My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Kenneth Petersen  … AT THIS LINK  -   tells of the Astronauts of the Apollo 8 mission to circle the moon, sending back photos of Earth taken from the moon (See photo) and also broadcasting a Christmas Eve message, quoting from Genesis 1:1-10 (Read Highlight Passage). 

Perhaps it would be a good idea, here in the Advent Season, to take a moment and listen to the linked song, and mediate, not only on the Highlight Passage, but also the Reference Scriptures above; and in doing so, reflect on the reality that God has created all He has created; and has accomplished His plan to send His Son to save mankind, to show His glory in creation and the fact that He has saved us to spend eternity with Him in glory.  I’m going with His plan; … how about you? 

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for giving me - and all Christians - a glimpse of Your glory.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to look around and see You, in all Your glory, as we see Your creation.      …  Amen
