Stepping Down,
Stepping Out,
Living In The Light!
Zechariah 9:10
He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the warhorse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations; his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!
Words of Grace For Today
As the nations wage war, as conflicts consume lives from billions to one single person by another, and as the Devil plays in God’s good creation:
God comes and commands that there be peace among all nations and for all people, for God favours us all.
The sun rises shining bright, lightening hearts and minds in these short days and lately these cloudy days.
The temperature rises to above -20⁰.
And small successes provide music worth listening to this season, blessed music that is not Xmas musak.
Christ is born this evening (we celebrate again the event of more than 2000 years ago.)
And there is cause to celebrate life in all it’s chaotic complications, time to pray for those close and far, and even for those who are bent on destroying me to cover their lies and injustice, and time to rest in God’s peace that permeates all.
What else would one do on Christmas Eve

if one is not caught in the manufactured celebrations and all the pain that go with them?
