A Merry Christmas Letter
I woke up this morning feeling a true peace and knew joy was all over me.
I thanked God from the deepest depths of gratitude. I assured The LORD that my heart wanted to please Him.
I have many prayer petitions set before God and still waiting on answers; yet I do not have the prayer request anymore, because I gave them to The LORD.
I am praising and worshipping Him as thought I already have the answer.
The first word I heard this morning was:
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
The LORD is just reaffirming His Word by how I feel . I gave everything over to The LORD and He has worked those things out for my good.
In whatever form The LORD releases answers to prayers; let us have assurance of reaping truth and light.
I feel light-hearted today, even though I have fought many devastating battles against the kingdom of darkness. I know that The Greater One lives on the inside of me!
My friends, let me encourage you to move away from the stress of Christmas shopping, gifts, company, food, relationships, and all the busyness that comes along with this time of year. How can we effectively celebrate Jesus if we are not at peace?
A Christian should never say, “Happy Holidays” — because we celebrate the birth of The Christ Child.
Put all shopping on hold long enough to remind people of the true reason to have joy, hope, peace, charity, and the greatest love in the world.
Let this be a time of sharing your story of how you received the miraculous gift of Jesus.
Jesus did not leave us comfortless He sent a Helper to guide and lead us to all truths. We are not alone witness this by me today.
I have situations going on in my life that would give me good and just cause to stay in the bed and cover my head concerning weariness.
BUT, I got a Word this morning that has set my soul on fire. I am so thankful for the gift of God’s Word and His love.
Today I let Yeshua know that I have a grateful attitude for all things happening whether I deemed them good, bad, or indignant.
I do not have everything I want and some things I need but I have a promise that everything will be all right!

I am celebrating Christmas this year with a newfound joy for what I already have.
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” 2 Peter 1:3
If I do not receive one gift, I want to be the gift giver this year. I send out these little red ribbons as reminders that we have a Savior that lives.
Messiah is pouring His love on us every day, as it attaches itself to eternal life.
I do not have joy and peace today because I won the lottery, got a new car, house, or have a book on the Bestseller list — I have it because Jesus gave it to me.
When you see someone getting frantic shopping, ask them why are they buying gifts; then tell the amazing story of Jesus humble birth. (Luke 2:1-21).
Do not forget the meaning of Christmas. Santa Claus has no power over death; he cannot raise the dead, pardon sin, or grant eternal life.
Families make sure children know the truth about the real gift giver!
Jesus does not put coal in stockings . Our worthiness for Christ’s love does not hinge on whether we have been good or bad.
Jesus loves us perfectly. God’s Glory goes before all grace.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ The LORD.” Luke 2:11
“And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”Glory in the Highest
“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
Circumcision of Jesus
“And when eight days were completed [g]for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.” Luke 2:1-21

Thank you sister Mary i totally agree with you. I feel sad that many people celebrate Christmas for the joy of partying and gift exchange but forget that the Lord Jesus is the reason for the season. I pray that many will wake up and adore the one who was born to give us eternal life and celebrate his birthdate, although we know that he was not born in December but in my heart I celebrate Him all the time. Many blessings to you and may the Lord answer your every prayer very soon.
Amen Sister,bring it on. Only God can give us this joy that is unspeakable and fullof glory!
You have been a great encouragement for me today.
Blessings,
In His Care
