Good morning, friends!
Here is another snow image from my archives of when we had a big snow storm last year. I remember this day as I walked in the field-meadow by our house. The trees were covered with snow and it was so quiet and still, a wonderful peaceful surrounding. Today is the fourth advent, a celebration of Peace. The whole reason our Lord Jesus came to earth; to give mankind peace with God. Born of a virgin, His sinless life, ministry of love, dying for our sins and rising to life – He alone is our hope, our faith, our joy, and our peace. It is encouraging to know the God of love and peace is with me. May His love give you comfort and peace this season. Today is the last Sunday I will be sending out the Photo-Scripture Mini-Devotionals. After doing this for years, I think it is time. I have prayed and thought about it and I do hope you were encouraged by them. I pray you all have a wonderful Christmas and blessings in the new year.

I have been going through some of my snow photographs from last year and found this sweet one of two doves sitting in the snow. Today marks the third week of Advent which celebrates the ‘Joy’ of this season. I thought this bible Scripture from the Psalms makes a nice match to this image. This verse outwardly refers to a national unity to the Jewish nation, however, in a deeper sense speaks to spiritual unity for all of us. It speaks to me to remember we believers are all in this journey together, we know who the Lord Jesus is, what He did for us, why He came to earth and how His supreme love has saved our souls. At this joyous season, may we remember to love one another and spread His everlasting joy, the real and true reason for Christmas.
Goodness, our weather in Texas is up and down in temperatures and has made the pasture grasses turn golden. This is sunset over a Texas farm pasture and I thought it worked well with this Scripture from 1st John. The vast countryside in this image and the bright sun and light behind it fits. In December I like to follow the Advent Sunday spiritual preparation prompts as we celebrate our great Hope this season. Today is a reflection of faith. Because of Christ’s victory overcoming death on the cross, we, who have put our faith in Him have overcome death as well. No more fears, no more worries, just peace and gratefulness to the Lord of lords and King of kings. We celebrate this season because God sent His Son to be Savior of the world – to those who will come to Him - because of His extreme and perfect love (a true element of who He is, no matter what this present world tries to diminish).
May this week bring you through it with blessings and stronger in faith. |
