Book Cover & Preview Text
“For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 “Today people everywhere are gathering together to celebrate the first bright moments of the New Year. will serve only as a dim reminder of loneliness and loss. It will simply mark the beginning of another year of failure.” That is a quotation from the Devotional Book entitled “Faith to Faith” A Daily Guide to Victory written by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. It is an excellent book, I highly recommend you purchase a copy and read it every day of the year. You can inquire at the TCC Office for more information about it if you are interested. The devotional continues to comment about the fact that many people “put on a happy face while “inside” they are carrying a heavy load---the load could be “guilt” or it could be “sorrow” caused by various things that happened throughout the past year. People, who read Grandmas Gleanings, have been told about the “Good News” of the Gospel. We have shared that the news is GOOD because the TRUTH, which is the Word, goes to the SOURCE of any problem someone might encounter. When you have a need, a good question to ask yourself is: What is my relationship to the God Who created me? (He is the God of the Bible.) If you have not heard the message of “what is a relationship with Jesus?” The answer is: “It begins with the words you speak”: Romans 10: 9 tells us: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” The way to receive Eternal Life is not difficult---all it takes is a yielded heart; Jesus has paid the price for eternal life for you. When you choose to say yes to His invitation, you will find a new peace enters your life. You will agree with the hymn writer who wrote: What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought, Since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I have sought Since Jesus came into my heart! I have ceased from my wandering and going astray, And my sins which were many are all washed away, Joy floods over my soul like the sea billows roll, SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART!! That is an old song but the message is true. Someone once said: “My soul is restless until I find REST in Jesus.” If you have never given your life to the Lord—start this brand New Year, right---turn the reigns of your life over to Him. You will never regret it. The result of that decision will be: THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH!!

About the Book
Grandma’s Gleanings are the result of many years of journaling done by Joyce Pomp during her “quiet time” with the Lord. She is a pastor’s wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. The devotionals are saturated with God’s Word; they are also intended to bring you into a special relationship with our Father God, not a “plastic, must-do” religious activity. Grandma Joyce was encouraged to compile her writings into a yearly devotion book. Individuals who have had the opportunity to read Gleanings have told her how the true anecdotes/incidents have touched a specific need in their life as they read an entry for the day. Come to know God loves you. Come to know true joy in your life. Know that God still performs miracles today. Be assured: The joy of the Lord is your strength. You will be challenged. You will be blessed.
About the Author
Joyce H. Pomp was married to Pastor Jerold Pomp, who went to heaven in 2004. We served churches for over twenty-five years and then continued to counsel and teach in the church we attended. I continue to counsel, teach, and make hospital calls.
My desire is to serve the one who is my Savior and Lord. Because of that relationship, I believe I can be a blessing to people whose lives I touch.
I live in Tenstrike, Minnesota. I am truly blessed to have all of my five children and their families living very close. Along with my relationship with Jesus, I am thankful for each of my children, their spouses, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren the Lord has blessed me with. Also, the numerous friendships I have made throughout the years won't be forgotten. Each life that touched mine has planted a living seed.
