The peace that blanketed the room was overwhelming. As I sat in the sparkling glow of lights and took in the scent of Pine from a freshly cut Christmas Tree my heart leaped with calmness. Below in Winnie the Pooh, Dog and Teddy Bear sleeping bags peacefully slept my daughter, nieces and nephew. With Christmas Music playing softly in the background I sunk down into the rocking chair at the corner of the room, closed my eyes and breathed in the peace and stillness of that moment. Through the chaos lately its been often hard to just sit and be thankful in the beauty of what Christmas means but last night in the few moments of unexpected down time I was taken captive by the strong and loving arms of Jesus and reminded of the blessings and joy of Christmas. If I could have stopped the clocks I would have and wanted nothing more than to inhale the fragrance of each memories sweet aroma and put it in a bottle to fuel any weariness, doubt or fear that will ever come ahead.
"In Me you live and move and have your being.
Every step you take, every word you speak, every breath you breathe-all
is done in My watchful embarrassing Presence. You are totally immersed
in My invisible yet ever-so-real Being! The more aware of Me you are,
the more alive and complete you will feel. Your union with Me makes
every moment of your life meaningful."
We celebrate you today, tomorrow and forever Jesus. We say Happy Birthday and most of all THANK YOU.
