The Lord Bless You & Keep You
Friends, looked at this way, the Priestly Benediction is an offering of Jesus Christ to us all. And, if Christ is given to us, then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we have the promise of the Father. This blessing is perfect (of course, this good thing did came from God), but it is perfect because it is a reflection of the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Rejoice!
I rejoice notwithstanding the misfortunes of the world. I rejoice, not because of what I see or because I am disconnected from the suffering of the world, but I rejoice because of the hope that God continues to give me to persevere through my trials. I rejoice because God continues to feed me with good things (physical and spiritual). I rejoice because God is faithful and just.

I should think in hearing those words, notwithstanding the circumstances under which they were uttered, I would have new life breathed into me.

Restoration
‘Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see?[…]’ ‘Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear?[…] ‘Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, Do you know what I know? […]’ In the above verse extracts from one of my favourite Christmas carols, […]

Wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…YES! FINALLY! Oh my goodness! I thought it would never happen. It seemed like I had been waiting forever!
