Has the day brought joy and gladness? Did you find peace in
your heart? Who was at the centre of your thoughts? And dare I ask if you had
time for prayer? If your day was like mine you would have rejoiced and been
thankful for all your blessings.
The children were totally spoiled with many presents, but
what fun there was! Pirate costumes, sword fights, shouts and laughter, LeapPad earphones, quiet moments, DVDs and plenty to eat. There were tears, tantrums
and disappointments too. The devil lurked in dark corners and tried his best to
spoil; he stabbed here and there, but to no avail.
The spirit of Christmas prevailed; love overcame, and family
bonds were strengthened. There was a growing together and an acceptance of our weaknesses,
along with a better understanding of who were are and how we relate.
Thank you God for Christmas Day because it is a time when we
celebrate the birth of a very special infant, the Holy Jesus, born of a Virgin.
Luke 1:34, 35 ‘Then
Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the
angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the
power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is
to be born will be called the Son of God.”’
