Wonder…
GO
As the Advent season is getting underway
I am praying that our family will begin to wonder as never before
That through our Jesse Tree study we will begin to truly wonder at the amazingness of God
That His gift of a little child, His only Son would spark wonder in our hearts and our daily lives
So much so that it doesn’t end in 26 days, but would continue on….
Wonder that is so captivating, so powerful that it grasps our hearts and never lets go
Wonder that God who is I Am, would care enough for us to send His Son as Man
To a stable in a manager, to a lost and dying world, to a cross filled with nails
To a tomb covered with a stone, to rise again and return Home!
Wonder….
I am filled with awe struck wonder……
That I pray would never leave…..
That God loved me…..loved my family…..loved you enough
To send His Son to be born, live, die, and rise again
For me……
Wonder…….
Awe struck wonder……
May this Advent Season fill you with wonder of our Father’s love for you.

It’s easy during Christmas to gloss over the incredible impact of that baby in the manger. Thanks for the lovely post!

It’s so easy to lose the true meaning of Christmas among all the frivolity in the world. it’s so important to keep our eyes on the Lord and remember the true reason to celebrate because through the birth of Jesus, we gained salvation through Him!!
