My Heavenly Father
As the days draw near to the
Glorious time of Your birth
I find myself in awe, tears
Swelling within my eyes.
You came to earth to teach us
Knowing we were ignorant of your ways
You came for the sinner so that we might
Follow your teachings, to learn to walk
The narrow path of life.... avoiding the
Wide path that leads to sin and destruction.
You taught us to pray, to seek You in
The Holy places where you walked
Knowing that temptation lurked in the
Dark places of our existence.
You gave us free will, to do as we thought
Prayerfully hoping we would make good choices
You gave us repentance so You could forgive
Us when our choices did not meet Your expectations.
You imparted your Holy words for us to read
Leading us to eternal life if we but followed
Your examples. Thank you Lord, for your sacrifice
So that we may dwell with you one day in Paradise.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Psalms 119.105

The Holy places where you walked
Knowing that temptation lurked in the
Dark places of our existence.
Coincidentally, I am currently reading a book about Mother Teresa which is all about prayer. Thank you for sharing this offering of faith, Joy. Love, peace, and blessings to you,

You brought beautiful thoughts to mind and a BIG reason for all of us to be thankful.
All too often we take the Bible for granted.
It's Gods Holy Word; it's His LOVE letter to us and for us.
Man complains that it's in almost every hotel room and Biblical scripture is all over our historical documents. God let that happen.
What if God never gave us His Word to read? What if all we had were stories passed down through the generations to hear from our elders?
So we should treasure His Love Letter and protect it like no other.
Thank you Jesus for providing us with your Word.
Thank You Jesus for Godly friends who stand behind Your Word.
They bring us GREAT JOY!
Thank you JOY!
Much peace, love and Christmas blessing to you and yours!
Your Eternal Friend in Christ,
John Michael
Love ya!
