ISAIAH 9:6

Happy Birthday Jesus!!! And Merry Christmas to everyone!! Today marks another celebratory day to remember the birth of our Savior! Today after breakfast...we will light the Christ candle in our advent wreath...For me...this Christmas....the birth of Christ is significant for all the things in the verse above....but the word that comes to mind....that stands out above all the other words....is the  word...PEACE....Jesus is the Prince of Peace....I said a prayer and asked God to really help me to understand and to see what this peace looks like...in a new and different way...If my Savior is the Prince of Peace....hey....this is what I want....more of....And I think as we serve in our home, in our churches, on the mission field, on mission’s trips...we need the peace of God to sustain us...

May I pray? Father in heaven....Happy Birthday!! Thank you for coming down from the gloriousness of heaven into the confines of a human baby...for us...to save us from ourselves...from our sin...I ask that you will put a hedge of protection over each one of us in your name...Jesus....and give us the peace that passeth all understanding...Help us this 2013 to serve you in the capacity that you would have us serve, and equip us to serve in a way that brings you glory and honor! And...as we serve...help us to exude your peace... and your love....give us your peace and love, and fill us up, so we can fill others up! In Jesus name...Amen.
