I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
always in every prayer of mine
for you all making my prayer with joy,
because of your partnership in the gospel
from the first day until now. And I am sure of this,
that he who began a good work
in you will bring it to completion at the day
of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:3-6 (ESV)
For the past 3 evenings, we have taken 5 Christmas cards each night and have prayed for the individuals who sent them to us. It's been a vivid reminder of God's blessings in our lives and that of the family and friends who sent the cards.
I must share that as we have prayed each night, each of us have recalled specific acts of kindness that we have received from these precious people. It's like opening up the "blessing vault and finding great treasure." The enemy would have us become so busy that we neglect prayer and supplication for others.
As to how you utilize the Christmas cards, that will depend on you and your family. There is not a right or wrong way. Some families pray when they first receive their cards in the mail.
My challenge to you and your family is to begin TODAY!
