Not just a shortened version of your given name, but a name of endearment or description given to you by your family, friends or maybe even a bully at school.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Names are very important and they often can tell us a lot about a person... names like Big Jack or Princess or Buddy or Stinky can give us word pictures about a person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The names of God tell us, His family, a lot about Him too...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">The bible is filled with the names of God... Elohim, Yahweh, El Shaddai, Adonai, Jehovah -jireh, Jehovah-shalom, Messiah, Christ and many more... but mostly in our English bibles we see God's name written as God and Lord. It is hard to catch the true and deep flavor of the names of God and why they are so important in showing us who God is.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To the ancients, a name was a window into the character and the abilities of a person... and even God Himself. </div><div style="text-align: center;">God told Mary and Joseph to name their firstborn baby Jesus. Jesus means "God saves".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So when we are hearing Jesus, the Jews were hearing "God saves"! What a perfect describer for this baby who would grow up to save the whole world!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel bad for Jabez and Mahlon and Achan... who's names mean "sorrow", "sickness" and "trouble". I wonder if we get the phrase "here comes trouble" from Achan?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If we just dig in the bible a little we can learn God's names and from that learn about His wonderful and awesome character.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favorite names for God is found in Genesis 17.  God appears to Abram and says...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">"I am God the Almighty"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">"A ni El Shaddai" (el-shadd-i)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Everyone in the ancient world believed in god... most believed in many gods. We call them idols (literally means "block of wood"... I love that!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">How did the ancients know which god was the real or best god.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">They had a very easy test... the strongest or mightiest god was the real god!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, God appears to Abram and says... Abram I am the true God because I am the ALL Mighty God. Literally, El means god and shaddai means mighty.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Why God used that "nickname" to show who He was to Abram is so interesting!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Abram was a ninety-nine year old man at that time. He had a pretty good and successful life... but the one thing that was most important to a man of his day he did not have... and that was a child. It was a great cultural shame not to have children. And to make things worse, Abram means "exulted or great father"!  Every time his name was spoken it reminded him of the biggest shame of his life!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But God, El Shaddai was about to show Abram just how mighty of a God He was!  God changed Abram's name to Abraham... "father of a multitude of nations"!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">God would have to be the mightiest of all and the true God if he could take a ninety-nine year old man and his old wife and make them the patriarchs of a multitude of nations... and God Almighty... El Shaddai... did just that! Abraham's descendants are as numerous as the stars!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">God showed this ancient man that he was the mightiest God... the only true God... and the story of Abraham shows us that too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What are you facing that needs a might God...are you carrying something heavy... do you need to see God's mighty power in your life?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't turn to other things (blocks of wood) to help you... you have El Shaddai... the Almighty God, who loves you more than you could ever imagine, to help you.  Just ask... and keep on asking!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is also know as Jehovah-jireh (Genesis 22), the God Who Provides! Our Almighty God will provide what you need... what you really need!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some other names of God...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">God is El Sabaoth~ the God of the Armies of Heaven</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is El Elyon~ the Most High God</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Adonai~ Master</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Jehovah~ The Lord, The Self-Existent God, God's Covenant Name</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Jehovah Raah~ The Lord My Shepherd</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Jehovah Rapha~ The Lord Who Heals</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Jehovah Mekoddishkem~ The Lord Who Sanctifies You</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is El Olam~ The Everlasting God</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Jehovah Shalom~ The Lord Of Peace</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is Elohim~ The Creator, The Triune God</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are more names of God that show His wonderful character... and His ability!  No wonder the Bible says that He is our</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> ALL IN ALL...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">everything we would ever need or want!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

I think my most favorite day of the year is Christmas Eve... well... my most favorite time of the year is Christmas Eve evening. I love going to Church... I can feel the sacredness of these few hours... I love the lights and the music and being with my family!!!<br /><br />Then comes the joy and fun and food of Christmas Day!!!<br /><br />We are neck-deep in Christmas traditions at StoneGable! From no children (not even adult children) allowed downstairs until Bobby goes down and turns on the tree lights etc and makes sure Santa has come... to the tradition of the food we eat!<br /><br />My son called me two days ago to make sure we were having the same menu for Christmas brunch!!! "We ARE having Christmas casserole, aren't we, Mom?" <br /><br />Traditions bind families together and makes memories. I hope your Christmas is filled with love, peace and lots of beautiful traditions!<br /><br />NOW HERE'S WHAT'S ON THE MENU...<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">MONDAY~ CHRISTMAS EVE</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/crab-and-lobster-pot-pie" target="_blank">CRAB AND LOBSTER POT PIE</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/waldorf-salad-from-stonegable-s-kitchen" target="_blank">WALDORF SALAD</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stonegableblog.com/2012/09/lace-cookies.html" target="_blank">LACE COOKIES</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
