The Peace of Christ

 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Colossians 3:15 ESV)
Most years, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are the most peaceful times of the year for me.  I am able to sit back and relax and enjoy all the blessings God has given me: family, their gifts to one another, and His Greatest Gift of All.  I bask in thanksgiving.  That's the way He wants it to be every day in our homes and in our churches.  He wants us to constantly thank Him for Christ who joins us together; we wants us to let Him be the peace that calms any calamity or conflict.  He wants it to be Christmas every day in our hearts, homes and fellowship.
