Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Blessed day, fellow Christians celebrating our Lord Savior’s birth!
Savannah received one of her Christmas gifts early – because we really can’t wait!
She is learning that the funnest gifts are often not the most well-dressed under the tree. The funnest gifts are the envelopes that nest within the branches. This time – the TobyMac Hits Deep concert coming to Indy on February 28th.
There is a smaller band opening for TobyMac and David Crowder, called CAIN. Wanted to share this popular song of theirs. In the music video, excerpts of “The Chosen” are within. If you haven’t seen this series, please… take time to do so. You will fall in love with Jesus all over again in this beautiful depiction of His Life.
CAIN – The Commission
“Go tell the world about me. I was dead, but now I live. I’ve got to go now for a little while… but goodbye is not the end.”
It is my greatest blessing to have a God-loving Christian daughter. Spread The Love, The Joy, The Light.
Blessings and blessings, friends. Love to you all!
Crowder – Come As You Are
And this is daughter’s favorite – Ryan Stephenson will be there, too!
“To the captive, it looks like freedom. To the orphan, it feels like home. To the skeptic, it might sound crazy… to believe in The God Who loves. In our world where our hearts are breaking… and we’re lost in the mess we’ve made… like a blinding light in the dead of night… it’s The Gospel that makes the way.”
One more…
Ryan Stephenson – Eye of the Storm
If you read the comments below the song as it’s playing – this one really stuck out to me:
From Nancy Colyer “My daughter just survived Hurricane Milton in Sarasota, FL. As she and her family hid in their closet for 8+ hours, the winds were raging outside so loudly and fiercely and they could hear things hitting their steel shutters, the words to this song came to her and brought her comfort that God was in control. In the middle of the hurricane came the “eye of the storm” which was completely calm, still, and silent. Jesus brings these moments of silence in the middle of raging storms to remind us that He is in control and will take care of us. Praying for all those affected by hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and other natural disasters across our country and world to find peace and hope in Jesus.”
Okay – I can’t stop. It’s a CHURCH thing. This little lady will be there at the concert, too. Listen to this young lady’s voice lift up and Praise God! Whoooooaaaa….
Praise God through Whom all blessings flow.
Terrian – God Is With Us
Crowder – I AM
The church is not a BUILDING. The CHURCH is the PEOPLE.
Yay, so glad you are here, so that I can wish you and Savannah the merriest and most blessed Christmas, dear friend. ❤️
Merry Christmas and much love, lady!!! Glad to hear you’re spending time with grandchild and hubs. Blessings all around!
Bless you JWoo and have the best Christmas ever. You and yours, this momentous occasion. Ours to celebrate! 🙂
Thanks, Reed Walker. Blessings right back at you, dear one. Rejoice!
Merry Christmas, Woo and Savannah 🌲😘
Morning JWoo!
Beautiful Selections.
Blessed day, lindak!
I can’t help but SHARE… feels like you’re all grooving right along with me. So MUCH to be thankful for. GOD IS SOOO GOOD! Merry CHRISTmas, friend!
JWoo – Wishing you & Savannah have a very peaceful and blessed Christmas!
“It is my greatest blessing to have a God-loving Christian daughter.”
Yes it is a blessing. I pray for blessings for her mother (JWoo) who has raised her right. Not always easy in this day and age. I also pray for other parents as raising children can be the hardest but most important job anyone does.
“You Talk Too Much”
LOL.
Merry Christmas Lindak! I hope it is a joyous one – for you and yours. 🙂
Merry Christmas Reed!
🙂 !!!
Wah.

EVENING PRAYERS
Prayer For Grace At The End Of The Day
Heavenly Father, as the day is drawing to its close I ask that Your continued love and presence be with me and with all that are Your children in Christ. Guard us through the long hours of darkness this night I pray, and keep us safe from all harm and dangers that may try to cross our threshold.
Give us, I pray, an untroubled night of rest and quietness of heart. May we be refreshed and renewed in body, soul and spirit as we rest our weary hearts in You through the hours of the night.
Lord, I pray that by Your great grace and mercy, You would grant us untroubled sleep so that we may rise up in the morning strong to do Your bidding. May we all rejoice for the dawn of a new day, knowing that Your mercies are new every morning. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful night’s sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
Amen.

Classical Christmas music
I just snagged this from the other thread, in the hope others that didn’t catch it there, might here, and would enjoy it as much as I just have.
It’s the perfect blend of visuals and music and because “I’ve got a friend named Jesus” as the song sings.
In the spirit of our soon to be “officially” reinstated for his third term. Our POTUS and..musical backdrop provided by:
Norman Greenbaum singing! – “Spirit in the Sky”
How perfect. It’s the time of the season. Thank you, Lord 🙂
My favorite Jesus song and my favorite POTUS – wonderful.
God is Good.
Oh, this was a guilty chuckle of fun to watch 🙂

Approaching Notre Dame Cathedral @2:45 – the lady who had her LaLande Chapel restored by some of the same workers here… takes her cook to Paris for an Advent holiday (in thanks for a successful B&B season of guest meals) – gives us a little tour of some of the restorations inside the Cathedral; the stained glass is unbelievable
