Happy Holidays OS... (Photo Essay)

Rate: 31 Flag

 Another Year has past by us so quickly; that there was no time to grasp all that the year had to offer. Now is the time to look back at what happened all year.  Take time out to focus on what we need, and want to change, for this next New Year that is coming upon us.

Why do we all wait until the year ends to make choices to change things? When we should wake upon every day, and look at it as a new beginning, to start something different. To make the changes, to be the great person that we all can become. Why wait 364 days to make changes that could affect our lives, and who we are, and what we can be? Why not look at every day at what we need to accomplish inward to be a better person? No matter what this last year has dealt us, we have the opportunity to make changes not just every year, but every day.


Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year.

His Strength can overcome all obstacles, and remove the mountains in our way. He is the shoulder we can cry on; He can lift us up when we fall. Even if you don't feel His presence, He is still there, Trust in Him. --Fireeyes24

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with measures you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2

 If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone. John 8: 7

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye.” when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:3-5

 So in everything, you do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12

Love your neighbors as yourself. Matthew 7:29

 

  Jesus 2

 

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things. Romans 2:1

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opener for you. For everyone who ask receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.  Matthew 7:7

What a nice post that tells that all of us are brothers and sisters, and being quick to judge others when you live in a glass houses is foolish indeed!

While institutional religion might have de-spiritualized the message (by over-humanizing it), the Message at base is truth. Thanks for the reminder--and the reminder to be ready to change our lives every day. Always good to be hit over the head with that one again!

Merry Christmas, FE!
Powerful words and images. Happy Holidays to you too!
Wonderful, FE. And a true and brilliant message each of us needs to take to heart.

Have a glorious Christmas.

Monte
Thank you fireeyes. Peace to you this Holiday Season
You just presented with this post the best of what Jesus had to offer. False judgment is the ultimate unfairness. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks, FE, many happy returns!
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year

FE,
A strong reminder done beautifully. Happy Holidays!
Lovely post, Fire. I have been "inspired" to sing a certain song at my church during a night set aside for gifts and talents. I wanted to sing, but didn't know what- and the First Noel kept coming to mind. I thought that it might be hard to sing that one, so I was keeping an open mind still when finally I opened up my Christmas present from the preacher and it was a big wooden nicknack that says, "NOEL." Okay, God. I can take a hint.
AuntSal- I am so happy that thought this was a beautiful reminder.. Happy Holidays to you and yours.. Thank you

Tai- What an amazing gift.. You will have to show me next time I come down to visit. Which we already know will be in June,.. :)
I wish I was there to hear you sing that song. You always have had a beautiful singing voice.. Glad you liked my beautiful post. Happy Holidays.. {{HUGS}} Love ya!! Thank you

BarkingLot4- Glad you thought this messages full of grace. Happy Holidays to you and yours.. Thank you
Amen FE! Happiest of Chritmas's to you!
Chicago- Happiest Christmas to you and yours.. Glad you liked it.. Thank you
You have included some of my favorite verses here, FE, and beautiful images. Jesus was about bringing hope and love - I often wonder how such a simple message can be so misconstrued. Blessings to you this Christmas.
Dustbowl- They are some of my favorite verses also. How the simple messages of these words can get so misconstrued is beyond me also. Jesus brought love, peace,caring and happiness to the world, but yet the world shuts it out. Glad you like the images too, I thought they made the worlds stronger. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also. Bless you and your.. Thank you

KyleD- Glad you thought it was beautiful.. Merry Christmas to you and May your new year be wonderful.. Thank you
Thank You FE, for your kinds words! This is a nice reminder, of the season.. Merry Christmas! Love to you,
Great post! Great words! Great Christmas hugs to you, FE!

I agree that each day should be a new beginning to change ourselves and our world. Little of importance was ever accomplished in a day. Each journey is a series of steps. Not giant leaps.
Life4rent- Not necessary a dream world. If people started to treat others with respect, caring, and kindness then maybe the world would be different. It isn't that hard to treat people good, harder to go out of your way to treat them badly, but unfortunately some people don't get that . Glad you liked the beautiful pictures. Merry Christmas to you too. Thank you

Rita- It is a nice reminder of how we should treat others, not just during this season but all the time. Glad you liked it. Merry Christmas to you. Love to you also. Thank you

Michael- Yes great importance was never accomplished in a day. Journey is step by step, removing those pebbles from that mountain, one pebble at a time. Happy that you liked the Great words, and pictures.. Huge Christmas Hug to you also.. Thank you
Beautiful. The art is stunning.
Jimmymac- Glad you found the art stunning and the post beautiful. Thank you very much. Happy Holidays to you.
Far out lady! Peace to you and yours. Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano! Til next year...Cheers!
TexasBubba- Glad you like it.. SMILES!! Happy Holidays to you and I hope you have a great one.. See ya next year..
Thank you
Although I celebrate midwinter solstice with Christmas traditions, it is not a religious holiday in my family and never has been. The major religions exclude women in such important ways that I exclude them from my holidays. That said, I wish you exactly the Christmas that will please you most.
Hawley- Thank you! I hope you have the best Christmas that makes you happy too.
Merry Christmas a little late and Happy New Years a tad early! :))
