Jemma's Tales

Merry Christmas

December 24, 2016
I am sitting here today as the heavy clouds of Winter release a steady and soothing rain.
Stark and naked trees are silhouetted against an early morning sky.
Christmas Eve has arrived and is being welcomed by brilliant red cardinals and watchful hawks.
The hectic frenzy of Christmas preparations are coming to a close and it is now that the stillness of these precious moments remind me of what it is that I am to be focusing on.
The beautiful and miraculous birth of Jesus Christ.
His birth created a joy unlike any other and in those chaotic moments of daily living His presence is like a calming sea upon the soul.
I am reminded that my personal joy, peace, contentment and happiness are not dependent upon objects, hopes, dreams or people but on Him, and He never has nor will ever let me down.

My  Christmas wish for you is this;
May thoughtful people bless your life with soft spoken words of  kindness and gentle care.
May the dawn of Christmas day bless you with joy and a heart that is full of love.
As Christmas day unfolds it's gentle wings of magic and wonder, may the presence of that single ray of hope guide you gently through the end of this year and into the upcoming one.
Merry Christmas with Blessings and Love,
Jemma

    Good morning and MERRY CHRISTMAS morning to you dear Jemma! Your blessing is a twin thought of my giddy joy yesterday (and today) as I was home with my beloved, baking a cake, listening to Christmas music, decorating a bit, sending and receiving greetings and pondering most of all on the INTENSE love and gift of HIS birth. I was crying, smiling and praising HIM for this wonderful gift of grace and promise that yes, IS TRUE, will COME TO FULLNESS and is our salvation.

    Happy day to you as you gather with your family and a happy 2017 to you!
