Word Filled Wednesday–His Name…

WFWlogo

For unto us a Child is born,
      Unto us a Son is given;
      And the government will be upon His shoulder.
      And His name will be called
      Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
      Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,  Isaiah 9:6,7

This week will probably find us thinking a lot about gifts.  Hopefully, most of our gifts have been purchased and are waiting to be opened.  We are probably hoping that the recipient will enjoy their gift and think fondly of our care in choosing it. 

This verse is my favorite Christmas verse.  It reminds us of God’s Gift to us and gives us the name of not only who He is, but what He is…our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  This gifts continue on through the ages and will abide forever.  That is a gift that keeps on giving!  May we take some time this week to meditate on our wonderful Savior and the power of His name.

    That is a favorite verse of mine, too. I absolutely love "The Hallelujah Chorus" - of which these names of the Lord are part. It gives me goosebumps and tears at the same time. Did you happen to see the YouTube video of people singing it in a food court? It was a total surprise - and it was very special. To sing out, in a public place, adoration to our Savior - oh, thrilling!

    Wishing you and yours a WONDER-full Christmas!

    GOD BLESS!

    Beautiful photos! You are right he is our "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!" I pray we not only unwrap the gifts around our tree but the gift found lying in a manger long ago!;)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
