Make gratitude your new attitude.
The stars will shine brighter upon you.
All in your world will become lighter.

~ Contentment ! ~
* "Godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out."
- 1 Timothy 6:6-7
* You promise that all bad things come to an end!
Until then, Father, give me contentment with the
blessings I have and faith in tomorrow.
In Jesus name. Amen.
* I know You want the best for me, Lord, and You
will provide it. My job is to live my life in a
way that glorifies You. That is a blessing because You
have given me application to good purpose.
I choose to be content. In Jesus name. Amen.
* "Having food and raiment (clothing) let us be therewith content." - 1 Timothy 6:8

~ CHRISTMAS Gems ! ~
"SOMEONE once said to me, "You should not have a Christmas tree in your home, for it does not honor Jesus Christ." I began to think about why we did (and still do) have a beautifully decorated and lighted tree in our home and why it was so much a part of our holiday celebration.
The treetop star reminds me of the star that guided the wisemen to Jesus (Matthew 2:2), and of Jesus Christ Himself who is the "bright and Morning Star" (Revelation 22:16). Thank you, Lord, for the Star!
The lights tell me that Jesus Christ is the "true light" (John 1:9), who came into the world to shine in our hearts to "give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God" (2 Corinthians 4:6). Thank you, Lord, for the Light of the world who lives in my heart!
The different ornaments remind me of the ornaments with which Jesus Christ desires me, His child, to be adorned - a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4); good works that glorify my Heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16); love, joy, peace, patience and gentleness (Galatians 5:22-23). The ornaments are prettiest when they reflect the lights that shine on them. So, too, only as I live my Christian life controlled by the Holy Spirit who lives within me, can I reflect Jesus Christ to those with whom I come in contact.
As we decorate our tree this year, I will again be reminded of the faithfulness of the star who lives within my heart, and no matter what the situation or circumstance in which I find myself, His promise in Second Corinthians 12:9 is forever true: "My grace is sufficient for you."
