Christmas and All Year Through…

Numbers 6:23-26 “The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.”

When I was making my list and checking it twice (yes, this is Santa’s job and yes, I substitute for him sometimes), I knew there was not a gift I could buy or make that would qualify for “Best Christmas Gift Ever”. 

“If you want the BEST GIFT”,  the Holy Spirit whispered, “There is a gift you can pray over them. It comes from God Himself  (Numbers 6:22) sent to all those He loves and calls to be His people (can we say EVERYONE… He does not wish for ANY TO PERISH).”

I know there are those out there who do not want any religious stuff for Christmas (I was told!). To those people I just want to say, “I love you to the moon and back! So I will pray, NOT from a religious spirit, but from my heart that cries out to the only True God who lives (Immanuel – God with Us) within me.”

Just for disclosure purposes, I did check His naughty and nice list, but discovered that there would be no coal in any stockings this year. John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Those of us on the naughty list, and those of us who strive to be on the nice list, need Him without question… pressed down, shaken, full and overflowing!

And so I lift up holy hands and pray…

Christmas and All year Through…

The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and to all A GOOD NIGHT every night!
