To and for his Glory we stand!!!

Comment by a servant (Chris) on December 18, 2011 at 2:18pm: Father for a Humble Heart, to be able to share Love w/o interference. A Kind heart to be able to serve, in ways most helpful. A Gentle heart so that even children are able to Trust us and what we do. Oh, Dad Thank You for giving us these things so we can be useful to the Kingdom. In Jesus I Praise and Thank You for the opportunity to Serve.

Comment by sandra v villamero on December 16, 2011 at 2:39am: Love Came Down

The world was blessed at Christmas
with a miracle of love...
a guiding star and angel choir
rejoicing from above.
They pointed to a tiny babe
within a cattle stall-
a Saviour bringing peace on earth-
the greatest gift of all.

Celebrating the humble birth of our glorious Saviour and wishing you a season full of overflowing joy and peace.
Christmas Blessings

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given...and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 KJV

Comment by a servant (Chris) on December 15, 2011 at 7:54pm: My Dear Lord

I so understand what Nancy speaks of at least about the frustrated and grumpy feeling. I would not disrespect her by thinking I know of what she has gone through. Just the effects I understand. I lift her up to You in Jesus Name. She is such a blessing to me and to so many others. I ask that You lighten her load, and bring a Blessing that she is unable to contain. Luke 6:38 Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you."

Comment by sandra v villamero on December 15, 2011 at 3:06pm: What we're really getting ready for is Love

Preparing for the holidays is primarily a preparing of the heart.
Because what comes down is love, and the way to receive love isn't to wrap anything up - but to unwrap your heart.

Advent - this is the season of preparing that prepares us for any season of life - because we are preparing our lives for Christ to enter in - which prepares for us the life without end. Is that the ultimate purpose of this life - the preparing for the next life?

Is this why Christmas, Advent, unlike any other time of year, glimmers with a glimpse of heaven - because it's the time of year we're fulfilling our purpose, preparing for Christ and His coming again? The Christmas tree's been lit for weeks, a beacon, a preparing, an anticipation. Why is it easier to make Christmas cookies than to make our hearts ready for Christ?

Is getting ready for Christmas as simple and difficult as simply sitting stilled before the cradle of Christ?
And yet. Love came down and "He came to His own people, and His own people did not receive him." (John 1:11)
Love came down - and his own people did not recognize Him.
Love came down - and His own people did not want what He offered.
The Messiah came down and He wasn't received as the Messiah - and Love comes down and who receives all the moments as His love?
