I know I will not have a chance to get on the forum on the next few days with travels- so I post now to wish this forum family a Blessed Merry Christmas from Texas. A joyous heart full of love, fellowship, peace and living in the Divine Will as we all journey on together to our Heavenly Home. I love you all. Merry Christmas in Gods Love to all Here! Charity
Hi Charity, A Blessed, Merry Christmas to you too from Spokane Washington. I like how you describe us on a journey together, it is, isn't it. May God bless you and keep you, Pinecone Jill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gate_of_the_Year God Knows And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. So heart be still: What need our little life Our human life to know, If God hath comprehension? In all the dizzy strife Of things both high and low, God hideth His intention. God knows. His will Is best. The stretch of years Which wind ahead, so dim To our imperfect vision, Are clear to God. Our fears Are premature; In Him, All time hath full provision. Then rest: until God moves to lift the veil From our impatient eyes, When, as the sweeter features Of Life’s stern face we hail, Fair beyond all surmise God’s thought around His creatures Our mind shall fill.[1]
Heartlight Daily Verse - 24 December Luke 2:16-20 [The shepherds] hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby [Jesus], who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed... But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Thoughts on today's verse: The shepherds reaction to baby Jesus is exactly what our reaction will be when we see the returning Jesus: we will glorify and praise God for all the things we see and hear and will find that they are just as God has promised them to us. Since God kept his word in the first coming of Jesus, we can be assured that he will do it with the Second Coming of Jesus! Prayer: Faithful and all powerful Lord, thank you for being trustworthy and true. Help me to be faithful to you in what I do and say! and think during this stressful yet marvelous time. May I never lose faith in the coming of Jesus and may my faith in him ever shape my life to be more pleasing to you. Amen.

Especially for all our members from the Asian Rim and down under. They're virtually a day ahead of us! A Blessed Christmas to all! Luke 1: 10 And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 11 for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"
Merry Christmas and may the peace of knowing God sent his Son to save us fill all of our hearts with Joy!
