On the 2nd Sunday in Advent I lit the second candle on our Advent wreath. Hope and Peace stood briefly (not marked or labelled like in the above image) but as twin Promises of the coming remembrance of the birth of our SAVIOUR.
I highlight them today as in my heart I know and pray that as the journey of Advent continues many folks will be reminded and inspired to- in their personal lives- be examples of the attitudes and gifts that came so long ago in the birth of this child. Sow Hope and Peace as you meet with others.
In 2025 as we celebrate another CHRISTMAS SEASON let us be reminded that our Saviour’s journey came to fulfill what was promised many, many years before that this was His first coming. UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN.
We are called to remember also that ONE DAY He will return to the Earth to complete His MISSION.
As the KING of ALL KINGS He will RETURN.
Journey onwards dear ones. Enjoy the Advent Journey and have a beautiful Christmas.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
PASSIONATE CREATIVE CHRISTIAN 
Thanks for the reminder, Faye.
