An amazing movie. In fact your entire post today resonates with me for the very reason the movie resonated. That God is all things to everyone. What I took most away from the movie is and what everyone Jackman spoke with said is that God is Love.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing today and thanks to Martha for allowing you to guest write here today.<br />--<br />ChrisChris Jennings Pendershttp://cjpwisdomandlife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-50482711697437840792012-12-19T07:59:52.426-08:002012-12-19T07:59:52.426-08:00Yes, the significant often makes way for the spect...Yes, the significant often makes way for the spectacular, Susan!

I have always loved how the angels first appeared to shepherds and not kings and princes and also how he chose a poor inn-keeper's stable to be born. Humility is synonymous with the Christian path of life. And, yes, Emmanuel always dwells within us.<br /><br />Thanks for this message, dear Corinne.<br /><br />Joy always,<br />SusanS.

Looking for him in the wondrous. Looking for something magical to happen to ‘make my day.’ <br /><br />A couple of Sundays ago a friend called to sing the praises of the amazing church service she’d attended that morning. The music, oh the music… And I told her I’d seen him in the dusting furniture, scrubbing toilets, mopping floors, sweeping leaves… And she probably thought I was crazy ;-) But I did feel him with me throughout those moments of humble service, Brother Lawrence style. <br />Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-52966681453828089752012-12-18T10:52:54.407-08:002012-12-18T10:52:54.407-08:00Thank you Corinne!

Especially during the challenging ones - when anger, hurt and dissapointment arises.

I remember when I used to look to the sky and pray, seeking a far away God who looked down on me. But now I pray to a God who is not only with me, but in me. He lives through me as I work and play. He is an ever present help in time of need. He and I are one. <br /><br />"In this season of Advent, I believe that we are called to become more aware of our Emmanuel, God With Us, today and every day."<br /><br />Amen Corinne! Amen and amen. Sending love to my two soul sisters this holiday season and blessings bountiful. <3Leah Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424758000036417506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-67320272076176287062012-12-18T05:53:56.625-08:002012-12-18T05:53:56.625-08:00Corinne, beautiful post.
