Today, I spent part of tonight watching the Christmas Special of "
When Calls the Heart"(produced by the Hallmark channel and purchasable by iTunes) with Daddy. The storyline penetrated our hearts with themes of faith, hope and love. We soon forgot about our disagreement and frustration with needing to replay parts to fill in the interrupted dialogue. We watched the
director's note that reminded us that faith, hope, and love is what binds us all with unity. Though Christmas is not always the most restful and worry-less, or including many presents and a room full of people, nothing can take away from what it is truly about.
"Love from God is the greatest gift we receive and greatest gift we can give is Love for others."
Thank you God for sending Jesus and giving us hope. Though, I have failed countless times, I am forever grateful for God's grace and love. I am thankful God put people in my life to love. We have the greatest role model for a purpose-driven life in Jesus. He is the greatest fulfillment of promise and act of grace. He is a friend to those in need, who is always there.
🎀 Prayer of Saint Francis 🎀
Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, Let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, Joy.
May it be in the heart to remember that it is a greater joy to give than receive. It is God who gave, for us to receive the greatest gift of experiencing a life with hope and purpose.
