God is in this place

"Whenever you feel distant from Me, say 'Surely the Lord is in this place!' Then ask Me to give you awareness of My presence. This is a prayer I delight to answer." Jesus Calling

Genesis 28:16 ..."Surely God is in this place. And I did not know it."

*****

We are never alone. God is always with us! Emanuel= God with us.

Christmas Reflections

This is my favorite time of the day during the Christmas season. I get a cup
of hot chocolate, put on some Christmas music, turn off the house lights, and
enjoy the Christmas lights. It is so peaceful and helps me keep the real reason
we celebrate in mind-- the birth of our Savior!





Spending time with God

"Remember who I am when you spend time with Me. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe--anytime, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted!" Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Colossians 4:2 Devote yourself to prayer, keeping alert with an attitude of thanksgiving.

*****

It is a true privilege to commune with God. That is what prayer is: God talking to me and me talking to God, anytime, anywhere. Amazing!
