Do not accept information from the WRONG source! This is a blessed time of year as we prepare for the Lord’s birth, but it can be painful and stressful as well. Why? To name a few:
The evil one always seeks to steal our joy and he does it well! PLEASE do not let him. In Christ, you are loved with a love you can NEVER LOSE! BELIEVE! It is the best gift ever and one you cannot lose!

Loving,
Guiding,
Protecting me
And yet,
I took you for granted
Until one day.
I looked deep into your eyes
And you looked to my heart
And I gave it to you.
Then,
I was reborn!

We begin life finely knit together,
One to another,
No labels,
Many colors,
Plump or delicate,
Uniquely different yet all the same
In likeness to Him.
Sadly,
We mature and our eyes,
Those human orbs,
Deny the truth held in our hearts.

My heartbeat quickened when I heard your voice
Beckoning me to come and see,
And eagerly I stepped out into the night.
The cool air refreshed me
And though I walked hesitantly at first,
I soon hurried on in hopeful anticipation.
We were making progress,
You said.
I, my human sight far weaker
Than your vision for me,
Saw only that home and familiarity
Were no longer in view
And realized the night air had grown cold.
I held my breath,
Saw the darkness and wondered at the hour.
I lost sight of you,
And felt frozen in place
Without a plan,
With legs suddenly as marble,
Stiff and immobile
I wondered what to do,
My eyes tightly shut.
I cried out
And heard your voice,
As though you were standing
Right in front of me
“I’m here” you said, reassuring me.
I opened my eyes and saw you
Standing so close
Your presence warmed me
In body and in soul.
You reached out,
I placed my hand in yours.
“Look!” you said
And I saw more stars than I could count
Studding the night sky.
“I placed each one of them there for you”
You told me.
At that moment, I knew your love
As I had never known it before
And hope swelled within me
Until happy tears fell
And we walked on together.
“It is well” you assured me,
But I already knew.
