| 30 November morning flurries |
Staring out at the swirling snow gently falling from the cloud-filled sky, my thoughts turn as dreary as the day appears to be......
.......my mother in law is quite ill.......my father in law has his own physical issues..........and we live out of state and can't help much, but for prayers........
my house is a mess due to carpet contractors coming and going in the next 48 hours.......
 |
| family room filled with bedroom items |
and the message on the piano that says it's the most wonderful time of the year makes me cringe in ways......because....is it really??
 |
| living room filled with Xmas items/gifts/mess |
and then my eye sees this:
 |
| Nativity on the living room bookshelf |
...and I remember:
Without Jesus, there would be no Christmas........the whole reason we have this holiday is because He came to earth in human form....as a baby...to grow and mature into a man who would be sacrificed for our sins......by His blood...like a sacrificial Lamb.......our Redeemer....the only God who rose to life after death and is coming again one day...........to make a new heaven and a new earth and to wipe away all sickness, all tears, all evil.............
Jesus...the Lamb of God.........
bringing Hope into our chaos.......
.................bringing Light into the darkness.........
...............................bringing Peace to our turmoil...........

Keeping your in-laws in prayer...cold and very snowy here in the Southern Tier.
Yes, Jesus the Reason of the Season. I do hope you have a beautiful day regardless of whatever is going on.
Lovely post, Faith. So true. Keeping our eyes on Jesus,Is what gets us through the most difficult times in life. I got the lovely little note card you sent late yesterday. I am home from school today with a bad back. I will email later. I am so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. It is so difficult when those we love get old and sick. I will keep your family in prayer. I hope the carpet install goes well.
Sorry to hear about your in-laws. It must be difficult not living near to them. I hope the work in your house goes smoothly it's hard living in chaos.
Love this! Prayers for you and your family and may we all keep our sight on the one who's birthday we celebrate this time of the year!
Thank you, Faith. Exactly what I needed today!
