A gift from the heart of the Lord through the heart of the giver.
Each year the format provides "light," as well as "encouragement," through 12 Days of Christmas.
This year, like all years, the theme is unique. This year's topic is especially apropos because giver and receiver have prayed and weathered many storms together understanding that storms filtered through His hand can make us stronger.
Gems Gleaned thus far:
- Weather Words used metaphorically in scripture can give insight and new perspective.
- Stormy circumstances are inevitable.
- The Lord is in the storm----in Psalm 29 His name is given directly 18 times.
- It is incorrect to assume that storm/suffering occurs because it's beyond God's control.
- In storms of life, Jesus is our "safe room."
A "peek" ahead found this shining jewel. "Better to go through the storm with the Lord than to have smooth sailing without Him. (ODB. Fisher, 5/25/13)
What a gift, indeed!
