Faithful my dear.
