THINK+++

Thank you, Lord, for creating a time of year for family to come together and enjoy each other.

I want to be one of the wise men seeking the Child of God, and seeking things of eternal value.

Today would be the second day that Mary spent gazing at her new child, wondering what He would become. We do not have to imagine, the wonderful story has been told.

What a lowly and humble way our Saviour came but He has won my heart and has become my Lord and King!

At one point Jesus told the people around him that if the disciples should not praise Him that the stones would immediately break into singing. There was a time when the angels were allowed to praise Jesus and they appeared to shepherds many years ago. How their chests must have swelled with joy as they gave their utmost in singing.

Just as Joseph and Mary took a journey before the birth of Christ; may each take time to ponder the reason for Christmas in the midst of busyness.

I can not, and will not try, to please everyone. Sometimes a father has to make tough decisions and not everyone gets their way. But I will try to fill each ones’ cup of self-worth.

I want to live my life now and be in the present. When my mind strays to the regrets of the past or the fears of the future I will take hands with the now and make it the best day.

Today I want to take part in the things I believe in. Let me begin naming the things I believe in: love, family, joy, kindness, peace and mercy.

Life never gets better or worse; the best day is today so I will make the most of it.

Remember to accept today that I can only be me, and also that I am the only one like me.

Promise this with me for today (and every day): “I will focus on the positive in life”.

I have to accept today that I am not perfect nor will I try to be perfect but I will try my best.

Thank You, Father, for being wise; knowing everything. Help me to trust even when I don’t understand.

Thank You, Lord, for being perfect.
