When things feel overwhelming, peace has to be a choice. God offers us a peace that settles our hearts and shapes how we treat others. ‘Peace on earth, goodwill to men’ is a reminder to let that peace live in us—and move through us. Merry Christmas everyone!

Numbers 6: 24-26 NLT 

May the Lord bless you and protect you.

May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace.
