Blessings.

Oh, I feel so blessed and so full. The Christmas spirit is getting me really excited, and I am hoping that I will have to opportunity to share truth and encouragement with friends and family during this week as I get-together with them to celebrate Christ's birth. I encourage you all to count your blessings during this week. We are all so blessed. Sometimes we do not even realize it...and we take it for granted that many people are less fortunate than we. We need to be looking for opportunities to bless and share the truth with others, that Christ might be reflected in us.

I want not others to look at me and see "Miriam",

but Him. 

We can find joy in Christ, and count our blessings, even if: 

-things are hard.

-we are in pain.

-we do not feel like it.

-things are not going our way.

We can still find joy, and count our blessings, because Christ is still the same. He never changes. He will always wrap His arms around us, and embrace us with His love.

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
-Galatians 6:9
