The day and the hour.

Hi Friends. Sorry that I have been so quiet. Can you believe it.....8 days to Christmas. It is a true saying time and tide waits for no man. It was just the other day that there was all of the build up to the world cup and now we are looking back over the past months and quickly even the afterglow is fading into the past.

Funny how we always want something to look forward to and yet do not live in the moment. sometimes I even find myself pushing into my next birthday just 2 months after I have enjoyed the last one. If someone asks me how old I am I tend to say next birthday I will be.....whatever age I will be next birthday. How crazy is that. why dont I just say how old I am at the time rather than say what I will be in 10months time...pretty crazy.
Any how back to Christmas. Whether you are going to be at home or away on holiday I trust you will all be blessed in celebrating the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Let us not forget the reason for the season.
Isnt it awesome that God sent His only Son to earth to be born as a baby, to be our saviour, that Jesus was willing to die on the cross for us that we may have eternal life. That is mind blowing. I dont know about you, but I am overwhelmed by the plan and purposes of God for our lives. Jesus truelly is the best present of all.
Let us take hold of the day and the hour and harness the moment of celebration with family and friends this Christmas. We have so much to be grateful for. take time for thanksgiving and dont forget to bless someone less fortunate. Its the small things that make a big difference. Stop,pause and say thank you to God and also to those around you.   Happy Christmas friends. May you experience Gods love, grace and kindness this Christmas season and may the gift of eternal life be a reality. Those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Invite Jesus into your life this Christmas it will be the best decision you have ever made.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus I invite you into my life today and ask you to forgive me of my sins, may the blood of Jesus cleanse me and heal me of all my diseases, may the Holy Spirit fill me with truth and may I walk in your ways from this day forth in Jesus Name amen.

As you pray this prayer Jesus doesnt only forgive you of your sins He makes you a part of His family and He has written your name in the Book of Life and you will live with Him forever. How awesome is that.
He really is the Best present of all.  God Bless you.

love Rose.
