The first thing you don't want to hear
on a Monday morning
is that there is such
sadness all around us.
It won't take you long
for you to think of~
a someone in your life~
or a someone in someone else's life~
or you may be the someone
that needs
PRAYER
because of a
loss
illness
depression
emergency or
a . . .~
as the list goes on and on,
as I know because it is all around me.
The trees and the lights and the signs of
CHRISTmas
are all around us too,
yet so is
the someone
who needs
PRAYER.
I got another text last night to pray
for a someone who I don't know,
yet God knows.
Honestly, I hesitated
as my faith began to waiver
What will my prayer do~
Do the impossible?
Turn bad into good?
Heal the sick?
Comfort the hurting?
Turn back the clock on the elderly?
As I look at my
Christmas Tree
with the nativity placed underneath it,
Tears fill my eyes
as
I missed it,
THE BABY~
the tiniest of them all
THE BABY~
Who is the answer to all prayer
because
HE is all that
the someone
or the someone else
or the you and the me
needs
because
HE is more than the
REASON for the SEASON~
HE IS THE REASON
for ALL
because
HE IS
HOPE in the midst of despair
for All~
PEACE in the midst of anxiety
for All~
JOY in the midst of sadness
for All.
So I won't tire of
PRAYING
for you & for the someone elses in your life & for me
because
there is a
SOMEONE
bigger than any of the issues in our lives~
THE BABY
who was born
to be the
answer to all our prayers~
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
THE BABY~
who takes us
From Ordinary TO EXTRAORDINARY!
