Do You Have Your Sacred Gifts

Of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh?

Blessings to you as we approach Christmas and commemorate the birth of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ.  In this final week of Advent, the theme is peace.  While we press on into the final days of gift buying, gift wrapping, last minute Christmas cards, food preparation, and all the other things we do to prepare for the holiday keep His peace in your heart.   Hold in your heart  (and it is always a heart issue) the true reason for this “Holyday.”

Walk in His Joy

Minute by Minute!

Here we are in the third week of Advent already!  I pray that amidst the preparations for Christmas you are staying focused on the real ‘reason for the season.’  May this phrase never become a cliché that is spoken in haste without a real understanding and depth of awareness of Jesus Christ this season and always.  May He reign in your heart and bring immeasurable joy minute by minute into your life.

Joy is the focus of this third week of Advent.    Joy is a feeling of great happiness.  Joy is exhilarating.  Joy … Read the rest

The Love of Jesus

Is Greater Than Anything on Earth!

“Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ The King!”  This second week of Advent is saturated with love.  It is the love that Jesus has for you every moment of your life. It is the love that brought Him to this earth in a lowly manger.  It is the love that took Him to the cross to die for you. It is the love that will bring Him back to earth again. It is the love that has prepared many mansions in heaven for those who love Him.  This is … Read the rest

Start Your Advent Journey 

Toward Hope, Love, Joy and Peace!

This week marks the beginning of the Advent season.  Advent is derived from the Latin word adventus which means coming. These next weeks are spent in anticipation of the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.  As Christians we also wait with hope and anticipation for the second coming of Jesus to earth.  As we await Christmas and His second coming we have an opportunity to ‘start again’ as His mercies are new every morning.

His Peace is Not as the World Gives

It is Sacred for You Alone

As we enter the second week of Advent, let His peace reign in your heart (for it is always a heart issue).  Each week of Advent is marked by a concept to focus on during the week.  The first week is Hope.  Last week we discussed how to keep Jesus the center of your life despite what is going on around you.  He is your hope.  This week, we seek His peace.

The Love of Advent is

Jesus Christ!

 This final week of Advent is represented by love.  The most unconditional, never failing, always present love of Jesus Christ for you blankets not only this week but each and every day of the year. His is such an all-encompassing love that you cannot even understand the height, depth or width of the Savior’s love for you.  It goes beyond the ends of the earth.  It is eternal.

Think about that for a minute.  Let it sink deep into your heart.  It does not matter what is going on around you at this … Read the rest

Jesus –Others–Yourself

We are quickly approaching Christmas as we enter this third week of Advent.  For many tension rises and anxiety spikes as you search for the perfect gift for everyone, plan your holiday meals and so much more.  It can be exhausting just thinking about all that is yet to be accomplished.  In the hurriedness of this season do not let go of the real reason we are celebrating.

Jesus Christ is God’s most extravagant gift to all who will receive Him.  He is ‘the reason for the season.’   Keep that in the … Read the rest

Hold Onto the Prince of Peace Evermore

I wish you a most blessed second week of Advent!  Praying you are successful in ‘being the peace’ in your world.  It is not always easy but with intention you can live in the peace Jesus died to give you.  Live with purpose seeking first the Kingdom of God and all will be added unto you.  Keep His peace in your heart (for it is always a heart issue) throughout the year and it will emanate to those around you.

What is Your Hope?
