Go and Be With the Children

On Christmas Eve, I returned home from a morning Nativity play rehearsal with our youth and noticed my furnace was not working. The temperature outside was near zero. I was on the phone with my sister and mother, and we started to pray. I, then, made a phone call to Jake, the repair man. After, I clearly heard the Lord, “Go to mass and be with the children. I will fix the furnace.”

God came up big as between Jake’s phone advice and Jesus’s clear direction, the furnace became “alive” and has been keeping me warm ever since. I shared this with my prayer warrior sister and Mom, and we are convinced our “prayers” made the difference.

I felt an overwhelming peace at mass as I witnessed our youth and choir give glory to God through the Nativity and hymns of praise and worship. Indeed, the best is yet to come…Jesus!
