On a Daily basis..... Life can get pretty harsh....
-We can’t see....... exactly where we’re going;
-We face formidable obstacles in all facets of Life!
But just as the star shone down over Bethlehem that night, a 'Beacon of Hope' shines over our own lives..... especially Today, Christmas.
It's all because of the Baby in the manger.
With the birth of Jesus came the promise that:
* God is 'with us',
* ......for us,
* ......willing to do whatever it takes 'to save' us.
If we could (with all due respect), condense all the 'Truths of Christmas' into only three words........these I would consider to be the words:
“God with us.”
We tend to focus our attention at Christmas ONLY on the 'Infancy of Christ'.
The Greater Truth rather is: His' Deity, -that is more astonishing than only a 'baby in a manger' ,because......
We are offered Abundant Hope in Jesus Christ; -as THIS Promised baby, IS the Omnipotent Omnipresent Creator of the Heavens and the Earth!
So......! No matter what happens around us......
We DO have the comfort of the Angels proclaiming:
“Peace on earth and Good will toward men.”
....and 'The Knowledge' :
God is STILL in Control, despite our 'whatever' circumstances !
What about YOU.... ?
- Remembering that the best things in Life aren't things.
- Giving and Receiving the 'warm feelings' and Acts of Kindness, Love,
- Taking some time with your Family and Friends and 'Share your
- Being around laughter and Good Food, that is also.... Healing!
- Not allowing 'excuses' (i.e., family grudges; my house needs this or that.....; I need ......; I don't have enough ......;) to
How do I wish......... I could have spent time with YOU ....This Christmas!
Shalom
Blessed Christmas

Wish I could have spent Christmas with you, too... But thanks to Moose Chronicles, I did. You are always in my thoughts and my heart. I am so proud of you, staying positive and True in spite of life which has a crazy habit of happening while you're busy planning other things. DT
