Today is the Tenth Day of Christmas
Daily Office Readings for Monday January 3rd: Year 2
Morning, Psalm 68; Evening, Psalm 72;
1st Kings 19:9 to 18; Ephesians 4:17 to 32; John 6:15 to 27:
“That is not the way you learned Christ!” (Ephesians 4:20)
Paul reminds the Church in Ephesus (and us) that we have moved on from the old ways of looking at life, as he says “Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart:” (Ephesians 4:17 to 18). We too want to let go of old ways. Listening leads to learning; learning leads to loving; and loving eradicates ignorance and hardness of heart.
Let us always listen, learn, love and lead with the mind of Christ. Merry Christmas: Day 10
I pray that we too may come to the realization that we should not have any pride in our so-called racial make-up, but be happy and thankful for being children of God. Merry Christmas: Day 9
May your Christened name be blessed forever. Merry Christmas; Day 8
We thank you Lord Jesus for being born like us, for us, and saving us. Merry Christmas: Day 7
If being forgiven is the greatest gift we can ever receive from someone, then it is also the greatest gift we can ever give to someone. Merry Christmas: Day 6
It is an extraordinary gift we have, to believe. All Christians need to live into what we believe. Merry Christmas: Day 5
We are never to hurt or harm children, only help them, teach them, save and love them. This is what Christmas is all about. Merry Christmas: Day 4
The testimony of John the apostle about our Lord Jesus is true; Believe. Merry Christmas: Day 3
Let us not take our hate or ill will for another with us to our mortal death. Merry Christmas: Day 2
Our being saved has as much to do with the birth of Jesus as it does his Resurrection from the dead. Merry Christmas: Day 1
As we listen to what the Spirit is saying to us, let us live to love, to serve, and to teach, while pondering anew what the Almighty can do. John
