40Days Of Gratitude With Bev Allen - Day 36: Grateful For The Christmas Season

T'is the season, busy
coming and going
Welcome to 40 Days Of Gratitude day 36!  Thank the Lord, today we complete week 5, and now have 3 days of focusing on our blessings and not our problems before the big day which is CHRISTMAS and 4 days to complete the challenge; that will be FORTY DAYS of being GRATEFUL!!   Thank sharing this awesome experience with me. I am looking forward to reading your comments and sharing your stories:  Revelations, problems solved, ideas conceived and birthed etc.

At the end of the devotion I invite you to do a short quiet reflection of 5 - 10 minutes. Breathe deeply and focus on your breath - inhalation and exhalation.  If your mind is "busy" repeat the gratitude of the day or your own personal gratitude that comes to mind.  This quite time will allow you to hear from God.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Today I am grateful and thankful for the Christmas Season.  I don't know about you but it always amazes me how the Christmas season changes the mood. And all this despite the hustle and bustle and frayed nerves it is still exciting. It really is a delightful time of year where the central theme is Love and everyone makes an effort to be nice. Well, maybe not everyone, but you know what I mean.  If only we could manage to carry over the sentiments throughout the year it would be so amazing.  So, here is my challenge, what if we each tried our best to remember to think of why we celebrate Christmas and remember that Jesus was not only born but he live and then he was crucified so we can have eternal life.  Yes, he came to redeem us from our sins so I must remember to remember this everyday of the year.



THOUGHT TO FOCUS ON:

I will remember to carry over the Love and happiness of the Christmas season every day of the year.

SCRIPTURE:

John 3:16 (TPT) For this is how much God loved the world - he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift.  So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, Thank you so much for your only begotten son Jesus Christ and the opportunity to celebrate his birth.  It is a time of year when practically the whole world shift focus to Love and caring for each other and it does wonders for the soul.  Father, many are not able to see or appreciate the season as they are overtaken with loneliness and sorrow; I pray that you will comfort the hearts of your people.  Speak to their hearts and send your special angels to minister to every soul that is in need at this time Lord.  In Jesus name I pray, AMEN πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

It's the season to spread joy!  If you see someone is down, or down on their luck try to be encouraging, and if you are able to be a blessing financially do not hesitate, do not hold back, do as the spirit instructs you to.  You will not regret it.

Grace & Peace,
Beverley
