Before ripping the paper off all those gifts this Christmas, do take time to read the real Christmas story from Luke 2:1-21 *Note: You can print off this Christmas Story Word Search that I created to do for fun on Christmas Day. Christmas Story Word Search Color Sheet: (Take a peek see if you like it!) https://media.publit.io/file/HCHGifts/Christmas-Story-Word-Search.pdf Taking time to ponder some of these things, like Mary did (Luke 2:19), concerning the birth of Jesus, I created sort of an Acronym for G.I.F.T. G.I.F.T. Feel free to use this for your own ministry or lesson with your children. G Glory to God “Glory to God in the Each one of us can think back to a time when somebody has wronged us. Mistreatment, unfairness, the violation of honesty, respect, consideration, etc. can cause agony, hurt and frustration in our lives. Jacob could easily identify with our frustration of being mistreated. He had been continually wronged by his father-in-law, Laban. Jacob discussed this issue with Rachel and Leah, And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. Genesis 31:6,7 kjv Then, we see that God revealed something special and personal to Jacob, For How well do you know the Lord God?

Obedience and Hearkening (Listening) And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. I Samuel 15:22 kjv Countless times, I ve been in stressful situations where I felt I couldn t handle circumstances on my own. I needed help. Please help me, Lord, has been uttered from my lips numerous times. Truthfully, I have almost felt sort of guilty with the simplicity of my prayer. Should I have taken time to construct a more eloquent speech with my prayer request? Psalm 119:86 kjv says, “All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.” When I read David s simple prayer, Help thou me, I felt a peace that my own simple, heartfelt pleas have been adequate at overwhelming times when I simply didn t know what to pray, In Psalm 107 we read of the Israelite people, who wandered in the wilderness (vs. 4) and experienced many distresses. I would say that with the current situation in our world today, many of us are facing some stressful situations, such as sickness, health issues, jobs, finances, loss of loved ones, tension and stress from political issues, and for many Christians, persecution is prevailing. Psalms is a great book to read at times like these, when we are faced with fear, frustrations, hurt and stress. Psalm 107 emphasizes FOUR times that God s people cried to the Lord, and God delivered them out of their distress. Then they cried unto the Rhonda White Jesus Follower. Wife. Mother. Daughter.
