I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–82)

Merry Christmas
Friends, Family and
Followers of Walking by Inner Vision.
Thank you all for sharing a few lovely moments with me today.
Welcome into my home on Christmas Day. We have gathered here form miles around to play games together, eat delicious foods provided by everyone here, and to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, our Savior.
Before we begin our festivities, I will light the final candle on our Advent Wreath.
the WHITE ONE is the Jesus Candle. When I light this candle it signifies that Jesus is born.
To begin our celebration I have written a few passages from the Bible.
And, I am linking you to a couple of songs that will bring joy to your heart today.
We celebrate this day together because of a miracle that happened over 2,000 years ago. God came to Earth in the form of a newborn baby boy.
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 9:5 Read it Here!
People around the world continue to look for
PEACE in all the WRONG PLACES
Peace does not come because of a political or social movement.
Peace does not come through protests and riots.
Peace is not something that can be bought or sold at any price.
PEACE is a person.
Peace comes only through knowing Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life and your eternal soul.
Peace comes to those who humble themselves, repent of their sins; ask for forgiveness;
accept Jesus Christ into your heart; turn around to walk in a new direction.
Jesus Christ, is the Prince of Peace
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
I personally gave my life to Jesus when I was 15 years old.
I became “born again” when I asked him to come into my heart, and I confessed my sins, and I accepted his PEACE.
HIS PEACE is everlasting, in all areas of our life.
I invite you to find the only PEACE that this world will ever know.
He is the Prince of Peace. We will find PEACE only when we have invited the PRINCE OF PEACE to dwell in us.
Peace is not found in the world – and never will be.
Sarah Harris sings, “Prince of Heaven.” Click here to listen!
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, please pause and close your eyes for a few minutes.
Whisper the name of “JESUS” and find the PEACE that passes all understanding.
