A Christmas Card

December 21, 2025

I walk down the snow-covered sidewalk and then  step carefully across the icy patches on River Road.  the mail arrived and I anticipate opening the Christmas Cards that I know are waiting there each morning.

On the frigid days of late December, I must  give that latch an extra tug because it is frozen.    I am always delighted to see a colorful envelope among the pile of advertisements, and business envelopes.  I carefully reach in to gather the envelopes and carry them safely back to the house where I will begin to open the day’s mail.

For every season there is a time of planting and reaping.  I’ve discovered that for each season there is a harvest

In December, I consider each card that arrives  is welcome.  It’s always so delightful to open the cards, read the messages or letters, and remember  places and  faces and the times we spent together in the past or the recent present.  I cherish each card  and message  that arrives.

Today, I’ll be writing notes and sealing colorful cards into envelopes.

I walk back from depositing my cards in the mailbox with a little added zest to my steps.

Christmas Cards bring  JOY to my heart.

Bible Verse:

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

Prayer:

Lord, help me stay faithful where You’ve planted me. I send these Christmas Cards to friends across the miles and journeys of my life.  Let this card be a blessing to each person who receives it.  I  sow this Christmas Card as a SEED OF FAITH.  I know you  will bring a harvest of love to each person when it arrives at it’s destination.

_My Daily Action Plan:

I set apart some days in mid-December each year for writing personal notes on Christmas cards that will be sent to people I have kept in touch with for many years.

As the cards arrive, I will hang them around the doorway in my kitchen so that I see them every time I walk through my kitchen.  Each is a little treasure that arrived by mail.

After Christmas is over, I will put the cards in a basket.  Each morning during my prayer time, I will pull one card from the basket and pray for that person on that particular day.  The cards will remain in the basket for the entire year.

Did you know you can receive a Supernatural life change when you decide to follow God’s plan for your life?

We can pray for God to reveal His  blessings  for  our  daily life.

When you invite Jesus into your life, repent of your sins, and begin to seek God’s  council and begin to live your life in a new direction,  you will begin to experience the Supernatural  in everyday life. as we pray and read Gods Word, The Bible.

our life, and on the lives of everyone we pray for.

Each morning in my prayer time, I will pray for Old Friends who God brings to my mind.

Today’s Scripture:

A Christmas Card is a  Spiritual BLESSING.

² Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.  When I send or receive a Christmas Card, I recognize the value of friendships and the little card is a reminder that people still love to give and receive a Christmas Card.

My Testimony:

I am blessed with the awareness  of God’s calling on my life from my earliest years.

I asked Jesus into my life when I was 15 years old.  I am now 82, and I love to share God’s blessings  with others.

We all have a calling from God but, sometimes we don’t realize or recognize it for many years.

I recognize those moments of discovery  in my life journey.

God has gifted each of us  with something that is unique and personal. 

ASK Him to  SHOW  you  the gift and plan he has for you.  It’s an intimate  and perfect gift that will fit each of us  individually.
