“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2: 8-12 ESV
As I read this passage of the first Christmas story, I was reminded of several things. Observations from recorded events about 6 – 4 BC
When was the last time the Lord spoke to you? What was the result when you listened and obeyed? Open your ears, heart, and mind to what God is saying to you this Christmas Season.

Our hearts are breaking for the people of Ukraine and all those affected by the actions taken in eastern Europe. God directs us to pray for others, and specifically for those in authority.
I hope to gather enough people to pray for this situation continuously, over the next 16 hours, in 10 minutes intervals. We will pray specifically for all those in Ukraine, Russia, and the rulers of countries making decisions that will affect the outcome of this conflict. Will you join me? We will being today, February 25th at noon and conclude tomorrow at 4pm. Although some may want to sign up to pray further into the day(s) ahead. If you commit to joining me, I would love for you to email me at discerninghearts@gto.net with your first name and the time that you will be praying. Let’s pray for God’s blessings, direction, and wisdom. Have you known the power that comes from reading, meditating on, and memorizing God's Word. It truly helps against the attacks of the evil one?
