Wednesday Word for December 8th

7:59 AM by WBFJ
Hello, WBFJ friends! Under some hilarious circumstances, my four-year-old daughter, Lexa, continually reminds me of God’s goodness and grace. I am sure that you can relate to the fact that my December calendar is booked solid. Every day seems like a mad rush, with little time to savor the special moments leading up to Christmas. One evening, after an especially hectic day, I was rushing Lexa to get out of the bathtub. She loves the jacuzzi tub in my bedroom and was enjoying the opportunity to splash around in the bubbly warm water. In the same melody she uses to sing one of our mealtime blessings, Lexa began to sing, “Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful tub!”. Hearing her precious voice sing that song, reminded me just how often I take for granted the simple but wonderful blessings that God provides me every day. Needless to say, once I got in the tub myself, I took a moment to say a prayer of thanks, thanking God not just for the warmth of a relaxing bath, but for the warmth of His amazing love. My prayer for all of us this holiday season is that we can take the time to savor the joy of Christ’s birth and praise our loving Father for His many blessings, big and small…

Wednesday Word for December 1st

7:57 AM by WBFJ
There was a story in the news this week that just broke my heart.  A Thomasville man named Jason Powers was killed Sunday night trying to rescue his young son from their home which had caught fire.  When the fire began late Sunday night, the family escaped safely.  But, when they got outside they realized that their 2 year old was missing. So, Jason did what I guess most parents would do, he ran back into the burning building to look for his son.  After he had gone back into the home, the boy’s mother found their son safely outside.  Unfortunately, Jason had to be pulled out of the home by a neighbor and did not survive his injuries. 

What motivates a man to run back into the blazing building that he had just escaped?  Love.  Pure, undefiled, unconditional love.  It’s that same kind of love, on a much grander, supernatural scale, that propelled Jesus from the majesty and perfection of the Heavenly realms, down to our hurting world…to die in order to rescue us, his children, from the flames of hell.  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NIV)

So, this year as you are gazing at the precious, innocent newborn in the center of the nativity scene, know that He represents the  extreme, radical love that our Father God has for each one of us.
