   to prop us up, and to show us the way from the AH-HAs of Advent, through   
   the UH-OHs of Good Friday, and on to the Greatest AH-HA of them all--   
   EASTER! Advent is not a "let's pretend" game of thinking that Easter   
   has not happened No way! Easter is the real thing, right now. today!   
   What an attitude!

   blind eyes to see the needs and hopes of others. Keep giving us an   
   attitude of gratitude. In Jesus' name. Amen ... and AH-HA!   
      
   Read Psalm 146   
      
   Psalms 146   
      
   1 Praise the Lord!   
   Praise the Lord, O my soul!   
   2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) While I live I will praise the Lord;   
   I will sing praises unto my God while I have my life.   
   3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not put your trust in princes,   
   nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.   
   4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;   
   on that very day his plans perish.   
   5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,   
   whose hope is in the Lord his God,   
   6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) who made heaven, and earth,   
   the sea, and all that is in them,   
   who keeps faithfulness forever,   
   7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) who executes justice for the oppressed,   
   who gives food to the hungry.   
   The Lord releases the prisoners.   
   8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;   
   the Lord raises those who are brought down;   
   the Lord loves the righteous.   
   9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord preserves the sojourners;   
   He lifts up the fatherless and widow,   
   but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.   
   10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The Lord shall reign forever,   
   your God, O Zion, unto all generations.   
   Praise you the Lord!   
      
   From  On Eagle's wings   
   A Blessed Advent Season   
   13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy   
   and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,   
   through the power of the Holy Spirit.   
      
   [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that   
   ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.   
   Romans 15:13   
   The ministerial journey up north in Canada calls for dependence on   
   God’s leading, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and learning to trust   
   God at all times.   
   The dark and extremely cold winter weather are some of the biggest   
   challenges - among many others. Yet it calls us to hold firmly to the   
   message of God’s hope, peace, joy, and love.   
   We find ourselves now in yet another celebratory time of the year,   
   the Advent Season. This is a wonderful spiritual season of   
   preparation, engaging our hearts and minds in prayer, reflection,   
   and deepening our spiritual life.   
   In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, St. Paul says:   
   "Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all   
   circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."   
   It is important to develop and maintain a consistent mindset of joy,   
   making every effort to remain in constant connection with God   
   through prayer and an intimate relationship with him.   
   A true Christian life is revealed in a life of thankfulness, even in   
   difficult times, as a reflection of one’s identity in Christ. A believer   
   expresses a heart full of gratitude for God’s presence, provision,   
   and grace, even in the midst of dark days of suffering or grief.   
   I echo the words of the Apostle in my prayers for you this Advent.
