Good Morning!
I pray all is going well with you this morning –
Do you believe it is
December 24th ?
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
