A Continued Reflection...

A continued reflection of The Greatest Gift

of God's Son Jesus, who came to earth

to be our Saviour...

Below are the first words I read today!

AWESOME!! 

1 John 5:1-5 NKJV

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, 

and everyone who loves Him who begot 

also loves him who is begotten of Him. 

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, 

when we love God and keep His commandments.

 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.

 And His commandments are not burdensome.

 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. 

And this is the victory that has overcome the world—[a]our faith. 

5 Who is he who overcomes the world, 

but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Above is a picture of the Christmas Card I had hoped to send

to so many more than I managed to accomplish,

due in part, to the mail strike and in part to

simply not getting it done

If you are reading this, then know this card is for you,

dear friend, whether near and far! 

Thank-you so much for your kindness in 2024,

(but esp. since the loss of my sister Lucy on Sept.17)

For the Christmas season I turned my fridge door into a prayer-reminder board

for family, church-family and neighbours who 

are missing loved ones this Christmas💔🙏

Below, a tender poem dropped in my mailbox the other day...

Faith is no rigid religion

It rejoices and it mourns

It bows in willing subjection

Beneath Fealty's crown of thorns 

It believes, before beholding

It trusts God's eternal Word

It protects its mortal molding

With full armour of the Lord 

Looking, beyond this world's dwelling 

To a City yet to come

Faith seeks riches beyond telling

In the Soul's Forever Home

Faith, the substance of things hidden

Gazes at the Evidence

Jesus, come to earth from Heaven

To author faith's recompense 

 

Jesus cheers faith's transportation

With hope and joy in His Name 

Because the gift of salvation

Is the Reason Jesus came

Hallelujah!

Janet 🙏
