Good Friday morning, my friends.
What do you have planned for today? For this weekend? Are you caught up in decorating, buying and wrapping presents, planning menus, preparing food, getting ready to travel, getting ready for visitors, attending office parties, etc. etc.?
Have you taken 5 minutes in the last 1,440 minutes (24 hours) to still your heart, and your soul, and meditate not only on the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem but on how prepared you are if He should return tonight? Yeah, me either. But I am going to try to now!
Advent is a season of preparation and refection. The themes of hope, peace, joy and love represent the real gifts of the season - God's gifts to us. Accept and cherish those gifts this Christmas. Be fully present with your families so that you can share the gifts with them.
Merry Christmas,
Bruce
Lord Jesus, our brother and our Saviour,
come into our hearts with your love,
with your joy, your hope, and your peace.
Help us to reflect your love for all
by loving and serving all we meet.
by loving and serving all we meet.
Lord Jesus,
come into our lives,
and share your gifts with all people.
come into our lives,
and share your gifts with all people.
Blessed are you, Lord Jesus,
forever and ever.
forever and ever.
Amen!
