Respite For the Weary
Here we are in the beginnings of the Christmas season, and I already feel surrounded by lots of the swirling and twirling activities that accompany the season.

Will I choose Jesus or will I choose the season?
I invite you to join me in reading the 25-day devotional, "Who is this Jesus and Why did He Come?". Each day, 5 defining verses are provided for you to "be still in" during the rush of the holy-days. This small booklet can be found on-line at www.respitefortheweary.com.

Dear Lord God,
You have poured out your grace, mercy, peace, truth and love through your Son; and we have access to all these things, at all times, through your abiding Spirit. Thank you! May we daily live within this abundance. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
