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.

May our hearts be filled with God-thoughts, ones that lift you on high; for the more we exalt you, the less we exalt ourselves. We bless you and we praise you, our King of kings, Lord of lords, Mighty God, Prince of Peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
