Tis...that...time of year
when thoughts...
turn to Celestial...things
when...amid visions of centuries past
Hope is gathered and...rings!
Tis that time of year
when hearts...
ensue a glance of imperishable...gates
with the reminders of a Silent Night
so received...with gratitude...sate!
Tis when...
the Joy and anticipation of celebrating
a prophesied birth...
touches here and there...
and begins to seep throughout the earth
When Peace...
like a warm blanket...
is a 'Presence' that surely can be felt
drawing those so far away...near
recalling...shepherds and kings that knelt!
Tis...
when the Love which gives the reason
to embrace the marvelous season...glares
and is acknowledged...miraculously
...filling...the air!
Yes! indeed, it is here...
Tis...that...Wondrous Time...of year!
ISAIAH 7:14 & 9:6

God gives us the power through His Holy Spirit to live free from the entanglement of sin. He gives us the power to live strong. He gives wisdom and discernment to make the right choices. He gives joy deep inside. He offers the assurance, that no matter what we face, He is with us.
May His grace, peace, and joy cover your day. He is with you.
Prayer:
Dear God, at the start of each day, help us to recognize you above all else. Enlighten the eyes of our heart that we might see you, and notice how you're at work through our lives. Give us wisdom to make the best choices, fill us with a desire to seek after you more than anything else in this world. Let your Spirit and power breathe in us, through us, again, fresh and new. Thank you that you are greater than anything we may face in our day. Thank you that your presence goes with us, and that your joy is never dependent on our circumstances, but it is our true and lasting strength, no matter what we're up against. We ask that your peace lead us, that it would guard our hearts and minds in you. We ask for your grace to cover our lives this day. We love you Lord...we need you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
