Day 19: Joyful Peace


The Falalala is all around us~

Hope fills the air.

"Peace on earth goodwill to men"(Luke 2:14)~

Hope fills the air.

But amongst the Falalala

Life keeps going on~

as not only does laughter fill the air

but also do tears.

Joy & Sorrow

all around us

as we

Celebrate with loved ones who are here

and as we

Celebrate our loved ones who are no longer here~

yet are

dancing with

Jesus.

Jesus the Man~

who once was

A Baby~

Born in a manger;

Born to Restore all that is lost;

Born to Breath Life back into death

to make all things right.

because

this is what Christmas is all about~

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

It all started in a manger

the moment

The Baby

let out His first cry

so

He could

hear your cries & wipe your tears

because

Hope

fills the air in the midst of the

Falalalala

to remind you what

Christmas is all about~

"It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood"*

&

then you experience it~

"Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously Pacing 'round like little boys do And in his hands he held a pair of shoes His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe And when it came his time to pay I couldn't believe what I heard him say Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time You see she's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes would make her smile And I want her to look beautiful

if mama meets Jesus tonight"

*(The Christmas Shoes)

Joy

in the midst of sorrow

for

those who have gone before you

to meet

Jesus

because He said~

"Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23: 43

Hope

fills the air.

Joy

in the midst of sorrow.

My heart is crushed with all of you

in the midst of your great losses.

Hugs those you love & love those you hug~

whether they are here with you

or have gone ahead

to be with

Jesus

because

He is the reason for the season

because

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelations 21:4

"I knew that God had sent that little boy To remind me just what Christmas is all about..."
