An Event for Everyone
8-12 There were shepherds camping in the neighborhood. They had set
night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and
God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, “Don’t be
afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for
everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who
is Messiah and Master. This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a
blanket and lying in a manger.”
Luke
2:8-11 International Children's Bible
Some Shepherds Hear About Jesus
8 That night, some shepherds were in the fields nearby watching
their sheep. 9 An angel of the Lord stood before
them. The glory of the Lord was shining around them, and suddenly they became
very frightened. 10 The angel said to them, “Don’t
be afraid, because I am bringing you some good news. It will be a joy to all
the people. 11 Today your Savior was born in
David’s town. He is Christ, the Lord.

– Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
So here we are Lord; Thank you for the 23rd of
December 2023.
We don’t have to be! Yet even as we reminisce about those who left
us yesterday or before we ever got to know they were there you allow us today.
As I start my day with the changes over these
past few years thinking back to those dreams that make me shudder and know you
are alive. As my heart aches for all
the broken pieces including mine. I
know you are the glue that hold me together.
I never picked it early on. Never even having a clue about what life
meant, what to do to even survive. But
even in the darkness everything with you is so very clear and the peace that
flows through these veins even when the tears fall shine bright like that north
star that led mankind to you on that first night Father God allowed you to come
and show us the way.
I could list the pages of hardships that some
days consume me. Each, and every soul
and name who you have allowed me to come to connect to that are now gone. From those stepping up and showing us hope to
those within our bloodline.
To those in a passing glance. They, We are all yours and nothing
everything and everything has a time, a purpose and reason. Even if I; a little speck or molecule in
this grand universe never understands why.
As I am driven, laughing out loud independently,
or just trying to not let go of that spiritual war game I continually play with
you. Here Lord I believe; no wait I
think I have this or that which will make it all better.
From those I watch suffering with addiction
that there is no way I can ever fix and just need your strength your direction
when to hold on and when to let go. For
everything I am and ever will be is the blessing of and from you!
All the favorites or all the things I run
from. None of it matters without you
Jesus Christ. And all the Sweet Souls
you as a king allow to come be part of this journey.
Watching, Waiting all the while beating myself up by doing too
much or nothing at all.
Thinking about selling out and making
everyone grow up and learn the lessons of life and appreciation and stop being
the safety net.
Beyond blessed Abba, then in the forest of
darkness, in the spinning of searching and chasing love and direction or here
in now knowing what I know now and rarely thinking if I only knew then what I
know now would I have ever done anything differently. I don’t think I could ever answer that
honestly.
For the steps given in the climb I have had
or the wait as if someone’s life partner is off to work and you know they are
coming back if not in this world the next.
None of it matters to anyone but us in the depths of our own souls.
We!
You Jesus and me. I am yours and
there is nothing I can do about that.
Nor would I ever want to change it.
Knowing I would never want to lose the blessings you have allowed me to
get back up.
Privately in the dark always comes to
light. In the light always bring the
shadows of darkness fighting to consume the joy you give. Not always for the goodness of God but you
Jesus always win~
You have picked me up in so many places in,
so many pieces how could I not believe Jesus?
Your love flows through all that I am and so
spiritually deep. Looking in the
rearview I will never forget where I came from and all the little puzzle pieces
that make up this grand façade. But the
strength during those moments of missing the colors of souls that brightened my
days you fill with hope and reason I never have to question.
For me my life is proof I never have had to
fight alone as anyone who comes to you Jesus and truly gives all they are to
all you are. Your Promise fights with
us, for us and in time which at times we never even know occurs until one day
we look around and realize it’s all about you and not our ourselves.
The journey of wanting more, the best for us;
for our loved ones. There is nothing
wrong with that. But when we try to use
what we are chasing to fill those deep gaps and voids all we do is destroy the
truth, the way and life as we set ourselves up to think we need any of it to
live.
I am in great appreciation for so many who
have dedicated their careers and become worldly icons to so many and lost their
freedoms of the simple things. Yet feel so empty without you.
Fill them up Jesus!
May every knee bend and every face down and come
to know you now!
Not in war, not in pain, not because
something terrible has to occur and they are made to shift and fight the demons
and choose. May just once the world
see you and your gift of love, light and life just be…
Waking in the wee hours each day still not
doing what I should I am no better; yet I could be worse.
Daily devotional and conversations then diving
into what this world says I must do to carry on.
Blessed even on the moments I just want to
sit in your lap and let you hold me like a child and feel what I never knew in
this very existence.
All the while knowing you hold me now. Thank you for allowing me to be alive.
Through all that I was, all that I can be,
all that I am. Always just me. Thank you.
I don’t know what great things will happen
come 2024. Peace and the end of
war. Healing. Or darker things than ever before.
No matter what Lord lead the way. Your will be done in everything and everyone
I have ever been given.
Heal and give strength through the mountain climbs
and the valley lows.
We need you.
I need you.
May the gift of Christmas day reveal you in
every aspect, signs of wonder, even in the people’s dismay.
Jesus’ forever is never long enough to
understand the blessing of the Spirit, the Son of God, once a walking this earth
Man.
Thank you for another year. Any pain allows me to remember I will never
suffer as you have. Any darkness allows
me to run towards the light.
All of it allows me to know the blessings I
am still alive.
Merry Christmas All!
And though I am not sure the truth I like
finding fun facts so here you go
