Happy Birthday , Baby Jesus, Sweet Prince of Peace

      



  "For unto us a child is born, 
 
    Unto us a Son is given.
 
    And the Government shall be upon His  
    shoulder;

    And His name shall be called Wonderful,

    Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,

    Prince of Peace." 

                              Isaiah, Verse 6

Of all those names by which Jesus is referred, I like Prince of Peace the best.

It's so wonderful to have peace, isn't it?   Wouldn't it be great if there were complete peace among all family members, neighbors, co-workers, and in laws ? 

Imagine what our world would be like if peace completely reined.

The one place we have the ability to make sure there is peace is within our own hearts. We do that by forgiving those who have hurt us, throwing criticism of people, places, and things, out the window, and concentrating on our spiritual natures.

Today and tonight, the day and evening before the celebration  of the Baby Jesus' birth, my most fervent wish for you, dear readers, is peace in your hearts.

That way, we can truly celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace.
