“What would you like for Christmas?” It’s a fair question when you’re looking for gift ideas to buy for those you love. It can be a tough question to answer though for a lot of us adults. Most of us don’t have a clue. Many of us are so busy preparing for Christmas we haven’t taken the time to think of what we want. I pretty much already have everything I want, so I can be difficult to buy for.

Generally, kids are pretty quick to tell you what they want. You ask, they’ll tell you straight away! What it costs, or how difficult it might be to satisfy their desires doesn’t seem to matter much, after all it’s Christmas and getting gifts is what it’s all about…at least to little kids. I was once a little kid; I’m sure you remember being a kid and having your Christmas wish list too.

Okay, so let’s play like you’ve just asked me what I want for Christmas. 

Here is my wish list:

  • The first day of Christmas I would like all wars to end, and there be peace on earth, good will among all people
  • The second day of Christmas families everywhere would have their sons and daughters back home healthy and safe to stay
  • On the third day of Christmas the homeless finally find their happy homes
  • The fourth day of Christmas hungry people around the world are constantly fed
  • The fifth day of Christmas new jobs are there for those who want them
  • The sixth day of Christmas every new mother looks into the face of her healthy,  happy newborn baby, and her husband, the baby’s father proudly and confidently stands beside them
  • On the seventh day of Christmas my true love tells me of the joy we share
  • The eighth day of Christmas new beginnings are off to a wonderful start for all
  • The ninth day of Christmas the last drug addict and alcoholic have successfully recovered from their addictions
  • On the tenth day of Christmas families everywhere are reunited
  • The eleventh day of Christmas faith is restored to all who suffer and they are healed of all their diseases

And on the twelfth day of Christmas I wish for God to get His wish…that all His people realize how much He loves them, and they accept His Son, Jesus Christ as their personal savior! 
Here's hoping I get everything on my Christmas Wish list!

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
