Christmas Day 2020


Merry Christmas Friends,


                                                                

This fourth week of Advent, which started last Sunday and is to end today – Christmas, is lighting the candle of Love.  We marvel at God’s great love for us, that He sent a Savior in the form of a baby in a manger.  The white candle, which is to be lit on Christmas Day, represents light and purity and is called “Christ’s Candle”

    "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?  For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1 & 2

    “When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.  And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.  And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2: 10 & 11

This is God’s message of Love to us.  

I am wishing you all a day of love as we celebrate God’s gift of love to us – Jesus, who is Christ the Lord!

There is no greater gift.  I pray we can share that gift of His Love with others, especially our family and friends. 

    “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His                      shoulder.  And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting                          Father,  Prince of Peace.”    Isaiah 9:6 NKJV

Christmas Blessings,

    ❤️ Sharon

Spiritual Discernment

Image
I have been thinking about discernment lately. The dictionary defines discernment as  “The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment” With the amount of information that has been given to us the past 2-3 months on the Corona Virus, discernment has been increasingly important.       “Is the virus real?”       “Who is at risk?  Am I at risk?”       “Should we stay home?”  “Is it OK to go grocery shopping?”       “Should we wear masks?”       “Is it all a conspiracy to control us?” All of these questions and concerns have come at us from TV and newspaper, social media and friends.  I have gone from feeling fear to having faith, from extreme concern to throwing caution to the wind, from anxiety to confidence.   All ‘feelings’.  After praying and reading the word, I am able to put those feelings...

Joy of the Lord

                                                                                  Joy:  a noun or a verb.  As I looked up the word in Vine’s Expository of Biblical Words, there was a long definition including joyfulness, joyfully and joyous.  I was looking for a simple definition. “The joy of the Lord” has been resonating in my spirit. A portion of Nehemiah 8:10 says “… Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength !” In my regular dictionary, the definitions of joy are: “a deep feeling or condition of happiness or contentment.  An outward show of pleasure or delight, rejoicing.” These are the words I think about in reference to my relationship with our Lord.  Sometimes I am “excited and rejoicing” b...

Hope

Good Friday Morning, I have no idea how many weeks we are into this stay at home order.  I do know it seems a very long time! Today I want to talk some about  HOPE .   “ Hope  deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life”  Proverbs 13:12 Amp Deferred means postponed or delayed.  What this says is what we hope for is not gone forever but “delayed”.  According to Jamison-Taussett-Brown Bible commentary :  When the desire comes or is fulfilled it is “realized".  The tree of life is "cause for happiness”. I liked these short explanations because I can apply it easily to our current situation.  We are all hoping the Pandemic stay home order ends soon  When our desire for it to end comes about, it will be a cause for happiness. The problem is the delay.  We do not know exactly when we will meet together again.  But… our God knows. ...
