Well By ''Jolly''  Goooooood Morning!

               Every Day is Such a Blessing,  It is the ''First Day of the Rest of Your Life!''.

Yea,  I know,  ''gotta'' fix up Yesterday's mess sometimes!  ''ouch!''

Anyway!,..Go grab that ''cup o' joe'' .put on some ''footy warmer's'' and go snuggle in a warm cushion!..

''In God We Trust!'',  allot of ''hoopla'' over a little saying huh?.

Bunch of you asked me about ''Trusting God'',  and isn't it Wrong to put  God's Name on ''Dirty O'l Money?''

Let's see What Jesus Would Say on that one,  after all we be ''speaking''  about His ''Father'' and all!

Matthew..22:19-22..''Show Me a coin,  Who's picture is stamped on it?''

Caesar's they replied,  ''And who's name is under it?'' Caesar's they replied,

''Well then, give to Caesar what is his,  and to God everything that belongs to God''

Plain and simple!  What  you doubt it?  Oh Our Money! Why God?

November,  1861, with the ''Civil War'' going full bore, America,  still a young Nation and a Religious one at that,  Wanted to Respect the Deity of  God,   After all America was Founded on Christian belief and Freedom to pursue it!

God was the Answer,  After all we were 'Trusting' in God to save this Nation, and we wanted to show that it was in Fact..''In God We Trust''.. 

They put it to bill, passing it to show where the American Faith and Heart was.

 We, Today,  as a Christian Nation  ''Pray'' to God,  and put the ''Trust of the  Nation'' in His hands, or so we hope!

The ''Power's to be'',  Playing a ''mind of blind'' so to speak,  Tried to do a ''monkey shine'',  What?  They ''In God We Trust'' off!.   Nooooo,  they didn't!

They stuck it on the 'side' of the coin!,  Pretty slick,  or so they thought,  tried to fool some of us ''Ol' Timers",  and did! .  But.....

''Fool Us Once, Shame on You,  Fool Us Twice,   Shame on Me'' It didn't quite workout that way,..

We still be a ''Strong Christian Nation'' and seen how they was trying to   ''Fade'' God out!   and ''Fake Us Out!''.

An 'Old Saying goes'  ''From Our Ancestors come our names,  from our virtues,  our Honor''.

Guess we could say,  ''In God We Trust'',  All others pay Cash!

Keep Your ''Trust in the Lord''  He sees everything!

I'll leave you with this Proverb....

Proverb-23:23   ''Buy the Truth, and do not sell it,   Also wisdom and  instruction and understanding''

Jesus say's to ''Be ever vigilant as the watchman on the hill''

Hey,  enough talk about spending money ''I don't have!''.

''In God We Trust'',   kinda has a nice ring to it!

Till next week,  Fast for the ''Holiday's'',  the 'Turkey's will love you for it!

Sherrie n' myself keep a 'Praying' for All of You,  Tough time's going  on,  'Crazy' thing's happening,  Be Safe!.

 Till next week,  God Bless You and ''God Bless America!''

Give Jesus a little ''Shout-Out'',  Talk to Him,   ask Him to keep His Hand  of Comfort over You,  AND ''Our Troop's'',  They are getting ''Hammered''  and need ''Prayer!''.
