THE WONDER

Good Morning!

I pray all is going well with you this morning –

Do you believe it is December 24^th ?

It is not the ‘night before Christmas’ as the famous old poem notes, 

But, it is the morning before Christmas –

The little ones are waking up with anticipation – one more day until Christmas!

The ‘big’ ones are waking up with trepidation – still a few more gifts to get & planning to do

The season continues to awaken the feelings of awe & wonder

CHRISTMAS EVE is here!

 

It truly is a WONDER-FILLED time of year

A time of year where we can and should focus on the overwhelming LOVE OF GOD

But this takes effort – especially in a year like 2020

There are so many distractions & things that try to steal the wonder of this season:

Perhaps you have some errands to run this morning –

Perhaps Christmas is not looking quite the way you would have imagined or desired

Perhaps you are feeling a bit underwhelmed due to challenges and loss

            I know it is difficult

This is my first Christmas without my mom, where I will not get to see her sweet face on Christmas day – the very first time in forty-nine years

But I know, she is having a glorious time in heaven this Christmas

My circumstances do not define His nature or character

 

‘Who is like You, O LORD …

majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?’

Exodus 15:11

Know this today –

The Wonderful Counselor is still very much in the business of working WONDERS

May the God of all peace guard your hearts and minds this Christmas Eve

I pray you will stay safe and that joy will abound!

 

Have a Blessed Day

     Wishing You Much Love!

‘Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is  right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things’ 

Philippians 4:8
