“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!

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.

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
