Koresh?
Happy Birthday, General Flynn
I suppose if you base your joy on physical circumstances and material goods, then it would be a rotten Christmas.
Just the opposite for this anon. So far, this has been one of the best Christmas' of my over-a-decade-long life, despite all that is going on.
I admit, I''m really weary at the moment, but I cant deny that fellowship with friends and family this season has meant more to me this year than ever before. No stress over what Christmas dinner food we eat, or even if we eat it; same we with gifts, decorations, etc. Perspective. Hope you find it, anon, andMerry Christmas
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
