Tone It Up for Christmas

Whether we like to admit it or not, we are emotion holders.  We carry the mood in our house (in our family unit).  If something feels off, out of wack, or emotionally unstable, it’s very likely the tone is coming directly from you.  Now this isn’t saying that YOU are the problem, but it definitely saying YOU are the solution!

With Christmas right around corner let’s take the time to enjoy the season.  Don’t get caught up in the hustle and bustle of shopping and decorating or getting frustrated and upset when you can’t find the Christmas tree stand as I did almost losing the joy for a
moment.  I realized at that moment, after looking into the faces of my loved ones that it is I who sets the tone of my home by my attitude. It's Ok if you burn the cookies - laugh - make another batch and give some away.  And it’s Ok if you can’t find the right color of ribbon for your tree.  Try something different, you may be surprised that something different turns out to be better.  Enjoy the Christmas season this year it comes and goes so quickly. I find myself more and more taking advantage of everything Christmas.  Hallmark Christmas channel, that’s me.  Bringing cookies to work, that’s me. Christmas Tours, that’s me. And making a hearty pot of my country chicken stew with corn bread muffins, that is me.  My family enjoys it. More importantly, always remember, Jesus is the reason for the season. He is the reason for Christmas and why I celebrate it.


So Ladies this Christmas let us not only decorate with ornaments, garland and lights, but let us be an ornament of love and His light everywhere we go.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...
