Hope For 2012
Being a "child at heart," I have been thrilled that our family has had a younger grandchild around us as our other grandchildren mature. So Austin has had a lot of attention as we all help him learn. Teaching him directions, new words, how to read mileage signs, etc., one day he calmly said as I drove, "Gram, if you will just "focus"you can find your way." Good advice from a six year old, but for the the Advent season we have just met face to face, that is the message.
In the midst of the season, we looked for miracles and we even created them to see good things happen. . Maybe, those nativity scenes we placed in our homes helped keep us more focused on the reality that God wants to work miracles in our lives.
Perhaps, this year that word, focus, can keep us centered on Christ and energize us as we felt ChristmasEve. In the midst of chaos or just our daily decisions, God challenges us to focus on the positive. If trouble or set-backs come, focus. Follow the star that leads to Christ and keep the faith.
Focus on His grace and peace,
Irmgard
