Proverbs 16:20
20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
Wow, who knew that the key to true happiness is trusting in the Lord? I can honestly say that once I discovered this truth, life's burdens became lighter and a lot of emotional baggage just suddenly disappeared. You may say, "Well, I have tried trusting in the Lord and it's not working". My advice is to hearken unto his word and then you will find trusting him becomes second nature. For me, once I became obedient to the Lord's word in areas of my life that I wanted to trust him to oversee, I know longer found it difficult to trust him in those areas.
Along with the holidays comes pressure from the world of what a "Happy Thanksgiving" or "Merry Christmas" should look like. Do not misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong with participating in a traditional holiday celebration with family and friends. In fact, I would have loved to celebrate Thanksgiving with my siblings especially since this is our first Thanksgiving without our mother. Nonetheless, I have come to realize the Lord is not concerned with tradition like he is obedience. Depending on your walk with Christ and his WILL, he may have called you to do something different this year or perhaps your circumstance have lead you to a different place during the holiday season.
Despite your circumstances whether you are alone for the holidays, a single parent with children, sick in a hospital bed, going through a divorce, or in a foreign land on a missionary trip, please remember one thing. Remember to trust in the Lord and this is the key to being happy.
Remember only what you do for Christ will last!
Yours In Him,

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.

"The world turned upside down" depicts life in a typical village it is an illustration of the folly of mankind. I have put a note on a few of the nearly 100 proverbs that are known to be depicted in this complex work. Some do not translate exactly, but one can get an idea of what's going on. It strikes me that very little has changed in four hundred years. This is a copy by Brueghel the younger of his father's work which was in Berlin.Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder which depicts a land populated with literal renditions of Flemish proverbs of the day. The picture is overflowing with references and most of the representations can still be identified; while many of the proverbs have either been forgotten or never made the transition to the English language, some are still in use. Proverbs were popular during Bruegel's time: a number of collections were published including a famous work by Erasmus. Frans Hogenberg had produced an engraving illustrating about 40 proverbs in around 1558 and Bruegel himself had painted a collection of Twelve Proverbs on individual panels by 1558 and had also produced Big Fish Eat Little Fish in 1556, but Netherlandish Proverbs is thought to be the first large scale painting on the theme. Rabelais depicted a land of proverbs in his novel Pantagruel soon after in 1564.
Bruegel's paintings have themes of the absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of mankind, and this painting is no exception. The picture was originally entitled The Blue Cloak or The Folly of the World which indicates he was not intending to produce a mere collection of proverbs but rather a study of human stupidity. Many of the people depicted show the characteristic blank features which Bruegel used to portray fools. His son, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, specialised in making copies of his father's work, and painted up to twenty copies of Netherlandish Proverbs. Not all versions of the painting, by father or son, show exactly the same proverbs, also differing in other details.

Proverbs 19:21The Message (MSG)
21 We humans keep brainstorming options and plans,
but God’s purpose prevails.
Concepts for series on Proverbs. We were asked for a photo with text on it, and maybe some kind of effect. There are several directions we could take. Will be used for the standard mix of uses: onscreen, in print and online.
Audience: We're a downtown church of about 1200 each Sunday. Wide mix of demographics.
