Wonderful Christmas message post @fucho80. While I have had my challenges over the last few months my brother, to maintain much of an effort "in here" on our Steem blockchain, the highlight of my "journey" has long been meeting people like you.

From my family, our "Christmas card" to you, your family, and the flock over whom our Lord has raised you up as a shepherd:

"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."

"There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this."

Isaiah 9:6-7
[emphasis added mine]

What a marvel and a wonder that our Lord was born as a baby under the stars which He had created. And knowing man could not begin to understand (Philippians 2:5-11), walked among us for a time and then freely laid down his life that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10)!

I try to consistently think very simply about "what are you doing Father?" and then "what would you have me to do?" as a result. Still, in our weakness, we have doubts and fears about what we might accomplish. Thankfully, we have His precious promises and here in this wonderful passage the assurance that "the zeal" of the Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings will ultimately accomplish it - a perfect government in His perfect kingdom.

A gift to us all. One I would imagine you and your people, under their present circumstances, might appreciate far more than most.

Until "next time" my brother, may our Lord richly bless and strengthen you and yours!
