Apollo 8 Genesis Reading, Christmas Eve 1968
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made;
without Him nothing was made
that has been made.
In Him was life,
and that life was the light
of all mankind.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
. . .
The Word became flesh
and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His glory,
the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-5, 14 (NIV)

------------------------------
Heavenly Father,
We thank you how You have blessed our nation with godly leaders and moved our people to do remarkable things, while giving You the glory. Therefore, we confess that we have forgotten who we are, as we shut You out of our lives and live like You don't exist.
Forgive our sins of unbelief as individuals and a people. Fill us with the Holy Spirit. Empower us to do Your will. Through Your Spirit, may we reflect Your Light in this dark world.
Protect all those who sacrifice and go into harm's way to defend us, home and abroad. Shield Your servants from attacks on all fronts - physical, mental, and spiritual. And through the power of Your Spirit, may America will be great again.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen
-----------
Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Psalm 118:1 (NIV)
Keep praying for America

The fate of unborn Millions
will now depend,
under God,
on the Courage and
Conduct of this army --
Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy
leaves us no choice
but a brave resistance,
or the most abject submission;
this is all we can expect --
We have therefore to resolve
to conquer or die:
Our own Country's Honor,
all call upon us
for a vigorous and manly exertion,
and if we now shamefully fail,
we shall become infamous
to the whole world."
-- George Washington,
General Orders, Headquarters,
New York, July 2, 1776
Only be careful,
and watch yourselves closely
so that you do not forget
the things your eyes have seen
or let them fade from your heart
as long as you live.
Teach them to your children
and to their children after them.
Deuteronomy 4:9 (NIV)

And . . .
Bonus:
Remember Who We Are

Keep praying for America

A Fragile Gift
December 25, 2015
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15
When we give a fragile gift, we make sure it is marked on the box that contains it. The word fragile is written with big letters because we donât want anyone to damage what is inside.
Godâs gift to us came in the most fragile package: a baby. Sometimes we imagine Christmas day as a beautiful scene on a postcard, but any mother can tell you it wasnât so. Mary was tired, probably insecure. It was her first child, and He was born in the most unsanitary conditions. She âwrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the innâ (Luke 2:7 nkjv).
A baby needs constant care. Babies cry, eat, sleep, and depend on their caregivers. They cannot make decisions. In Maryâs day, infant mortality was high, and mothers often died in childbirth.
Why did God choose such a fragile way to send His Son to earth? Because Jesus had to be like us in order to save us. Godâs greatest gift came in the fragile body of a baby, but God took the risk because He loves us. Let us be thankful today for such a gift!
Dear Lord, the Strong and Mighty One, I thank You for becoming small and fragile on that day long ago. It amazes me that You did that for me and the rest of Your world.
May you know the peace of Christmas every day of the year.
The New Bible Commentary explains the census described in Luke 2: âDuring the reign of Augustus (31 bcâad 14) the Romans reorganized their administration in several parts of the Empire and carried out fresh censuses of the population for the purpose of taxation. The execution of such an imperial decree in Syria (of which Judea formed a part) brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, long ago prophesied as the Messiahâs place of birth. The fact that Mary travelled with Joseph means that they were now married, but the description of her as [pledged to be married] (v. 5) to him . . . shows that they had not yet consummated the marriage (cf. Mt. 1:25).â

Amen to your prayers and petitions of faith. Thank you for reminding us our roots among these times when we feel so desolate. Joining in confessing my own failings that contribute to the nation for which we pray deeply now. Asking for Mercy and Grace to be upon our Heroes and their families. And most of all, offering THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE to our GOD for HIS Salvation and Anointing on every soul that calls upon his NAME. GOD BLESS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Jean
