Just thinkin, while drinkin my coffee today. Thankin God. Lovin this thought. When stresses suddenly creep into your day; My mother used to say,

“What’s God trying to teach you in this?”

Put it all into the Lords hands … and have peace. He’ll work it all out.

She also used to say, Nothins worth a nervous breakdown!

An angel of the Lord spoke to the shepards in the field ”Do not be afraid, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be for all people.  For there is born to you on this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manager”.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward man!” Luke 2:10-14

Christmas is a very loving and caring time; but also can be stressful and tiring.  We can let the seasons hustle and bustle get to us.   Gods’ love and grace friend, is greater than all the stresses that come our way.  We are thankful that God poured His grace out to us through the birth of Jesus Christ His Son.  His arms are always wide open for us like a fluffy blanket. We feel the warmth of His love like no other.   What a wonderful thing it is that we can trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for everything since He took all of our sins upon himself and loved us all the way to the cross.

–

We can keep our focus on the birth of Christ “The Light of the World, our Prince of Peace” to fill us with His Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

“Be careful for nothing, but in every thing in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus”  Phil 4:6-7

How wonderful it is to be filled with His unwavering perfect love. His way and not our own.  Lord help us to obey you in every situation; and to display Your love and Your grace; one to another always. This kind of attitude requires the steadfast diligence of praying without ceasing.  Reading the word of God each day.  We rely on Holy Spirit to reveal His word and bear witness to our spirit. Holy Spirit touch our very heart.  When we call upon Jesus name, we feel His peace and His presence.  A friend once told me, “His voice is a still small voice”. That still small voice leads us in the way of Christ our Savior.  This is what I want for Christmas; the fruits of Holy Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. They’re ours, just for the asking.  A simple and humble prayer  “Jesus I need You”.

–

At this time of year we can let the love of God’s grace pour through us to others who are having difficulty due to the stress of the season.  Reach out and touch someone with His grace today. Let us put Gods eyes, ears and heart on.  Let us be full of His mercy, benevolence and love.  Let Your love Father God be  strewn in the path of every weary traveler that we see along the way.

–

We thank you Lord for each moment of this joyous season to celebrate Your precious birth.

Have a wondrous and peace filled Christmas season,

Have a great and grace-filled day friend,

You are so loved

Merry Christmas family and friends,

It’s Christmas! Lots of cookin; its warmth and aroma fill up the house when coming in from the cold. Our hearts are also warmed by the birth of our Saviour; who was destined to die for our redemption. It’s a time of giving. God gave to us His only Son; so that we would not perish but have everlasting life through Him. He came to save us from our sins. A humble birth, yet the most important birth and gift ever!

–

As the most sovereign story unfolded; the voice of God spoke to Mary and Joseph; telling them that Mary would bear “The Saviour Jesus”.  Jesus will be conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Mary sang a song of glorification to God.  Her spirit rejoiced in God sending the Messiah. She was a very humble person.

–

Christ’s birth was proclaimed by angels singing in the heavens, the three wise men following the star in the sky from the east.  Shepards heard the angels singing “Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and goodwill toward men”.  They left their sheep to find the baby Jesus in humble obedience.  Jesus was the one who came to take away the sins of the world.  People heard His voice from near and far being touched by Him; saved by Him, healed by Him as they knelt and worshiped Him.  Wise men and women still seek Him; our Glorious Saviour today.

–

His tiny stable has a big space for all of mankind.  He stirs our hearts to open up to Him; so that He can come in and give to us eternal life with Him.  Oh the Mighty deeds that He has done. He lived His Life to die for us and He lives in our hearts each day. He fills our hungry soul with good things.

–

Each new day, we pray to be humble so that we can hear His tender voice.  Lord Jesus, we give you the space, in every corner of our heart.  We feel Your healing salve.  You are our “Wonderful mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of peace our Savior”.

–

The Christmas story, let us open our hearts to Jesus Christ our Saviour today

–

Merry Christmas friend. Love and warmth through Christ our Lord this Christmas season and always.

You are so loved
