Jeremiah 31:3 ~ Everlasting Love




 




How shall we approach the LORD. Isaiah wondered.






Jeremiah 31:3





The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: 

"I have 
Loved you with an everlasting love;

 I have 
drawn you with Loving-kindness."


  

Church at the Arbol de Tule, tree of Tule, Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico




Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does 
the Lord 
require of you
but to do justice, 
and to love kindness,
and 
to walk humbly with your God?




Galatians 6:9

And let us not grow weary of doing good, 
for in due season 
we will reap, 
if we do not give up.

“They shall be mine, 
says the Lord of Hosts, 

in the day 
when I make up my treasured possession, 
and 
I will spare them 
as a man spares his son 
who serves Him."










Jesus the Lord. Alleluia
and Amen.

Hebrews 11:6 ~ please Him †






104-year-old 
WWII Veteran 
Dominick Critelli 
performs the National Anthem

December 28, 2025



Hebrews 11:6




Without faith it is 
impossible to please Him, 
for whoever would draw near to God
 must 
believe 
that 
He exists 
and that 
He rewards 
those who seek Him 





Proverbs 9:11 

For by Me 
your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.



Psalm 108:13 

With God 
we shall 
do valiantly;
 it is He who will tread down our foes.



Deuteronomy 20:4
 
For the Lord your God 
is He 
who goes with you 
to fight for you 
against your enemies, to give you 
the Victory


1 Corinthians 15:57 

But thanks be to God, 
Who gives us the victory 
through our Lord Jesus Christ.



Philippians 4:13 

I can do all things through Him 
Who strengthens me.




James 1:12-14

Blessed is the man 
who remains steadfast under trial, 
for when he has stood the test he will receive the Crown of Life, 
which God has promised 
to those who Love Him. 

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.



Psalm 92:14
 
 They will still yield fruit in old age; 
they shall be full of sap and very green




Deuteronomy 4:40
 
So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments 
which I am giving you today, 
that it may go well with you and with your children after you, 
and 
that you may live long on the land 
which the LORD your God 
is giving you for all time.


Deuteronomy 5:33
 
You shall walk in all the way 
that the Lord your God has commanded you, 
that you may live, 
and that 
it may go well with you, 
and that 
you may live long in the land that you shall possess.




Proverbs 16:31 

Gray hair is a crown of glory; 
it is gained in a righteous life.


1 Kings 3:14

And 
if you will walk in my ways, 
keeping My Statutes and My Commandments, 
as your father David walked, 
then 
I will lengthen your days.



Genesis 17:1
 
Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, 
The LORD appeared to Abram 
and said to him, 

“I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.


Genesis 24:1
 
 Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; 
and 
The LORD had blessed Abraham in every way.

Is this , really, is that true Scripture?

Let's go the way of Bereans....


Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

No, it's not,  you know, Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose. And it's not like these dear hearts.

But it's probably more like Nicholas of Myra. These days you can find him as old bones in St. Nicholas Church, Demre, Turkey.  Sometimes he is know as Nicholas of Bari. Or the Bishop of Myra.

You know Nicholas, you are a friend of Nicholas.  

And some day, you and Nicholas will not be speaking through a glass darkly. Instead, you will know the people Nicholas knows, today.

The Queen Mother of England, Elizabeth, Elizabeth II's mother. Lived to be just shy of 103. Known for taking up the bumpy road of Queen as Europe exploded into bombing and potential invasion of World War II.  Living as a brave example.  At 101, with a broken hip, she insisted on standing during the National Anthem to promote a stable nation. Tremendously involved in safety with the British Red Cross. Victoria League and Pibaireachd, the help for the impoverished.

And her friend, Winston Churchill, at 92. This man saved Europe from Hitler. Enough said. He was given the job when death arrived at the door. A doomed army. A miracle of survival. God Bless Winston Churchill. 

President Jimmy Carter. 100. When he found out the Boys and Girls good works were faltering, at age 99, he enabled the Georgia Club to be solid for youth and opportunity.  Habitat for Humanity. Love for the Nation. Always speaking of Jesus Christ and his faith.

Kirk Douglas, age 103.  At age 74, Douglas was in a helicopter and was injured when the aircraft collided with a small plane above Santa Paula Airport and two people in the plane were killed.This near-death experience sparked a search for meaning by Douglas, which led him, after much study, to embrace Judaism. He documented this spiritual journey in his book, Climbing the Mountain: My Search for Meaning (1997).[In Jerusalem and the Western Wall Tunnel, he dedicated two playgrounds he donated to the state. His tour guide arranged to end the tour of the tunnel at the bedrock where, according to Jewish tradition, Abraham's binding of Isaac took place. Kirk Douglas recalled, "Years back, I tried to forget that I was a Jew," but later in his career he began "coming to grips with what it means to be a Jew," which became a theme in his life. 

Olivia de Havilland age 104. In her 70s, de Havilland visited numerous US cities, raising funds for “Venture,” a $100 million program to expand missions of the Episcopal Church. When parishioners were at a maximum.

Queen Elizabeth II, age 96. Buckingham Palace was crowned with a double rainbow on the day of her triumphant entry into Heaven. Worked as a mechanic for the British Army during World War II. Was queen for almost 71 years. And inherited an empire crumbling into dust. A woman queen set, by events before her birth, to fail. And instead, Elizabeth was a woman of Tremendous Faith. Frequently in correspondence with Billy Graham. Leading the Church of England. Establishing instead of failure a nation linked with loyalty in the Commonwealth with 56 Nations and 2.5 Billion people.  

Sadly, the recent events of PM Starmer's meddling in the Archbishop of Canterbury appointment and outrageous activities, Mulalley's confession of leaking confidential information to a bishop found in sexual abuse and abuses are splintering the Church with Africa and Asia, she fought for and led. This combines with murmuring in the  Commonwealth. Jamaica, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda have expressed intentions to cut formal ties. The Caribbean wants to enter into negotiations as well. Some feel aligning with China would be more profitable.  Lord Jesus Christ.  Lead them back into this Light.  So much good has been done. 
  
Ebby Halliday of Dallas, was the largest real estate residential organization in sales from 1945 until 1992. Ebby helped raise her 7 younger brothers and sisters. And after she had made her fortune, Ebby spent her days being asked to speak at every major Dallas charitable event or foundation. And every day her phone would ring for help and assistance. Ebby always gave, but never cash. She gave instruments, convalescence furniture, bedding and band uniforms. Trips to Science Fairs and a Hospital ER. Every single day. Because her faith in the Lord never wavered. Each week Ebby provided a cake the size of a massive wedding cake for her church to have coffee hour with cake.  Ebby worked at Ebby Halliday even at 103 years old. My mother was her assistant for 31 years, until the end, and Ebby died well loved at age 104. Her company was bought by Warren Buffett after she passed on. Ebby left her profits to her longtime sales and corporate employees. Many had worked for her from 1945 to very old age. 

The Promises of the Lord are sure.



Psalm 92:14
 
They will still yield fruit in old age; 
they shall be full of sap and very green

Matthew 25:1-13 ~ Will be

 









Matthew 25:1-13




"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be

Like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 


Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 

The wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 

 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 

7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 

 But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' 

10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But He answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 

13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.





How does your house look? This is the very first Christmas after being empty-nesters, we decided to move forward doing a few things rather than clean up. So, a Cleanup will follow tomorrow.



Last year, I created a one room Christmas mess / disaster for a month. February was solidly clean.

January, 2025, was one room filled with paper, ribbons and Modge Podge. 25 or more boxes were Modge Podged on 3 sides with ribbon fixed on the outline of each side of the box.  Wrapping gifts is not my forte. Just sincerely do not like wrapping gifts. And boxes with many, many years collected, diligently of beautiful bows, only requiring to be taped to the top and Scotch-taped firmly to the bottom.  What I learned: I used Amazon boxes, but product boxes are the smooth surfaces.  Now all 3 sides are papered, ribbon glued to all 4 edges, and a big bow with another bow and some decoration in the center.  Stored under brown paper in the attic. This Christmas was easy. Have a gift, then place it in the open bottom.  We had gifts under the tree already done in the early December days. I suppose you could have bags in the boxes taped to avoid small fingers finding the gift!

I may have gotten a little too, very, comfortable with a Christmas mess.  Tomorrow will go better. Pretty sure.









Jesus the Lord. Alleluia
and Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
