I don't know what they were doing during that time; I never opened my eyes. I was having my own encounter with the Lord. . . .

Recapture the Wonder of Christmas
Do you stare in wonder at sparkling snowcapped mountains, or the shimmering feathers of a hummingbird suspended in flight? Do you gasp at the shifting colors of the sunset or the delicate fragrance of a perfect rose? Or do you take for granted God’s miraculous wonders? . . .

Enter In
I believe God is answering my prayers about what it looks like to “awaken love.” (See New Year’s Resolution.) Last night as I meditated on the topic, I told the Holy Spirit, “I fully yield to Your divine inspiration and leadership.”
