silent night

Hi Everyone,

Happy Christmas and a Merry new year!

I just wanted to share a few about the Lord with you.  A lot of the time I have trouble sleeping, and I know one of the reasons for that is my wild imagination. Sometimes it leads me down the wrong path but sometimes I can imagine things that help me sleep.  I find that what helps me most is when I remember I am in His holy presence. I am at the feet of Jesus, before His thrown. Though the silence He assures me of His abundant love for me and of His gracious mercy, He reminds me He has conquered the world and all of it’s troubles.  I respond by gratefully giving Him the body mind/ heart/soul He made me and the life He gave me to serve my Master.  Then I can rest peacefully for He is trustworthy and deserving of eternal glory.  It’s like I am resting on an alter to the lord, a living sacrifice of love and worship.  My loyal satisfaction comforts me.

In the church where I grew up the youth group often went on a mission trip to Mexico. I always wanted to go but couldn’t. Now years later I get to go on a mission trip to Mexico.   I never expected it. 
God is so awesome! 
Will you praise the Lord with me?
