Dear God,

You are already sending gifts of Christmas to my home. Today truth arrived at my door. Although stinging I watched the freedom it brought.

Perhaps the best Christmas gifts of the season are not those that rest under the tree but rather those that come directly from heaven. These last few days several of heaven's best have come my way. My husband and I have received them together.

The gift of truth has been one of many such presents. I have also received understanding, discernment, wisdom, love, hope, peace and joy, all gifts I had not expected a few months ago.

I am learning more about heaven's finest. My faith has allowed me to peek into the windows of your home. I have gazed upon eternal joy, the kind that keeps erupting in the soul. And I have found myself teary, not due to hopelessness or despair, but rather from knowing the depths of grace. I am blessed.

Let Christmas come
all year long,
dear God.
Make my home
always ready
to receive you.
Keep my soul
on alert,
knowing that heaven
can come
at any time,
any way.
Then please,
fill me
with praise
for your
divine love.

Love always, Andrea
