Powerful PEACE

As we jump through December, with twinkling lights and cups of cocoa warming our hands, let's chat about a special time leading up to Christmas - Advent! 🎄✨ Advent is this cozy, beautiful season that invites us to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus' birth. It's a rhythm during this busy season to encourage us to slow down and soak in the joy and wonder of this season.

This week, the focus is on peace. Peace can be a powerful, needed interruption in the midst of a full calendar to rejuvenate our souls. It is a beautiful reminder that amidst the hustle and bustle, the peace of Christ is like a gentle snowfall that quiets the world and our hearts.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, 

Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Make it a priority to take a peace walk this week. Bundle up and take a leisurely walk in nature. Let the crisp air, the quiet, and the beauty around you be a peaceful escape from the holiday rush. Pray peace over your household and loved ones. Pray for peace in your community and our world. Listen for the voice of the Prince of Peace in your own life.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27

This week, let's invite the peace of Christ into our lives in simple, joyful ways.

May the Peace of Christ be yours!

Stay sparkly,

Lisa
