Said I was “fruit topping”??? Not even close! LOL! Fruit on
ice cream is an oxymoron, I’m sure!

Actually, my favorite topping is caramel. :)

The Spirit Of Christmas

February 1, 2012

The acts of generosity and good will that flourish in December often fade quickly, causing many to say, “I wish we could keep the Christmas spirit all year long.” Why does it seem that kindness and compassion are chained to the calendar? Is there an ever-flowing fountain of compassion deeper than warm holiday feelings that pass with the season?

In the first two chapters of Luke, it is striking that the Holy Spirit is mentioned seven times. His work is cited in the lives of the unborn John the Baptist (1:15), Mary (1:35), Elizabeth (1:41), Zacharias (1:67), and Simeon (2:25-27). Here, in what we often call “the Christmas story,” there is no mention of people having something just come to mind or of feeling strangely moved. Instead, the Holy Spirit is identified as the One who guided Simeon, filled Zacharias and Elizabeth, and created the baby in Mary’s womb.

Do we, like them, recognize the Spirit’s voice in the midst of all others? Are we alert to His promptings and eager to obey? Will we allow His warmth and love to fill our hearts and flow through our hands?

Today, the presence and power of Christ remain with us through the Holy Spirit, who is the true, eternal Spirit of Christmas—all year long.

Let the fullness of Thy Spirit
Fall upon us here this hour.
How we need a new anointing
Of the Holy Ghost and power. —Jarvis

Jesus went away so the Spirit could come to stay.

Read: Luke 1:31-41

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. —Luke 1:35

Bible in a year:
Leviticus 14-16

You Are Parfait Liqueur

You are powerful and compassionate. People are drawn to your quietude and serenity.
You are patient and loyal, but when spurred to action, fierce in defense of your family, your values, and your Nation.

When you find yourself in adversity, you invariably fight through to victory.

You are passionate in defense of your core values, the values that have been passed down to us through the milenia, the values that formed our Beloved Nation, and the values we must cleave to for the preservation of our Freedom.

What kind of topping would “no topping” be? That’s the way I like ice cream. Totally unadorned.
