WTWS 32 – 15 Of My Favorite Quotes This Holiday Season

With the holiday season, Christmas in particular closing in upon us, may we not forget the real reason behind the celebration. I’m trying my best to keep my focus on what it’s really about. It’s about God’s gift of love through the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. His birth many years ago, heralded a new order of Government and governance by which all men must come into subjection if we are to truly have and enjoy life everlasting. It is also a time when we demonstrate our love and appreciation to God through the spirit of giving to to others.

It is in that frame of mind that I have decided to bring some of my favorite quotes this holiday season as follows:

1.)  “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” ~ Isaiah 9:6

2.)  “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.” ~ Luke 2:14

3.)  “One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” ~ Proverbs 11:24-25
