"The Sweetest Gift"

Somehow music usually helps me through difficult days and seasons
and although this one does not fit my situations it is very touching and new to me
so

this title helps me  remember that every year, every moment
JESUS is the Sweetest Gift {although it's not directly what this song says}

"I'm not gonna lie Christmas really hurts this time 'Cause you're not here to celebrate with me Tears fill my eyes The memories flood my mind As I place your ornament upon our tree Although this year I have a broken heart It gives me hope and joy as I remember where you are You're with the Son of God You're with the Prince of Peace You're with the one who's celebrating And that thought amazes me Sometimes I still break down Grieving that we're apart But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are You're with the Son of God" for more of the lyrics, go here

because JESUS is the true Reason for this Season
every season

After this first week of December, which quite often is hard for me, pondering about what God might want for my new One Word, I couldn't help but reflect on the one for 2018: BELIEVE, because this One Word also helped me through this year as I faced times when I held closely my faith and all iBelieve. God could not have given me a more important Word than this one. Our Lord Jesus walked with me through His Word, His Promises, and alongside me all year long (even on the 2nd and the 6th, this past week), a broken heart, a broken spirit (Psalm 51:17),  a broken 'alabaster jar' (Mark 14:3-11) poured out ... what a precious gift Jesus is and gave us! The Greatest Christmas Gift! (thanks Ann Voskamp!)
JESUS

this Christmas, this year & next

expectant
hearts
for
His Coming
        Growing In     Faith          Together

Life is sweeter with Jesus
holding you

Prayers for comfort and peace
