Well Hello December!!

It’s nice to see you again :)

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year…

Our Savior, redeemer.. hope…. and very best friend is about to make His appearance…

Our peace is in His humble birth…

When I picture  Jesus’ tiny little body all wrapped in blankets, and  laying in the straw… His mom and dad so lovingly adoring His tiny preciousness…

For a moment the world stands still…

My spirit is filled with the warmth of God’s  sweet tenderness…

So very peaceful…

So very powerful…

Oh Father,

How exciting it is to think of the blessings You have bestowed on our sin stained hearts…

With the very first breath of Jesus…. You called our names…

Thank You.

Thank You for showing us what our lives are about…

Not money.

Not possessions…

Not wealth or success…

Our lives are all about You…

Your love…

Your goodness, gentleness, and amazing forgiveness…

When You bestowed grace upon my broken heart, My life began to make sense..

So much love …

So  many tears…

It wasn’t about my failures or fears anymore…

I felt love…

Today, and the month of December, I hope to help us see the glorious life God has shown us…

Let’s put ourselves in Mary’s dress…

Let’s  listen with her as the angel, Gabriel,  touches her, and gives her the most amazing news she could ever imagine…

“In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to e married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David.

The virgin’s name was Mary.  The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly  favored!

The Lord is with you…”

Mary was deeply troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.  But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary you have found favor with God.

You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.”

Luke 1: 26-31

Father, as we enter this Holiday season, it is my prayer to keep my eyes securely fixed on all the beauty of love…

All the beauty of goodness…

I pray I will slow down.. be aware…  and love others with my words, a smile, and attention…

May our  hearts and days reflect Your love.. grace and humility as we enter December with gratitude and joy…

Thank You for Your favor being poured over our lives…

Help us to accept such a marvelous gift…Remembering that YOUR presence… is the very best present we can share with one another..

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
