Now when he had spoken, a Pharisee asked (invited) him to have lunch with him, and he went in and reclined at the table. Luke 11:37
Christmas is the time of the year when we seem to get many invitations. Invitations to lunch, invitations to dinner, invitations to catch up with friends, invitations to attend various church services and carols in the park and some invitations even come with a gift. But the greatest invitation, the greatest gift, is the one from Jesus who so often says, ' Come aside and sit with me awhile.' In the business of Christmas preparations, lets not forget to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Lets not forget his invitation, and his gift to us of hope, of peace, of love and of joy.
Jehovah - shalom. The Lord is peace. Anne, servant of the Lord.
God's gifts to us.
