The Gift of Peace

Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests."
One of the Great things we celebrate this Christmas is the Gift of Peace through the coming of our LORD.

I've been thinking about that verse all week. God brings us Peace with Him, Peace in our Relationships, Peace in the midst of the storms. For me, I'm so thankful that God gives us a PEACE that TRANSENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING! I know a lot of people who are going through difficult circumstances right now and yet the peace of God still rules their lives.

The Question this week is How has God brought PEACE to your life?

Christ-mas

"Unless we reinvest Christmas with its glorious message and meaning, the holidays will pass like a pagan festival. Unless we truly celebrate Christ, the greatest story ever told will be lost amid the bells, bows and baubles. Make your holiday a holy day. Add another seat or two at your table. Set free whatever grudges or ill will you would hold on to. Sing the carols at the top of your voice. Tell Christ’s story with thanksgiving and awe. Wrap every present in love. You are the reason Jesus came. No one has more cause to celebrate than you do."
-Michael Crabtree
