Respite For the Weary
Here we are in the beginnings of the Christmas season, and I already feel surrounded by lots of the swirling and twirling activities that accompany the season. Every year, I have to keep my heart in check, and consciously choose to Whom or what I will give my devotion. (Devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or a cause.) Will I choose Jesus or will I choose the season?
I invite you to join me in reading the 25-day devotional, "Who is this Jesus and Why did He Come?". Each day, 5 defining verses are provided for you to "be still in" during the rush of the holy-days. This small booklet can be found on-line at www.respitefortheweary.com.

Dear Lord,
If we see a need and we have the opportunity to fill it, help us to seize the moment and give generously. Use us mightily in this way so that your kingdom can progress. Open our hands and our hearts to support those who are spreading your good news around the world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
