Emmanuel Award

Marie and Ginny at A View From the Pews have designed a new award honoring our fellow bloggers who share the true Christmas spirit. I am so honored to have been nominated for this award by Lisa at Are We There Yet, a favorite of mine because it offers such a variety of insights in this Christ filled family. To her I say thank you for the privilege of having been nominated for this award. And in the tradition of passing on the "baton", I'd like to nominate: Veritas at Prayer, Poetry and Praise. Her ability to write with tenderness and joy, and her obvious love of God has been a tremendous gift to me and has offered many reflective moments that I otherwise would not have had the opportunity to pursue. Advent is a time of reflection, and she offers us just that! God Bless!

Marie and Ginny's explanation:

Emmanuel Award"God With Us"

In a consumer society it is a blessing to read blogs where the writer's main focus is God. Where they express their love for their faith so visibly and joyfully.

In a cynical world it is refreshing to see so many blogs which are generous, giving, who care about others and demonstrate what being a Christian is about, loving God and loving our neighbor.

Through their faith, lives and spirituality, they bring God to us, they in essence make God visible, 'God with us.'

This Award goes to all the faith filled blogs who make evident 'Emmanuel'- God with us, with Joy in their hearts.

Please share this Award with Christian blogs that focus on the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior.

And for all of you I say, "Thanks be to God!!"

    I'm truly delighted with the nomination and your kind words, Grandmak. Of course I wish to congratulate you too on being nominated. It's very encouraging, and who doesn't need that from time to time.

    I think affirmation is the best form of encouragement. If humanity, individually and as a whole, was"affirmed" more frequently of its value, because it has been created by a loving God, just imagine the peace and tranquility!

    Christmas should be a time of joyful reflection. Our hearts should be leaping with JOY. Yet so many are wayed down by going into debt in order to buy presents.

    Let Christmas be a time of spiritual renewal and JOY not worry and anxiety.

    Thankyou for passing forward this Award.:)

    Peace & JOY to you:)
