I added the little drawings of jingle bells to my Christmas ornaments.

"Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.  For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?  But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."

Romans 8:23-25

"God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,  where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

Hebrews 6:18-20

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 15:13

My Lovelies, be prepared for news coming at us fast this week.  Let's continue to pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 for our nation.  I love you all, and I appreciate your prayers, too.  

Thank God for the hope of heaven; let it strengthen, comfort, and encourage us today.

Until next time...

Blessings!
