my kids knew from the first tooth that mom was the tooth fairy, because i had to put an IOU under the pillow LOL.

:blink: You didn't????? :D That's priceless -- Something they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives. Wait until your grankids and great grankids hear this. :D

i did!!! in fact, i think they got IOUs for most of their teeth.

i'll never forget when my oldest lost her first tooth. she came in telling me it was loose, and my boyfriend at the time offered to help her get it out in the same way that all kids of our generation were offered... "here, bring me a string and i'll tie your tooth to a doorknob and shut the door".

well, rana was having none of that! she went off to the bathroom and came back a few minutes later holding her own tooth!

"Those who think it is all right to eat anything must not look down on those who won't. And those who won't eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn God's servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong." Romans 14:3,4

Please allow me to take the liberty:

"Those who think it is all right to celebrate Christmas must not look down on those who won't. And those who won't celebrate Christmas must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn God's servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong."

Christmas is no more pagan than eating the pagan meat taken from the mouth of the gods in pagan temples.

Pagan. Pagan. Pagan. Pagan.

Its all around us!!!!

SO lets heed the words of the Apostle and get on with the true work of the Kingdom

Handmaid, I've no doubt your intentions are the best and your heart in the right place. But you need to realize that everyone has reached a conclusion on this subject based on their own prayer and walk with God. I see no one here taking the birth of Christ lightly. These are an outstanding group of Christians here as you'll see for yourself after you've been here a while.

We may disagree on many topics a lot of the time but the bottom line is that everyone shares a love for the Lord. And after the smoke from a heated debate has cleared there remains a respect and mutual faith in Christ that never waivers.

God Bless you!

Amen River :blink: I've been reading this thread and taking it all in.

God's people can disagree and all well!

But I find it more offensive that a Christian not only doesn't celebrate the season, but finds fault with brothers and sisters for doing so.

Artsy: You go, girl! :P

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
