The First Noel

By Christina

imageWhy would anyone dislike a season where we celebrate that our King was brought into this world–our Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer and our HOPE!

This is just another reminder of a God that LOVES us that much!

He has given us peace, joy, hope and love. So we believe that He is the First Noel. The first to forgive and the first to free us.

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:6-7

Let It Snow!

By Christina

imageJust three days away til Christmas and it is raining. Vacation begins and I have these beautiful comfy moments all to myself. Instead of the cold weather, it is still pleasant. Not that I am complaining but we are just getting rain here in NY. At this time of the year it should be snowing! It is pretty! Not so much to drive in but some weather raining down on us is actually quite lovely. Lord, I may be the first to shout it from the rooftops!

LET IT SNOW!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.
He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Psalm 148:1-8

Silent Night

By Christina

imageSilent Nights…

Silent storms;
Silent screams;
Silent cries;
Silent words;
Silent thoughts;
Silent prayers…

It is where our roots become so deep in Christ and all that He came for!!!

That silent night became a holy night.
It became a blessed night.
A night of peace, tranquility….serenity.
Everything calm and a still soul.
Thankful, appreciative and reflective.

My roots are in You!
I am built up in You!
That is why I so easily broke…
My roots were NOT deep enough!
Now they are steadfast.
In the silent storms of my life, You met me there when no one else did.
Who or what can come as close as this. Lord there is none but You! Continue reading
