Joyeux Noel

There are many different languages used around the world and Christmas is celebrated in many different cultures. In french, Joyeaux Noel can be translated to Merry Christmas.  There are many different ways to celebrate while we live one day at a time in the Christmas season. One fun event is a Christmas party. You may have a school Christmas party or a youth group Christmas party or a family Christmas party or an office Christmas party like the one I was able to attend tonight.

I work in a small office with a wonderful Christian boss. He and his wife had us over for dinner to their house tonight. It was nice. I work with great people and I love my job. It's nice to be able to enjoy your job and the people you work with and be able to socialize with them outside the office. I appreciate having a job and know that many people are without work and have trouble financially. The Lord is good and has blessed our family and provided all of our needs and many of our wants. I have a lot of reasons to be joyful.

Philippians 4:4 

 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice."

Romans 15:13 

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."

Whatever job you may have it can be considered your ministry. As Christians we should be the best employees ever. Do your best. And let the joy of the Lord show in your life and testimony to those around you.

Joy To the World

"Joy to the World , the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love."
