“The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value!” (Quote by Charles Dudley Warner)
Merry Christmas! You were on my mind, so I want to present your with more than a greeting! I have a special a gift from me to you! Are you excited yet? It consists of three quotes, wrapped in love and tied with a bow of joy. Two parts of this gift are found in the opening and closing quotes; words written by others and they will give you something to ponder about on this Christmas morning. However, the primary part of my gift from me to you this Christmas morning is in the paragraph below. Like the other parts of the gift, it too was penned by another, but the primary difference is taken from the inspired word of God. Read all these words this morning. Receive them as personal. And on this special day, share them with your loved ones. Before you start reading let me say my usual salutation. Be blessed more…in addition to the following that is a definite blessing of good news!
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV)
“Don’t let the past steal your present. This is the message of Christmas. We are never alone.” (Quote from Taylor Caldwell)
Still committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
