Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. (Matthew 13:16)
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. Isn’t it great to know that God knows all the details of our lives and knows what’s best for us? Sometimes he simply says, rest my child. Sometimes he will say go this way and you just happen to run into a long-lost friend. I am thankful that we walk with a God that knows all the details of our lives. He gives us ears to hear him and gives us eyes to see him working every day.
My daughter made me some new ornaments this year. Peace, joy, hope, love, faith and believe. How I wish I could send a set to all of you. They are beautiful.
Here’s a prayer I penned a few years ago. Let it be our hearts desire.
Oh God, that love would abound in the hearts of people. That no child would be forgotten. That no person would go hungry. That hearts would heal from the pain of brokenness. That kindness would be sprinkled everywhere. That the gifts given in love would be just right. That forgiveness would be present. That our hearts would be tenderized by the magic of the season all year long. That addictions would be broken. That life would be good for everyone. That’s my prayer for Christmas. Let it begin with you and with me. Together, let’s celebrate the gift of Christmas, Christ Jesus. He is the whole reason for this season.
Father, thank you for journeying life with us. Thank you for family, friends and the moments we share. May this Christmas bring peace, joy, hope and may love abound. May the birth of Jesus be celebrated in the hearts of man, all across this globe, we pray as they believe.
Father, may our gift to you, oh God, to be vessels to share the good news of salvation. The best gift ever given, Jesus. He can’t be bought with money, doesn’t like to be put in a box, and doesn’t hide behind the tree. He dwells within the heart of man. Oh, that many will accept salvation and find the true meaning of Christmas, that’s my greatest prayer. Amen.
Oh, how I love the Christ of Christmas!
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
