My Name is Christine Harris and it's been two years since my last blog. :)
In that time I started and sold a Sweet Shop.
Watched yet another child leave the nest.
Fought back sadness and depression.
Worked a year as a cake decorator at the local grocery store.
Kept on top of my high-functioning anxiety.
Helped my man start a wood-working business.
Added pigs and goats to the farm.
Started working as a Home Care Provider.
Cut sugar permanently out of my life. (which has worked wonders on the depression!)
Baked and ate a rabbit pie. (From rabbit we raised!!)
Started a sugar-free support group.
Joined the local choir.
Then Corona Virus showed up.
Came to Canada.
Came to my province.
.........will it come to "Wingin' It Farm"?
The proverbial "poop" has hit the fan.
And all I can think about is all the people I haven't told about Jesus yet.
If you are reading this ....
Chances are you are a person that God has brought into my life one way or another.
Chances are I consider you a friend and love having you in my life.
Chances are, if you have only known me the last few years, you have even said something like... "I just love the vibes you give off Christine!"
Chances are I really, really, really wanted to tell you that those "vibes" are Jesus.
I could talk for hours about this, but I am going to nut-shell it.
This is what I believe. This is what I trust, hope, wait, and rest in.
I believe that the Bible was written by an Intelligent Being, called God.
I believe that HE created the world and you and me.
I believe that "Adam and Eve" isn't just some fairy tale. I believe it's OUR HISTORY. That mankind was created perfect. But the snake and the apple changed the story line...horrifically.
People have been paying the price ever since.
Booted out of paradise. Struggling through centuries and centuries of pain and death.
Living, dying.
Laughing, weeping.
Loving, warring.
Triumphing, failing.
And always, always, forever and eternity, sinning.
The "snake" was OUR enemy. Still is.
You may have been introduced to him as Satan, Lucifer or The Devil.
I believe we are spiritual beings living in mortal bodies.
I believe our souls will live forever and we will end up in one of two places.
Heaven or Hell.
I believe that "doing our best" won't cut it.
I believe the 10 Commandments aren't just a suggestion.
That when God told us to love Him above all things He meant it.
That we weren't to have "idols" in our life more important than a relationship with Him.
That when He told us not to use His name as a swear word we shouldn't.
That we should rest once in awhile and focus on Him. (Sabbath)
That we should honour those who raised us.
That we should never murder, lie, steal, covet and commit adultery.
I believe that no matter how hard we try we will never, this side of hell, keep those rules.
The bar is set way too high.
I also believe that God loves us. Always has, always will.
He being a perfect Being, wants us, even imperfect that we are, to be with Him forever.
It's a long story and I can't pretend that I understand all the "Whys" but I believe that God sent His Son to die for us.
You've heard His name before. Some of you have said his name already today.
Jesus Christ
I believe Jesus was born of a virgin. Lived a sinless life. Died on a Roman cross. Was buried for three days. Rose from the dead. Visited His friends. Ascended to Heaven and is coming back.
I believe Jesus is our "ticket" to Heaven.
But he is more than that, He's a promise to peace right now.
Cause I may not know all the "whys" but I do know, if the Grim Reaper comes to "Wingin' It Farm" dressed as the Corona Virus, I'll just go home. Home to be with Jesus.
I'm 100% sure of that!
I also believe though, that believing Jesus to be the Son of God and that He was a real man who walked on this earth, isn't enough.
I believe that in order to "go to heaven" you have to do three things.
One, you have to admit that you are a sinner. As in you can't, on your own, follow God's list of rules.
Two, you have to repent. Say you are sorry for the wrong you have done, against God and others.
Three, accept that Jesus died to save you and ask God to become Master of your life and destiny.
In my heart of hearts I know all this to be true.
I hope you do too.
There is much, much more that could be said.
If you want to crack this "nut-shell" open further please, please, please do!!!
You can call, text, write, or email me

I'd say "Come on over!" to West Tatamagouche Road, but Corona has put a halt to visiting in person at the moment.
Love and Prayers,
Christine
Leaving you with one final thought....
If I am wrong about all this, that there is no God, no Jesus, no need to repent...that maybe when we die there is nothing after death, then what will I have lost in believing all this?
Nothing. I along with the rest of you will just cease to exist.
But if I am right, that all this is something, and true, and very important, then when it comes to death, and we all die eventually... what will you lose? I suggest to you that you will lose eternal life filled with happiness and joy with no more pain and tears! You will instead gain eternal death in hell.
So please, whatever you do, take your eternal destination seriously!
