>> COREY ANSON: Hi, I'm Corey Anson. This is my wife Sherrie

and we're here to tell our story of God's goodness to us through

difficult times. Twenty years ago, when we're pregnant with

twins, we ended up having an early delivery, 21 weeks. Our

first daughter who we named Hope was born. She was just under one

pound. And then six weeks later, at 27 weeks our second daughter

who we named Jocelyn was born and she was just under

two pounds.

>>SHERRIE: When I went in to premature labor with our first

daughter, the doctors told us that she would not live. That

her lungs were not developed and that she would not be able to

survive outside of the womb. They told us that they wanted to

wait until the labor stopped and then deliver one twin, complete

the surgery and hopes of delaying the birth of our second

twin. During those 15 and 1/2 hours I remember being really

just emotionless and when the delivery did take place, the

amazing thing that happened was as the doctor lifted my daughter

up and said it's a girl, this wave of joy and love just washed

over me for a moment. It was something that I looked back on

as being a gift from God. He knew that my baby would not live

but there was this moment that I can look back on where that joy

and love came over me. Even though I know that I wouldn't

have my daughter with me. She lived for 15 minutes which was

amazing. We watched her wrinkle her eyebrows and opened and

closed her mouth and when the nurse took her from me, her

spirit left.

>>COREY: This brought us closer together in our relationship as

we're experiencing the same difficulty, the same emotional

turmoil and it has really made us rely on each other and not

only on each other but together we rely on God to give us the

strength, to comfort us, and to just to keep us going. The

medical staff were prepared for us when we came in for the

delivery of Hope. There was a surgeon that was called in and

when Hope was delivered, the surgeon who performed the little

operation and the hopes of that was to allow Jocelyn to remain

within the womb and to keep her in there as long as they could.

>>SHERRIE: Jocelyn was born 6 weeks later and she was rush in

ICU. She was put on an open bed and she was hooked up to

respirator as well as other machines and she remained that

way until day nine. And on day nine, she came off of the

respirator and her oxygen levels were considered normal. This was

a miracle for such a small premature baby.

>>COREY: We spent a lot of days at the hospital. Sherrie would

spend in just about all of her day at the hospital and when I

was done work then I would come there for the evening. We spent

lots of time there and the nurses were quite comfortable

with having us around. And they were actually quite confident in

the things that we were doing there. And eventually they

showed us how to revive Jocelyn. This was about one month into

her stay in ICU. Jocelyn with her heart rate would drop and

eventually minutes later she would just stop breathing. And

they should us how to rub her back and stimulate her so that

that would reactivate her brain to kickstart her heart and get

her to breathe again. That was, that was a lot of stress. When

we would leave at the end of the night, we would leave not

knowing what we would be returning to the next morning.

>>SHERRIE: I remember being at home and having a nurse come to

do a follow visit with me. And I remember questioning her in my

deep despair for my daughter in the hospital. Firstly, wondering

what kind of emotional trouble she might have being separated

from her twin. And secondly, what her chances of survival

were. And this nurse told me first of all to always be

truthful with her and share the experience with her as she grew

older. And then she also told me that I should pray that Jocelyn

would be developed in the Isolette as she would have been

in the womb. Another nurse at the hospital told us that we

could record our voices and whatever we wanted to put on a

tape and that they would place it in her Isolette with the

small speaker and they would play it for her repeatedly when

we weren't there. So we created a tape and we prayed that exact

prayer, we asked God to create her in that Isolette just as He

would have in the womb.

>>COREY: I remember coming up to visit at the hospital and as I

come out of the elevator on the floor. She, Sherrie standing out

overlooking over the lobby. She was quite distressed. She had

been crying quite hard and I knew that something was wrong.

She then told me that the doctors just told her that

Jocelyn had taken a turn for the worst and that you can expect

that she could die at any moment now. I pleaded with God to

please don't take her.

>>SHERRIE: I had been called in to talk to the doctors. And as I

stood beside the Isolette, beside my daughter. The doctors

had told me that they didn't know what was going on with her

body but it was rejecting the feeding and that she could die.

And I remember standing there and feeling like I just wanted

to run. But as soon as they were finished, I couldn't bear to

stand beside her. I ran out into the hallway and that's where

Corey found me. And I, too, was pleading with God, saying to Him

in that hospital hallway, "Please don't take her, but if

You do I'm still gonna love You and serve You. Our prayer line

was started. The next morning, we went in to see the doctors

and they said that all threatening signs had

disappeared and they couldn't explain it. We could explain

that. We knew God had heard the prayers of all those people

praying for our daughter.

>>COREY: After a hundred and two visits to the hospital and

Jocelyn being five pounds, three ounces now. We were able to

bring her home, what joy I had.

>>SHERRIE: Today, our daughter is actually

studying to work in the medical field. And, you

know, I just think about when I was standing beside that

Isolette, if only I would have known at that point that, you

know, one day she's gonna study to work in medical field. And we

went on to have another daughter and this has impacted every

member of our family as we looked back on all of things

that God was in, all of the times that He was right beside

us and guiding us and protecting us. We're just so thankful for

all that His done for us.

>>RILEY: Hi, I'm Riley. I grew up in a Christian home and I was

saved at the age of three years old when my parents led me to

the Lord. It was good. It was awesome to grow up and have that

opportunity and I grew up in a great church, in FAITH ALIVE

FAMILY CHURCH and I learned so much about God. Well, as time

went on, in my teen years my dad bought me my own Bible. It's an

NLT version and I started to read it for the first time on my

own and not just being told to in school or being made to by my

parents. But I started to look into it and I read a passage in

Luke chapter 7 that hit me quite powerfully. It was a story where

this woman comes in and she's crying and she wept and bowed

down at Jesus' feet and her tears would wash His feet and

her hair would dry them. The people around who I would

classify as religious folk. They were offended at what she was

doing but Jesus applauded her. He was touched and He said, "You

didn't give me any oil for my head or any water for my feet.

But this woman has washed my feet with her tears and dried

with her hair." He said something very profound that hit

me like a ton of bricks. He said to those who have been forgiven

a lot, they will love a lot. And for those who have been forgiven

a little will only love a little. When I read that like, I

was a little nervous for myself because I didn't feel like I did

a lot wrong. I was, I guess you could say self-righteous.

Because I had such a good life, I didn't think I had a lot to be

forgiven. I don't think I understood what this salvation

really meant. And so I start to get impacted by what the Word of

God was saying and I started to dig deeper. And as time went on

and as I would seek God, He started to expose things. And it

says in the Bible the Word of God is like a mirror. And as I

would look into this mirror God would be exposing things that

are in my life. So where I thought that there were certain

sin that were so bad that people will get save from. I didn't

realize that there were things in my own life that were far

worse than some sins that people would classify as really bad.

And so God started to expose the pride in my life of

self-righteousness. And there's a lot of kids I grew up with who

didn't continue to serve God as they got older. There's probably

a bunch of reasons why, but I think one of the deepest reasons

is that it's easy to fall into this self-righteous trap of

thinking that you're all right and not recognizing your need

for a savior. And so God was exposing my, the darkness in my

heart and I didn't like it and I didn't wanna see the same. And

for the first time in my life, I really start to understand what

Jesus saved me from and it changed my life. I was given a

new understanding. And where I had some love for God before, He

started to pour His love into me because I realized that He saved

me from something far worse than any sin that I could think of.

It was the sin of pride. It was deep and it was polluting every

part of my life. And so, when God, it's like He burst through

the door. He broke down the walls of my pride and brought

salvation to me and He saved me. And although I did accept Jesus

into my heart when I was three. I'm not sure if I understood the

significance. And as I got older, He, God has revealed

Himself to me more and more. And to be honest with you, it's like

I got saved a number of times and it's like God still is

saving me today. And I'm so thankful for what He did for me

and I have so much love for Him because I realized how much He

loves me by walking through my pride and giving me His hand to

pull me up higher and to pull me out of that mess. And so I'm

very thankful that I'm saved and that I have a life inside of Him

in His love and it's just, it's life changing.

>>DEREK: Hi, my name is Derek.

>>MELISSA: And mine is Melissa. >>DEREK: And this is our

salvation testimony. So I grew up in Christian home and

unfortunately I never had a personal relationship with God.

So when I finished high school I pretty much strayed away and

that led to a life of a lot of poor decisions. But through a

series of events God had a bigger plan for us and I ended

up meeting Melissa at a bar of all places.

>>MELISSA: Yeah, so we met and, you know, kind of quickly feel

in love. And unfortunately, at that time we were not living for

God and making all of the wrong decisions. So what started

really nicely turned into a lot of fighting, mistrust,

unfaithfulness, drugs, alcohol, pretty much nothing good. And

very quickly at seven weeks we found out that we were pregnant.

And I really believed that's where God decided to enter,

re-entering our lives, to tell you it's really with, sort of

straighten our path with following God and ever since

then everything has just gotten better every day.

>>DEREK: Our lives have drastically changed from where

we were to where we are now. We all owe that to God, for Him

having a much bigger plan for us in mind than what we had for

ourselves. And now we have a godly home filled with love. We

have a beautiful daughter, a great church family, and we owe

it all to Him.

>>MELISSA: Yeah, we really wouldn't be here without him.

Everything in our life that we have it's good. It's because of

Him and trusting Him. We wouldn't have gotten to where we

are just on our own which is what we were trying to do. I

think when people try to do life without God, you'll find out

really quickly that you just gonna keep, you know, failing in

different ways but you're always gonna get to the same results.

Which is that you need God in order to have a good life and

live a purpose that He designed for us. He is the best designer

and, you know, He put us together and now we're happy and

life's good.

>>DEREK: So we just, we owe it all to Him. We praise Him. We

basically our lives are for His glory and for His honor.

>>RENE: Hi, my name's Rene and this is my salvation testimony.

I was saved at a very young age, about the age of five when my

mom invited me to ask Jesus into my heart. Being so young there

wasn't really a big night to day experience and I had a very good

upbringing. I lived in a Christian family, in a Christian

home. Through my teen years, God wasn't really something that

excited me a lot, though I knew it was right to serve Him. I

kind of made my mind up that I was gonna serve God just

sometime down the road. Maybe when I settle down with the wife

and kids, you know, we would do the church thing. It was shortly

after high school, I moved from a small town into the big city

of Saskatoon. And I moved in with my cousin and his

roommates. Now, my intension moving to the big city was to,

you know, to have fun and to go and live the life and maybe to

party, that kind of stuff. But what amazed me was that my

cousin who was about 21, 22 years old and his roommates

roughly the same age. They were all going to church three times

a week. So I was really blown away by that, a little annoyed

by that, because of course I came to have fun. But at the

same time my interest was piqued. So I had to come and

check out this church that would interest twenty somethings to go

three times a week. So I came here to FAITH ALIVE FAMILY

CHURCH and I was 18 years old. When I came in, I think it was

the very first time that I was in a group of people that wanted

to be a church. You know the church as I grew up in, people

were very friendly. They were nice but you could tell a lot of

it was, you know, kind of a facade, kind of plasticky, fake

smiles, and that kind of thing. But when I came to FAITH ALIVE,

the people were genuine and you could feel the love of God on

them. So it was very interesting to me. And when the service

continued on, I felt for the very first time in my life, I

felt the presence of God. And you know, though I knew Jesus

was in my heart and, you know, I had an abiding presence of God.

There was something different about the atmosphere. It seemed

to be charged with life, probably the best way that I can

describe it. And it wasn't long after that that I found out

about the Holy Spirit. That I could be filled with the Holy

Spirit. So that's began my journey into adulthood. I had

recommitted myself to Jesus and before long I was filled with

the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and my life began to

transform. I became a different person. I became a bold person

rather than a very shy person. And I just had, I had a lot more

life than I'd ever had before. And though, you know, my

Christianity has had, you know, it's ups and downs. I would say

today that I've got more of a love for God than I ever have

and my relationship with Him is growing stronger and stronger.

That maybe a little different for a lot of people who make an

initial commitment to God and then, you know, seemed to waffle

day by day. I find myself getting closer to God and

feeling more of His presence and more of His power. And it really

is a joy to serve Jesus and I couldn't imagine life

without Him.

>>BARB: Have you ever been weigh down? Feel like life is just too

hard. Feel like the burden of the world is being carried on

your shoulders. You know Jesus want to come and He wants to

help you. He wants to lift that burden off and bring joy and

peace in life. Repeat this prayer after me. Dear Jesus,

come into my life. Remove this burden that I'm carrying and

replace it with peace, joy, and love. In Jesus name. Amen.

>> I wanna stay here. I come alive here. I wanna stay here.

Where earth becomes like heaven in this moment. I wanna stay

here. I come alive here. I wanna stay here. Where earth becomes

like heaven in this moment. I wanna stay. I wanna stay. Let me

stay here, Lord. I wanna stay with You for all my days where

Your presence carries me. We're all free to see. I wanna stay

here. I come alive here. I wanna stay here. Where earth becomes

like heaven in this moment. Lord, I'm singing. I wanna stay

here with You, Lord. I come alive here. I can feel it now. I

wanna stay here. Where earth becomes like heaven in this

moment. This moment. Captivated by Your presence. Pull me

closer. I surrender my whole, Lord, to be right where You are.

Captivated by Your presence. Pull me closer. I surrender my

whole, Lord, to be right where You are. I wanna stay here. I

come alive here. I wanna stay here. Where earth becomes like

heaven in this moment. This moment. Captivated by Your

right where You are. How captivating. May Your presence

draw me in. Your presence draws me in. Here I am, how all the

way You are. How all the way You are, we worship for You.

>>BARB: Wasn't that powerful? God took impossible situations

and He made them possible. God is interested in doing that for

you, too. Would you let Him? Let's pray. Father, I thank You

that You are God of the impossible. Lord, I thank You

that You can take terrible situations and turn them and

make them possible situations. So right now, we release Your

power to come in to every home, every person listening today and

surround them and change their situation. Amen. If you would

ANZAC Friendship Remembrance Video Hop & GIVEAWAY 2018! - Duration: 8:38.

hi it's Therese from Lostinpaper and I'm really excited to be here as part of

the ANZAC Day friendship remembrance video hop. I'm going to do some messy

Copic coloring today and I've got this gorgeous stamp from penny black which is

called poppy gems now it is a red rubber cling stamp so I did decide to use my

Misti I am trying out the new extreme black ink from MFT which is Copic

friendly it could be used for so many different things but it's meant to be a

little bit blacker than the tuxedo black and I do like it with my copics it does

work well I don't think there's a lot of difference it may be a little bit

blacker I'll get back to you on that so messy Copic coloring I've used this

technique before and basically I am NOT being particular with my blending and I

have it almost gives you a watercolor look without using water colors so I do

do one petal of each flower at a time and that way it does allow it to blend a

little bit but I'm trying not to overdo it and of course you know what it's like

the first flower I think I overdid this flower I couldn't help myself I kept

coming back in and blending and I should have just backed off a little bit but I

got into the swing of things and you'll notice as I move along the image a

little bit more that I does my coloring does become a little bit looser shall we

say, it's kind of like the first pancake that you make the

sacrifice of the first pancake, in the pan, they never as good as the

rest for some reason doe's anyone know the answer to why I don't know? Oh anyway

I forgot to mention that there's a giveaway today but I'll explain that a

little bit more in the video so I want to talk a little bit about em Anzac Day

here, it is a solemn kind of day for us

it stands for it's Australian and New Zealand Army Corps so that's what Anzac

stands for so you'll find that there's both Australians and New Zealand

youtubers along this video hop and a real variety of inspiration along the

way some people have really embraced the whole Anzac theme others have embraced

the friendship theme because it is a day of remembrance and it's remembrance of

those that have been fallen and affected by war and the day itself is

commemorative of the day that the Australian and New Zealand forces landed

in Gallipoli so that's why it's April the 25th and poppies are the flower that

they're actually red poppies that are used on the on the Day of Remembrance

people wear them in remembrance but also it signifies the bond of esteem,

affection and respect so we wanted to celebrate the friendship as well as

remember the Anzacs and all those affected by war I was originally going

to make a friendship style card like using images and do something a little

bit cutesy I suppose but then I remembered that I had this poppy stamp from penny

black and once I thought of that I just couldn't get that one out of my brain so

I went with the poppy gem stamp instead I thought by colouring him in purple it

would just be a really pretty color too actually and I can't

remember I have color these flowers before like currently what color though

I used the other times I think maybe it was yellow but I think the purple looks

amazing, like I said there is a giveaway I am going to give a $50 gift

certificate away and all the details will be at my blog you do have two

chances to win so if you are a subscriber in your comment here

at my youtube channel you're in with one chance if you head over to my blog which

the link will be in the description below and you comment at my blog as

well you'll have a second chance to win and like I said all the details will be

over at my blog and it's open to everybody all international as well as

Australian New Zealand's anyway you're all welcome to comment and have a chance

to win so all the participants like I said they're going to be either New

Zealand or Australian YouTube paper crafters I will have all the links to

all their blogs as well as all of their videos at my blog as well but the next

person following me will be linked at the end of this video and also in the

description below so the flower centers I did come in with a multiliner and add

some of the details and for the background I decided to continue with my

messy Copic coloring but I found this really hard I I'm not very good at

coloring large areas with my Copic markers there is a bit of a knack to

this and I think my marker was a bit dry so how I got around

that was I just came in with some with the tip of the pen and added some dots

and then set it aside for a week and decided whether I was going to use it or

not, anyway I did resurrect it and added some black splatters as well and

was much happier with this, this is a very busy design for me I've got one of the

mega greetings sentiments from Altenew and I'm just gonna white heat emboss

that on some black cardstock and I did use my powder tool to prep my cardstock

first before I hit with my heat tool it makes it much easier than trying to

clean up embossed white specks afterwards now

I've got a top fold portrait card and I'm adding some adhesive directly to the

card base I've just got some pale gray cardstock this is out of my scraps and I

just thought it'd be nice to have this peeking out from under the bottom and

then I can just I just like to flip it over and cut the edge off I could have

measured it and cut it and this was easier I've popped up the floral panel

with some fun foam and some scor tape and I can just finally add my sentiment

using some this is some black fun not fun foam sticky back foam sticky foam

foam squares that it comes in sheets and I cut it up (and I'm running real low) and

to make my card even busier I have decided to add some black sprinkles and

I used matte medium to do that and I recently loaned my katana to my husband

and he squished the end of it anyway I'm hoping it'll be all right

I remoulded it and set it aside and it seems like it might be fine it is wax

after all I do love my katana and that's my finished card don't forget to head

along and see what everyone else has created or know I'm gonna be heading it

back to the beginning I think I'm last on the hop so head to my blog though

so you can start at the beginning just in case you missed out I'll link to the

first person after me (just in case) until next time

Happy Papercrafting bye

Melania Greets French President, No One Can Take Their Eyes Off What She's Wearing - Duration: 3:28.

Melania Greets French President, No One Can Take Their Eyes Off What She's Wearing.

First Lady Melania Trump is pulling out all the stops for this week as she and President

Donald Trump host French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte at the White

House.

On Tuesday morning, she appeared outside the People's House for the arrival ceremony

honoring the Macrons, and no one could take their eyes off what she was wearing.

Melania always looks flawless.

It's safe to say that we have never had a first lady with such impeccable style.

Jacqueline Kennedy was an icon, but she wasn't a former runway model.

That having been said, Melania's look on Tuesday will go down as one of her greatest

ever.

It was absolutely perfect.

Everything from the fit of Melania's suit to her statement hat to the pop of color she

added with her signature heels was jaw-dropping.

On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania appeared outside the

White House with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.

The arrival ceremony featured a 21-gun salute and review of the troops with all five military

branches present totaling over 500 service members.

Plenty of people were in attendance to watch on the White House lawn.The first lady did

not disappoint with her all-white outfit.

[Source: IJR] The first lady's white hat was a huge hit,

taking the internet by storm:

USA Today reported that Melania was "making waves" in her all-white ensemble:

As the first lady and President Trump greeted French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife

Brigitte Macron at the White House Tuesday, her outfit choice — which included a white

belted blazer from Michael Kors — got people talking.

Though both wives wore white for the occasion, which marks the official arrival of the French

president's three day state visit, Melania's outfit turned heads thanks to her large, wide-brimmed

matching hat.

Not very many women could rock a hat like that.

For that matter, not many women have the figure to wear a tight-fitting white suit.

But this is Melania Trump we're talking about.

Her outfit the night before did not disappoint, either.

As Melania and her husband greeted Macron and his wife on Monday, the first lady made

a big impression in a little black dress, showing off her perfectly toned and tanned

legs.

According to The Daily Caller, the first lady dazzled in the black number that hit above

her knees as she stood next to Trump to greet Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.

She completed the gorgeous look with her hair down, a matching jacket, and black high heels.

Earlier in the day, the first lady shared a behind-the-scenes video of all the work

that she and her staff at the White House have undergone to put on the first state dinner.

"After months of preparations, President @realdonaldtrump and I are looking forward

to hosting our first State Dinner with France!

Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make this visit a success," the first

lady captioned her post.

Melania Trump is pure perfection.

We can't wait to see what she has in store for tonight's state dinner!

What will she wear?

Who did she invite?

This is better than anything that Michelle Obama ever did.

What do you think about this?

third day He rose. And on the third day He rose, for you and

I. Oh, for you and I.

>> Merry Christmas. We're looking today at the story of

Christmas. But you know what? It starts a long time before Jesus

came and was born and as we know was laid in a manger. Actually,

the story of Christmas is all about God's plan right from day

one, right from Genesis. So let's look at the picture the

God was painting right from the very beginning. In Genesis

chapter 3, we're familiar with the story. Mankind is tempted.

He falls. He gives in to the voice of the serpent disobeys

God. And this is what God speaks to the serpent, to the enemy, to

the one who's led man astray. He says, "I will put enmity between

you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He shall

bruise your head, and you will bruise His heel." See, right

from the beginning God said, I'm not gonna let things continue

the way they are. Though things looked dark in this moment,

though you have broken relationship with me. I'm gonna

restore this and I'm gonna do that by destroying the enemy

that led you astray. We see this promise repeated over and over

and over again every time that God establishes relationship and

covenant with His people. We see when God calls Abraham, He says

once again, I will bless you. I will bless the nations through

you and through that special seed that I am going to bring

through you. Again, fast-forward to the time of David and the

establishment of the monarchy in Israel. God says, David, there

will be a special descendant, a seed from your royal line that

will sit on your throne forever and He will make righteousness

the standard of the land. He will establish my laws. He will

destroy your enemies because I, this is what I want to do. I am

for you. I am not against you and I'm not gonna allow darkness

to rule the earth. But you know what? There were points in

Israel's history where it looks like evil was gonna win. It

looks like darkness was gonna established itself. But God in

the midst of those moments through the prophet speaks, and

what does He say? He says in Isaiah 9:2, "The people who

walked in darkness have seen a great light and those who dwell

in the land of deep darkness, on them the light has shone." And

then, just a little bit further it says, "A Child is born, a Son

is given. The government will be on His shoulder. And His name

will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His

government and peace, there will be no end. And on the throne of

David and over His kingdom to establish it and to uphold it

with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forever

more. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will do this." You see,

God was never content. He was never happy to just allow man to

stay on that state of sin and darkness, a state of oppression,

a state where their enemies would rule against them. He

said, no I will send a perfect child. This promised seed and He

will crush the very devil himself. He will crush the enemy

of Israel. He will establish a kingdom that is everlasting. The

kingdom of righteousness, peace forever more.

>> Man on the Street.

>> Today, we're on the street asking people, why is Christmas

so important? Why do we give at Christmas? What's the meaning of

Christmas? Let's go find out.

>> So what is the meaning of Christmas.

>> I think for me, it's all about family, just being

together with family, good food, good drink, and good

conversation, yeah.

>> The meaning of Christmas to me is getting the family

together. The biggest meaning.

>> I like giving back at Christmas.

>> What is the meaning of Christmas?

>> The birth of Christ.

>> I think the meaning of Christmas, it's just more than

the gift giving. I think it's bringing families together for

Catholics and other people. I'm a Catholic. So, it's celebrating

the birth of Christ.

>> So, what is the meaning of Christmas?

>> It's about family.

>> Giving back and...

>> Spending time with family.

>> Yeah.

>> The birth of Jesus.

>> Ah, being together with family and having fun with your

friends.

>> What is the meaning of Christmas?

>> Ah, giving.

>> Yeah, and spending time with family.

>> What is the meaning of Christmas?

>> Christ, Mass.

>> Nice.

>> The birth of Christ.

>> The baby's birth.

>> Perfect, okay.

>> Ah, the meaning of Christmas to me is family. Family and

friends.

>> So, why is Christmas so important?

>> It brings families together and hopefully brings all the

love out.

>> All we know it's supposed to be important because the baby

Jesus was born. That's why it's important.

>> I think it's important to get together with family and it's

not necessarily about gifts. But it's all getting together and

every Christmas that's what you do.

>> Why is Christmas so important?

>> I think it's important because it just create a lot of

memories from it and it's a spirit of giving and it brings

out the best in people every time Christmas rolls around.

It's certainly holy. I look forward to it the most.

>> So, why is Christmas so important?

>> I guess because it's a family time and also because we have a

son in Australia and we see him once a year. So he comes here

for Christmas and then we go there.

>> Why is Christmas so important?

>> Bringing closer together when you don't have that time to come

closer together like during the year you're busy I guess.

>> So, why is Christmas so important then?

>> Ah, it's that one-time of the year where you have to stop and

remember to spend time with people.

>> Ah, it's the time to reflect with family and friends, make

sure that people that don't have enough in the world, get enough

in the world.

>> And it's when you realized like the importance of giving,

like not getting.

>> So why is Christmas so important?

>> Ah, it's the one time of the year where we get together and

it's a requirement, you know. It's, you know, everyone gets

busy in their own lives. But everybody sets aside that time

to get together.

>> Ah, why is Christmas so important?

>> Because He is our Savior and for that we have eternal life.

He came here for us.

>> Nice.

>> If He wasn't born, He couldn't die. And if He didn't

die, then we won't be able to go to heaven be free of persons.

>> And it's important to celebrate His birthday every

year. It doesn't matter how many centuries had gone by.

>> Why do we give at Christmas? >> Ah, that's a good question. I

think, perhaps it's become a lot overblown in the past few years,

too commercialized. And speaking from our family, we've really

try to cut down because nobody needs anything. So that's why we

focus more on being together.

>> That's great.

>> Yeah.

>> Why do we give at Christmas? >> I give because it makes me

feel good.

>> That's what you're supposed to do at Christmas time. Yeah,

giving back is always good, right? It's better to give than

to receive. Yeah.

>> Because the spirit of Christmas is to give.

>> I think it's important to give at Christmas, just to

remind everybody that giving is an important aspect of human

nature, you know. If somebody needs to be picked up. It

doesn't have to be, you know, big, extravagant gifts. It can

just be them being, you know, in somebody else's presence and

just spending some time with them, is one of the most

important aspect of Christmas.

>> So then, why do we give at Christmas?

>> Why what?

>> Why do we give? Why do we give presents? Why do we give

something to other people?

>> To show affection to the other person I guess.

>> 'Cause it feels good.

>> Yeah, I agree. It feels good. >> I try to give things that

they would not normally buy for themselves. So I do put thought

into my gifts and it's not necessary monetary. I try to

spend less but make it more meaningful.

>> Yeah, I think it's a reflection of your love for

other people and try to find something that's important to

them and show them how much they mean to you.

>> Then why do we give at Christmas?

>> Ah, because it's better to receive that's for sure. I don't

know, in our family we like give as much as we can. We came from,

I came from a smaller background. I like to give as

much as I can and make sure that people out there have everything

that they need 'cause we all have a little bit too much and

excess.

>> Why do we give at Christmas? >> I think you should give all

year round personally. But at Christmas, I don't believe it's

retail. I believe it's more family and friends and that's

the important thing.

>> So, why do we give at Christmas?

>> Because the wise men brought gifts for Jesus and that's why,

it's His birthday party. So we can't give to Him, so we give to

each other and it's supposed to be in His honor.

>> Because Jesus shared His life with us, so we can share with

each other.

>> Since you mentioned the baby Jesus, approximately how old was

Jesus when the wise men came to visit Him?

>> Oh, almost right away, isn't it?

>> 10 hours.

>> Zero.

>> Approximately how old was the baby Jesus when the wise men

came to visit Him?

>> Just born.

>> Wasn't it He just born, the same night?

>> Just born.

>> No clue.

>> Wow. Let's see. Well, He was probably two weeks old.

>> Oh, I was gonna say a few hours old. I should know that. I

have no idea.

>> Three days.

>> Two days.

>> Oh, I don't know. I'm assuming probably about two

months old?

>> Approximately how old was the baby Jesus when the wise men

came to see Him?

>> I don't know. According to the show it was minutes. But

they were on camels so I don't think they moved that fast, so

it could have been days.

>> Couple hours, couple days.

>> I would say it would be days. At least three days.

♪ [Instrumental Music] ♪

>> A few moments ago, we heard Adam Vero quote many Old

Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah and this was

great news. But even so the son of David seemed to be slow in

His coming. Much time had passed since these prophetic words were

given, yet, He was nowhere in sight. Even the prophets had

been silent for about 400 years. Were they wrong? Was He not

coming? If Israel ever needed a Messiah, it was now. God's

chosen people were in desperate need of His intervention. Rome

was ruling with an iron fist. Jewish people lost land and

properties and were paying taxes not only to the temple but now

also to the Roman Emperor. What a great time for the Messiah to

come. Finally, He'd be able to right the wrongs and bring the

kingdom of heaven into an era of prosperity and rule that

everyone had dreamed about for centuries. But then, confusion.

The Messiah of the world born in a stable instead of a palace.

Wouldn't it make sense for the Messiah to have some connection

to Herod the current king of the Jews? Instead they claimed that

He's the son of a carpenter. That doesn't seem to fit. And

what about His message of peace? Peace is not the message they

need. Perhaps after Rome bows their knees and Israel becomes

the shining star they were always destined to be, but not

yet. Yet, this Jesus was saying things like love your enemies

plus those who persecute you and if a Roman soldier demands that

you carry his gear for one mile, carry it for two. That is hardly

the voice of Israel's deliverer. Even Moses had enough sense to

bring the Jewish people out from under their oppressors. Then

there were the signs and wonders. It would be hard to

argue with all the healings and deliverances. He even fulfilled

the four messianic prophecies. Surely the synagogue and temple

leaders would recognize and support the Messiah. Yet, they

say He has a devil. All of these things and more made it hard for

the people of Jesus day to believe in who He really was.

But then again, that's exactly what Isaiah the prophet said

would happened to Him. He was despised and rejected, a man of

sorrows. Here was God's own Son sent to earth to redeem mankind.

But so many of the ones He was sent to didn't recognize Him.

And in the end, they crucify the Son of Glory. Yet Jesus, despite

all opposition fulfilled every Bible prophecy. The angel said

it best when they declared who Jesus was to the shepherds in a

nearby field in Luke 2:10 says, "Fear not, for behold, I bring

you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior,

which is Christ the Lord." Though He may not have

overthrown Rome or looked the part the people thought He

would. Jesus was still the light that shine in the darkness. He

was the gift from the Father to all mankind. The Savior of the

world and the reason that we celebrate Christmas.

>> Baby boy in Bethlehem. He grew up to be a man. Faced the

giants of the land. Moved the mountains by His hand. Oh, what

giants of the land. Moved the mountains by His hand. Oh, what

we could never know. The birth of one unknown would be a

victory. Jesus, Jesus, wonder of a man. Oh Savior, Savior. You

were God's one plan. All of heaven rings out, we had been

set free. Let your people sing, we believe. On the cross you

set free. Let your people sing, we believe. On the cross you

bled for us. Darken skies now turn to dusk. Mourning clouded

those you chose and yet the grave was empty, You arose. Oh,

what we could never know. The birth of one unknown would be a

victory. Singing Jesus, Jesus, wonder of a man. Oh Savior,

Savior. You were God's one plan. All of heaven rings out, we had

been set free. Let your people sing. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.

been set free. Let your people sing. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Jesus, Jesus, wonder of a man. Oh Savior, Savior. You were

God's one plan. All of heaven rings out, we had been set free.

And on this Christmas day, we believe.

>> At Christmas we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus

Christ. The light of the world, the Son of God. And it is

probably one of the most famous Bible stories of all time, being

repeated year after year in the nativity scenes all across the

world each Christmas. Church Christmas pageant reenacting the

miraculous birth of the baby Jesus. And what a glorious birth

it was, God Himself being born into the world that He created.

Taking on the image and form of a man, God in the flesh. It was

part of His plan from the beginning of time when Adam and

Even sin in the garden and separated mankind from God. He

took on the form of a human to reconcile all of humanity back

to God, the Father. He took on our emotions, our weaknesses,

and our sin so that we may be made right with God. He laid His

life down as a living sacrifice. What a Savior. The prophet

Isaiah said, for unto us a child is born. His government and its

peace will never end. He will rule for all eternity. Although

Jesus died over 2,000 years ago, He was raise from the dead and

He's seated on the throne. He is ruling and reigning and the

evidence of His rulership is His peace. It may not look like

Jesus is ruling with all the chaos and confusion going on in

the world today. But He is establishing His kingdom and

making it manifest in the hearts of those who believed. John

14:27, "Jesus said, I leave you with a gift, peace of mind and

heart. And this peace that I give you, the world cannot give

you. So do not be troubled or afraid." The world that calmly

pursues a life of passions, fame, and wealth. The things

that people think will give them the desires of their hearts. But

the true thing is, the only thing that will satisfy the

desires of our heart, the deep longing of our hearts is this

peace that Jesus gives to us knowing that He's reconciled us

back to the Father. He took on all of our debts and all of our

sins, and was crucified on the cross. What a beautiful Savior

He is. Colossians 3:15 says, "Let the peace that comes from

Christ rule in your hearts." The problem is, there's so many

things that are containing for the throne of our hearts.

Whether it be pleasures, fame, or wealth. These things can

hinder us from recognizing who Jesus really is. We must put Him

in His rightful place on the throne of our hearts and let His

peace rule our hearts. No matter what it looks like, what

difficulty or things that you might be struggling with or

going through, Jesus peace is there for us. Whoever believes

in Him, He will give you His peace. He's the ever-present

help in time of need. All you have to do is cry out to Him and

He will hear your cry. As you celebrate Christmas this year, I

pray that you would not only celebrate the birth of our

Messiah in a manger. But you would experience the love, joy,

and peace that only our Savior can give us. And this is the

evidence of His rulership in our lives.

>> For unto us a child is born. God so loved the world that He

gave His Son. The Word made flesh to conquer death. His name

is Jesus. Perfect love, Prince of Peace. Light of the world

everlasting King. The chosen One, to overcome, Jesus. Oh, how

beautiful. Oh, how glorious. Emmanuel, God is with us. Can

you hear the angels sing. All glory unto the king. Exalted in

the highest, Jesus. It's Christmas time, do people know.

the highest, Jesus. It's Christmas time, do people know.

That Jesus Christ is not a baby boy. He died and rose from the

grave, to rescue and save, all of those who were believing His

name. Oh, how beautiful. Oh, how glorious. Emmanuel, God is with

us. Can you hear the angel sing. All the glory unto the King.

Exalted in the highest. And know how the prophesy foretold. That

a little child would be born in Bethlehem. The Savior of all

men. Oh, and how he gave His life away to glorify His

Father's name. Let the earth rejoice in Him.

>>ANNOUNCER: The Christmas season is a special time of the

year. It is the time of giving. God gave us the greatest gift of

all when He send His Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby and

eventually would die for our sin. So that He can be the

Savior of the world. If you would like to receive Jesus as

your Lord and Savior please pray with me. Lord Jesus, I realize

that I'm in need of a Savior. I believe in You and I believe

that You have died on the cross for me. Jesus, would you come

into my heart right now to be my Lord and to be my Savior from

this day forward. In Your precious name. Amen.

>>SHAON: Wasn't that a phenomenal episode? I hope that

that brought clarity as to why we celebrate and the true

meaning of Christmas. Let's pray. Dear Jesus, I pray that as

we go into this holiday season with our friends and family.

That we would be a light to them. That we would be able to

reveal to them as well the true meaning of Christmas and why we

are celebrating. From all of us here at FAITH ALIVE SHOW, we

wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

See you next time.

>> God will rescue, recover, and restore.

Create a Step Counter Fitness App for Android with Kotlin - Duration: 8:16.

We continue with the discovering of Kotlin by creating a Step Counter Fitness App for Android

The User Interface is quite simple with two TextView

Next step is to use constraints to place our TextViews on our ConstraintLayout

Now, it's time to write the Kotlin Code of the application

We define a running property indicating if the application is running and a property for the SensorManager instance

Then, we implement the SensorEventListener interface to be notified of the new values of step counter sensor

We get an instance of the SensorManager

We try to get the Step Counter Sensor from the SensorManager instance

If there is no Step Counter Sensor on the device, we display a Toast to the user

Otherwise, we register our activity to receive the updates for the value of the step counter sensor

In the onPause callback, we don't forget to unregister the SensorEventListener

In the onSensorChanged callback, we update the value of the TextView displaying the number of steps

It's time to try our Step Counter Fitness App made in Kotlin

Obviously, there is no step counter sensor on the Emulator but the application will work on your real device ;)

In the Android Manifest of our application, we define that the application needs a step counter and a step detector to work correctly
