Welcome to the Month of December - Prince of Peace

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, I pray that you will have a month of Peace for in Psalm 4:8, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety." Yes, I am looking outside right now and we got 6 inches of snow yesterday. Today is trash day so manuerved the trash can through the ice crusted snow and got it at the bottom of the drive way. You may ask what that has to do with peace! Everything! It is HIS Peace that I am able to even do the little ordinary things. Since the death of my husband some days are hard to tackle and it is only possible by His peace. A blessed assurance that He is with me that He is in Control and that I am His. Sometimes I am really sad but then I think of how loving God is and how beautifully His peace was with me all the day long. And when it is time to sleep His Peace is ever present. This morning when I opened my back door windows to meet the day - the early morning birds were at the feeders and had gathered together on the ground. It was a blessed site to see - even with all the snow and the cold temperatures and the wind blowing they managed to gather together to feed. It was a potent picture of peace. The conditions weren't ideal BUT they still gathered together to eat. I was not going to keep the bird feeders up this winter and by seeing this scene I will continue to be amazed at the goodness of God and the peace He gives so richly and abundantly. Let us pray - Abba Father, Praise to Thee for Your Peace and wonder, for Your provisions and your lovingkindness. I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that she would see the small things in life that give her peace and also a hope that You are the Prince of Peace. Lord fill her to overflowing with Your blessings and tender mercies as she starts her walk of faith day. And when challenges or chaos interrupt her peace may she be bold and thank You for what You are doing in her life is more than she could ever imagine or ask. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Blessings,
