Advent Reflection | Tuesday, December 8
Today’s A Weary World Rejoices story comes from Lynne Kroger:
During this pandemic I certainly have felt much weariness in my life. I am just retired and am used to being with and serving people. I discovered Jared Stellmacher’s Monday presentation Peaceful Reflections and this music has lifted my spirits. A Weary World Rejoices through this special music: Morning Has Broken, My Jesus I Love Thee and This Little Light of Mine.
Morning Has Broken reminds me of the joy of waking each morning to see what the Lord has waiting for me. I must remember to give my Lord thanks for the opportunity to serve Him and others.
My Jesus I Love Thee:
“I know thou art mine. For thee all the follies of sin I resign; My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou; If ever I loved thee My Jesus ‘tis now.”
This Little Light of Mine:
“This Little Light of Mine, I’m going to let it shine; this little light of mine; I’m going to let it shine; Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Don’t you try to blow it out, Hide it under a bushel No!; Hold it high, so all can see…”
These words remind me what I need to dwell on each day and lift my spirits high I received an email from a dear friend reminding me of one of joys, Singing with members of HeartSong. Not only the relationships of this group but bringing others the words of encouragement through the message of song.
I am thankful for the blessings Zoom brings every evening with my family in South Dakota, Minnesota, Louisiana and Wisconsin to see one another and keep connected in God’s love. I invite you to join PrimeTimers and “Coffee Cup” Zooms with Sarah Iverson.
Now God’s Blessings to all in this Advent Season as we await the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Psalm 147: 1-9
Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power, his understanding has no limit.
The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.
He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
