Sunday - My gift to you!

I read this and thought this would be a great prayer for us all this time of year.

May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit restore your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you. I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God.




Thought for the day!

My brother Andy would have been 66 today - he's been gone for 15 years - so hard to believe. Happy birthday dear brother. I can't imagine what Christmas is like in Heaven - can you?

Wonderful words that apply to everyday.

The Boston Lady said...

I imagine Christmas in heaven is so wonderful because all of our loved ones who have left are together again. Fifteen years is a long time to go without a beloved brother. Ann

Sweet Tea said...

Amen. And Amen. :-)

Great prayer, Sandie. I especially liked the part that said: "I pray that faith enters a new height for you."

Oh yes - faith that restores my thoughts, rules in my dreams, and conquers all my fears.

Thanks for this one.

And, wishing you the very real sense of God on this day of remembrance. Andy is waiting for all of us to come home. I think he's thinking, "You think Christmas is great?? Wait 'til you see the eyes of the Savior Himself!"

Love you.
