Jesus says, “remain in me. . .” Remain in my love. . . If any remain in me and I remain in them, they produce fruit. Our task? It’s clear. Stay close to the vine. Jesus said, “apart from Me, you can do nothing.” John 15:5 ~Max

The Wellston babies spent the night on Saturday....they are adorable! Sunday we took them to STS Peter and Paul to meet up with Mom and Dad after Mass. I am so thankful that all of my children are actively seeking instruction for their little ones...all 7 kids attend a Catholic Church! It is interesting to note that my siblings and I were raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools...3 remain Catholic and 3 are non denominational....all of us are active in our Churches. Generational blessings!

“Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God.” (Rom. 15:7)

Love each others as much as Christ loves you and don't forget to share that Good News with others :)

Hebrews 12:14 says, “Anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord.”

You’ve done some nice things in your life.  But you have not done enough good works to go to heaven regardless of your sacrifice.  Nor do you have enough character to go to heaven.

  Please don’t be offended.  Then, again, be offended, if necessary.  You’re probably a very decent person.  But decency isn’t enough.  You may pay taxes and kiss your kids and sleep with a clean conscience.

Hebrews 12:14 says, “Anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord.” 

Apart from Christ you are not holy.  So how can you go to heaven?  Only believe.  

Accept the work already done, the work of Jesus on the cross.  Accept the goodness of Jesus Christ.  Abandon your own works and accept his. It would have bankrupted you or me, the price was so extravagant.

Call it a gift.  But don’t call it easy.  Call it what it is.  Call it grace.

“ For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. Corinthians 12:12”

“The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent. John 6:29”

Just believe that He loves you no matter what anyone says or does to make you feel otherwise.....you are His!

Accept His gift of salvation and the rest is up to Him :-)

He is faithful to complete that good work which He started in you!

“Because He delights in me, He saved me. Psalm 18:19 ”

Wow it was a busy weekend! Saturday we went to the Amish country to purchase curtains for the kitchen and to pick up lanterns for Kristyl as a gift for her husband for Christmas. We got home from Holmes County @4:30 and picked up Mom and Dad @5:30 for Ocie's 1st Birthday Party....she is soooo stinkin" in cute!!

Sunday we took Mom and Dad to Marla's for Ciarnan's 5th Birthday.....how the heck did that happen? It is always a feast @her house and Caitlyn did a Recital in honor of the day"Recital for Ciarnan's Birthday" complete with a printed program...she played 2 songs on the piano "Shepherds Song" and "Lost Jewel"(which she wrote herself @7) and then she sang "Castle On A Cloud" my personal favorite!

I had her sign the Playbill...so I can say I knew her when!!

Philippians 1:6, “God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.”

Daily we are transformed into the new man, precept upon precept, and when He comes or when we go home to be with Him we will be totally whole and complete!

I Facetimed with the Columbus babies again this morning...the Wellston group wants an iPad from Nana and Pooh for Christmas and I can't wait.....we can all see Nana in her glory @7am....it is not a pretty sight :)
