A Family Advent Day 17

(Dr. Seuss - How The Grinch Stole Christmas)

“Then the Grinch heard a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low, then it started to grow.
But the sound wasn’t sad. Why, this sounded merry.
But it was merry. Very. Somehow or other, it came just the same!
Mr. Grinch?
And the Grinch, with his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow…stood puzzling and puzzling. How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
And he puzzled and puzzled…till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
Maybe Christmas-he thought–doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more.
Help me! I’m…feeling!
And what happened then–Well, in Whoville they say…that the Grinch’s
small heart grew three sizes that day”

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. {Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬}

In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land. {Jeremiah‬ ‭29:12-14‬}

Create in me a pure heart, God. Make my spirit right again. {Psalms‬ ‭51:10‬}

Trust the Lord with all your heart. Don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in everything you do. And he will give you success. {Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ }

May God swell our hearts today! Happy Thursday Family!
