I will praise Him

"Hallelujah! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heavens. 

Praise Him for His powerful acts; 

praise Him for His abundant greatness. Praise Him with trumpet blast; 

praise Him with harp and lyre. 

Praise Him with tambourine and dance; praise Him with flute and strings. 

Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with clashing cymbals. 

Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.

 Hallelujah!

 (Psalms 150:1-6 HCSB)

"I will praise Him, I will praise Him, 

Praise the Lamb for sinner saved. 

Give Him glory all ye people, 

For His blood has washed away each stain."

Thank You Farher for sending Your Son to enter this world as one of us, 

Yet completely above us and lived the perfect, sinless life before us so we could have a path to follow here on earth. 

This Season isn't about gifts in the physical realm, however nice it might be to be both a cheerful giver, and gracious receiver.

 It's about THE only gift that lasts for all of time and eternity, our souls eternal destination. 

Without a PERFECT sacrifice we would have no hope, no peace, no joy, no love, no faith, nothing to hope for. 

Our hearts and lives would have no meaning and we would have nothing to give. 

But because my Heavenly Father looked on us with compassion and hatred in the same breath, He sent the ONLY perfect sacrifice to be born of a Virgin in the midst of complete and total cival unrest. Humanity has always been a race of angry people, today is no different than it was a few thousand years ago. 

It's still just as ugly and scary, yet just like at that time when hope began, today hope is still available as a gift of a risen Savior to change and make us clean and brand new. 

I remember that ugly heart and broken spirit of a miserable woman, who thought all hope was forever lost. But The Holy Spirit spoke conviction into my soul. Loved me until all that mattered was getting saved, sins forgiven, restitution a made, and a new life began. 

It was my soul, like a newborn babe, crying, grasping,stumbling, learning how to walk, eat, talk, the things not of this world. 

What a blessed woman I am as I sit here tonight, and I'm ashamed to admit, I'm still messing up, but thankful He isn't finished with me yet. 

So thankful for the little baby Jesus, Lord help me to keep focused on this season and give unto others as You have given to me. 

I'm so thankful our circumstances don't dictate our joy!!! 

No one can steal it, we must willfuy give it up. Well I'm not by the grace of God!! 

I pray you all are reflecting what this season really means as you hussle and bussle around the friends and family God has blessed you with. 

I'm blessed to be spending another Christmas season with my family. 

Blessed to have a Grandma to go visit and love on, a Mother that I can talk to about anything. A husband that I love with all my heart, he is my best friend and is first only after God in my heart and life, three beautiful young ladies I'm privileged to be called "Momma" by, they are my world as well. 

List could just keep going!!!

Stop and count your blessings, I promise you have more to be thankful for than to complain about! 

Looking unto Jesus!!
