Day 168 - Fathers Contribution

Todays message at church I listened to on my iPad.  I loved the Christmas music.  In the sermon Pastor Morris made a statement which I found insightful.  "The sins (iniquities) of the father are visited on the children and for generations.  Interesting it did not say the sins of the mother.  This is worth noting because the same is true for the opposite.  The blessings of the father are visited on the children.

Lord, I am very grateful for your provision of blessing we can tap into by owning our position as your child.  I yearn for your blessings in my life.  I also submit my earthly fathers sin and ask for the blood of  Christ to cover any issues which would affect me.  Amen

So as I take time to finish putting colored paper decorations on this tiny tree I am reminding myself how wonderful the birth of Christ is for the believer.  His coming is huge for the unbeliever also, yet they don't know it and haven't appropriated it in their life.  It will be a great climb today as I begin up this path.

The foliage here is much more dense and it feels more like a rain forest.  I am so eager to see what awaits.  But like anything, I can't experience it till I start moving.  So I get my backpack in place and set off.
