We have reached the portion of Christmas, when everything inside me feels the import, impact, impossible magic of Christmas. Something I enjoy so much, and would want the entire world to enjoy Christmas. When our eldest son was born early, we learned that Christmas morning, he would live. The entire hospital became empty. And the hospital staff said some Christmas mornings do this. The parking lot was almost empty. In a major American city, this is tremendous.

Christmas is a renewal. The joy looming of a New, Brand New Year.

Once again, the Almighty looks upon His Good Creation, and invites us to appreciate His Only Son. Tender and angelic, Savior of the world. An infant. Fragile as all of humanity. We are given His Blessing to Love His Son. 

Job 33:4

The Spirit of God 

has made me, 

and the breath of the Almighty

 gives me life.

Luke 2:14

Glory to God in the highest,

    and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!

Luke 24:32

And they said to one another, 

"Was not our heart burning within us 

as He was speaking with us 

on the road, 

as He was opening the Scriptures

 to us?"

Notre Dame

Acts 2:2

Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind

 came from heaven 

and 

filled the whole House where they were sitting.

John 3:8

The wind blows where it wishes, 

and you hear its sound

But you do not know where it comes from 

or where it goes. 

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit!

Romans 8:14

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Psalm 135:7

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

2 Peter 1:21

For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:25

Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.

Psalm 66 ~ Shout for joy to GOD

Psalm 66

 Shout for joy to God, 

all the earth;

sing the glory of His Name 

    Give to Him glorious praise!

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds!

    So great is Your power that Your enemies come cringing to you.

All the earth worships you

    and sings praises to you;

    they sing praises to Your Name.” 

Selah

Come and see what God has done

    He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man.

6 He turned the sea into dry land;

    they passed through the river on foot.

There did we rejoice in Him,

Who rules by His might forever,

whose eyes keep watch on the nations—

    let not the rebellious exalt themselves. 

Selah

Bless our God, O peoples;

    let the sound of His praise be heard

Who has kept our soul among the living

    and has not let our feet slip.

For you, O God, have tested us;

    You have tried us as silver is tried.

You brought us into the net;

    You laid a crushing burden on our backs;

You let men ride over our heads;

    we went through fire and through water;

Yet 

You have brought us out to a place of abundance.

I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

    I will perform my vows to you,

that which my lips uttered

    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. 

Selah

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,

    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth,

    and high praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

    the Lord would not have listened.

 But truly God has listened;

    He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

 Blessed be God,

    because 

He has not rejected my prayer

    or 

removed His Steadfast Love 

from me!

Luke 1:77-78

To Give knowledge of salvation 

to His people

    in the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy 

of our God,

    whereby the Sunrise shall visit us from on high

to give light to those who sit in darkness 

and 

in the shadow of death,

    to guide our feet

 into 

the way of peace.

Abba, Father!

Merry Christmas!

WE PRAY 

BLESSINGS 

We are saved by grace through faith. 

And this is not our own doing; it is Your gift of God.

The safety 

of Your people.

The safety 

of those

helping the earth 

to heal.

The Lord Bless you 

and keep you;

The Lord make His Face to shine upon you 

and 

be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His Countenance upon you 

and 

give you peace.

“So shall they put 

My Name 

upon the people of Israel, 

and I will bless them.”
