The Birds of the Air: A Reminder of God’s Love for You
On our way to go Christmas shopping, the traffic was so slow I was able to roll down my window and click this shot of a bald eagle. He seemed oblivious to the stress and strain of shoppers clogging up the roads.
God has a storehouse of peace for us, too, if we’ll tap into it.
The best gift we can give to others isn’t found in a shop—it’s found in the Christ of Christmas.
Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26 NIV

In Christ
May our souls rise
on the hope
found in Christ
As we soar
above the worries
and trials of life
May our hearts
beat with confidence
found in Christ
As we fly
into the horizon
of eternal life.

On my other blog, I’ve shared some winter wonderland pictures from my home and garden. Here’s the link where you will also find a link to my latest podcast: What’s the Best Christmas Gift We Can Give?
Merry Christmas, dear friends. Will you be travelling during the holidays? Where will you be celebrating—at home? I’m nosy-to-know. My family of five will be staying—burrowed-like-bunnies–right where we are.

Love this. The reminder of His peace in the midst of a very busy world is just what I need. We will go to see the kids’ Christmas Eve play and then to Joe’s very large family gathering Christmas afternoon. A mix of excitement and nerves always with all that. But, I will keep finding the moments to find His peace. 🙂 I hope you and yours have a very blessed Christmas!
Thank you, Marisa. Your Christmas sounds overflowing with family & fun. May blessings of His peace and provision overflow in and through you, dear friend. He loves us, He is with us. <3
Thank you so much! Yes, He is and yes, He does! 🙂
Thank you for a year of encouraging and uplifting posts, Wendy
May Christmas be filled with love, joy and hope.
Thank you, dear Tracy. And congratulations on having your lovely colouring book featured. I also love the bonus picture you included in it.
Merry Christmas! <3
Very nice Wendy. Thanks and merry Christmas to you and your family. I will be traveling to work only, rain and warmer in Ohio…But blessed beyond measure!
Keith, “blessed beyond measure!” sounds wonderful. May that continue for you through 2017 and beyond. God is good no matter what’s going on–isn’t He? Merry Christmas. I’m enjoying dipping into your devotional book via my Kindle…I’m a slow but sure reader.
God is good for real. You five stay snuggled up. I appreciate your encouragement regarding the book. God bless and keep you.
Amen! Beautiful! Merry Christmas to you! We’ll be spending the day with our close-by daughter and family. SC son’s family coming Tuesday. Missing SD son’s family as this is the first Christmas apart!
Merry Christmas, dear Wanda. Enjoy your family time; hugs to you as you miss part of your family this year. xo My turn is most likely coming sooner than I think. <3
Merry Christmas and a Very Blessed New Year, dear friend.
