How many times have ...I loved this word, my friend. How many times have I been given a gift, but never truly received it? I left it in its packaging rather than opening and embracing and enjoying the gift. You bent my mind a little bit. And it was a good bending. I'm taking your thoughts and pondering them this weekend. Thank you for that, my friend,<br /><br />May your Christmas hold much joy, and may you receive His rejoicing over YOU.

Let's receive all that He has for us... however He gets it to us... Let's once again gather 'round the cradle and let heaven and nature sing... But let's also remember that we are to gather around the Cross when all of heaven fell silent. That too, was a holy night." And verse four is one of my faves....just love those words. Thanks for reminding me to have my hands wide upon so I can receive!

All too often I want to keep God wrapped up in a box of my making so that I can comfortably live my life whislt only paying lip-service (See how big my God is, he's in that box over there). Thank you for the reminder to unwrap the gift and receive all he wants to give me.blestbutstresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058280295906350992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-15551028353550671042015-12-18T15:36:35.216-08:002015-12-18T15:36:35.216-08:00Great word, my friend.

I love this line: "Let's untie what is bound this Christmas and tear open any boxes that we have limited Him too. Let's receive all that He has for us... however He gets it to us..." Hope you have a great Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
