Proverbs 17:1

“Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.”

In today’s thirsty society, bigger, better, and more is celebrated. And we are encouraged to chase after material wealth with the promise that possessions and abundance will bring us happiness. Yet Solomon had all the fame, power, and things money could buy. And even he understood the importance of contentment and peace. For even though it’s been said many times before, money can’t buy happiness. And no fancy meal, designer clothes, or social media following can replace the treasure of a home filled with harmony and love. In a world consumed by constant striving, Solomon reminds us that true satisfaction can be found in simplicity and a peaceful environment. To appreciate the value of a humble meal where love, understanding, and serenity prevail. This world is filled with division, anger, and strife. Yet we can can cultivate an atmosphere of peace and gratitude, finding fulfillment in the simple joys that nourish our souls.

December 16th – Luke 2:8-20

Luke 2: 8-20

The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was a once in a lifetime world changing event. So you’d think God would reveal the glorious happenings to kings, scholars, and the prominent religious leaders of the day. But instead, God announced His gift to the world first to the lowly, simple, and outcast. Shepherds were considered spiritually unclean. Yet temple shepherds tending the unblemished lambs to be sacrificed, were the first to hear the news. How fitting. Because Jesus is the Lamb of God, with no blemish in Him to be found. The Lamb who came for to save the hurt, poor, downtrodden, and outcasts. The ones the world throws away, Christ gladly wraps in His arms of love, and extends His unmerited, amazing grace. So this Christmas, and everyday of the year, I give thanks for the wonderfully good thing the Lord did for me, and every other sinner in the world.
