what do you wish for?

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

Our school play normally produced in Spring, moved to the first of December. ANY skepticism i had of our massive play-crew being ready, immediately vanished when i saw the amazing performance.  And what a perfectly timed production before CHRISTmas.  The magic of Aladdin was alive, energetic and relative to the season of giving.  After all, don't we all have wishes we'd like to come true?

As a recap, Aladdin first 2 wishes, to become a prince and to be saved, were for personal interest but his intended third and final wish was one of pure selflessness, to give Genie her freedom. His decision to fulfill it was almost nipped when his personal wishes appeared to go south.


Yet, in the end, he made the honorable choice of being true to his promise, and blessings beyond his dream erupted.

Father, as we prepare for CHIRSTmas, i pray my heart stretches beyond personal gain and to the comfort of those in need.  May our trust in You as our Savior, belief in Your Word and faith in Your will for us cause us to fully rely on You for everything.

What's better than a Genie in the bottle?  God in our heart. His goodness to us is unending.

Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
