Isaiah 9: 2, 6
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
Those who lived in a land of deep darkness –
on them light has shined.
For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
Authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

“Father, today I celebrate the reality of Your presence in my life. I celebrate Your birth, Your life, Your death and Your resurrection. And as I celebrate, Lord, help me to be "God with skin on" to those in need around me. Open my eyes and let me see them as You see them! I love You. Happy birthday Jesus! In Jesus name, amen.” - Mary Southerland, “Girlfriends in God”
