Indeed. We had a bit of a weather reprieve today...27 degrees, no wind. It was positively balmy.

December 22The Fathers Blessing
See what great love the Father has lavished on us.
1 John 3:1Recently, several people within our churchthose who had experienced poor relationships with their fathersasked me to stand in as a loving, father figure and offer a blessing over them. The blessing asked forgiveness for the ways a father can hurt his children by setting expectations that are too high or being distant or failing to offer tender presence and affirmation. It also pronounced delight, admiration, and abundant love. As I shared the blessing, I wept. I realized how I still needed to receive such words, and how much my children need them too.
The Scriptures repeatedly speak of God as our Father, a reality reshaping the distorted father images we might have. God, our eternal Father, has lavished on us perfect love, making us children of God (1 John 3:1). Our identity as Gods sons and daughters grounds us in an uncertain, fear-inducing world. We are children of God, John says, even though what we will be has not yet been made known (v. 2). Facing ever-present challenges, all we can truly count on is that our Father loves and provides for us and never stops. When everything is said and done, God says through the inspired words of John, we can be certain well be like Him (v. 2).
In the midst of our anxieties, wounds, and failures, our good Father speaks a blessing of inexhaustible love. God insists we belong, for Hes made us His children.

Reflect & Pray
What comes to mind when you ponder the word father? How does Gods lavish love reshape the father image for you?
God, teach me more about how You are my Father. May I experience and know Your care.

When you are offended at any man's fault,
turn to yourself and study your own failings.
Then you will forget your anger.

Happy Sunday at Amy's Place, all!

~Christmas Joy To All At Amy's Place~
~Good Tidings Of Great Joy~
Luke2:1-20 ~ KJV And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Blessings To All Who Enter Here

The Back is keeping me away from the internet.
Photobucket going down gave me discipline to stay off
and help quiet the pain. It's better for it!
I Wish You A Peaceful Sleep.

Hope you feel better soon!
My aunt suffers back pain too.
She is 88. She says how good she felt until 85. That was a pretty good run of great health.
Feel better soon
