Dec 20 - Blessings

Not only is it a blessing to give birth to a child. The greater blessing is recognizing the Creator of the life that is so cherished. 

Elizabeth proclaims the blessing that Mary is receiving from God with the honor of giving birth to God's Son. Mary in return turns the praise and focus rightly to God with her song of praise.

When you experience the blessings of life, who gets the glory? 

Turn your eyes toward heaven and give praise and thanks to God for the many wonderful blessings that He provides to us each and every day.

At Christmas time the giving of gifts to one another is a celebration of the abundance that God provides us with. In giving our gifts to each other our thanks should always be directed to God first.

"Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men"

Christ in Christmas

Take time this advent season to re-align your focus on Jesus Christ.
He is the only reason for this season.

Take time each day to read the Scripture passage and to listen to the song.
