Good Morning,
My old hands are embracing my hot cup of Door County Christmas Coffee like a drowning man hanging on to the side of a life boat. The heat from the cup feels very nice today.
I was talking with an old friend last night after our Christmas Eve church service as two old guys will do. We were both remarking as to how much more pleasant many of the advertising commercials are this Christmas season. They seem to be more entertaining in a wholesome way. There were a few commercials that I looked forward to seeing. There was one commercial featuring Franklin Graham and he delivered a message of how important a relationship with Jesus is. He cut right to the heart of every soul and sealed the message with an invitation to follow Jesus.
We can hope and pray for world peace and that is a noble thing to do. My friends, any peace that might take place needs to start with each and every person, seeking peace within our own hearts and souls. My prayer for those reading my blog today is to heed the call of Christmas and let a relationship with the Savior Jesus light the fire in your heart for peace, hope and love today.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light".
Romans 10:13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Someone. somewhere is hurting today and their world seems dark and hopeless. Fill your heart with the love of the One who died for you. Heed His invitation of rest for your soul.
Merry Christmas and may God Bless you and yours. .
Marty
