Good Morning and Merry Christmas Eve.... Up late last night... Headed into the shower... More to come...
I have carefully selected the following quotes & memes as having deep meaning for me, some serious and some fun...and I hope for you as well:
“Festival Day!” Why Not?
1) "I have always thought of Christmas time... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time." - Charles Dickens
2) "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." - Norman Vincent Peale
3) "I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
4) "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." - Calvin Coolidge
5) "A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year. These make a Merry Christmas!" - John Greenleaf Whittier
-------------------------------- "The time draws near the birth of Christ; ------------------------------
------------------------------------- The moon is hid; the night is still; ----------------------------------
------------------------------------ The Christmas bells from hill to hill ----------------------------------
--------------------------------------- Answer each other in the mist. -----------------------------------
-------------------------------------------- Alfred Lord Tennyson ------------------------------------------

I expect you appreciate the winter celebration of Christmas and the exchanging of gifts. Hopefully you are aware that the gifts of the wisemen to the toddler Jesus in Bethlehem is the basis for exchanging of gifts at Christmas time. ‘When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.’ [Matthew 2:10-11 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see)'
LORD I lift the homeless individuals and families to YOU on this Christmas Day. I pray that YOU protect each homeless individual and family – especially the children. I pray that YOU motivate good Samaritans to bless the homeless with shelter and food – especially in the cold areas of this nation. ‘And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.’ [Luke 2:6-7 ESV]
I pray for each adopted son and daughter of YOURS this early Christmas morning. Do what is necessary for each of us to remember that our eternal salvation is based solely on the atonement of the sinless Word of God made flesh born in Bethlehem as the Christ child. ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.’ [John 1:14 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Thursday Christmas Eve night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Christmas morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse.
It is no coincidence that our festivals at this time of year have to do with lighting candles or other forms of standing against the darkness of this season. It is a time to find joy, to share goodwill, to reach out to others with kindness and love. Regardless of your traditions find a way to share some holiday spirit with others less fortunate. Reach out to old friends; remember those who have gone ahead or are ill in your prayers. In short, be an example of all that is good in the world.
