Hello, beautiful! On this Christmas Day, we pause to hear the bells of Bethlehem and celebrate the birth of our Savior—the Prince of Peace. In this Love Thursday devotional, we reflect on the angels’ proclamation of good news, the shepherds’ wonder, and the timeless message of peace on earth and goodwill to all. Through scripture, song, and story, we’re reminded that forgiveness and peace are not just gifts we receive—but choices we are invited to make. As the bells ring, may your heart soften. May old wounds find grace. And may Christmas love remind you that peace begins within and flows outward through compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. Settle in, take a deep breath, and allow the music of Christmas to meet you right where you are. 🎄 Merry Christmas, my sweet. And until next time…  Ignite inspiration, spread hope, and dance with faith.   With love, 💛 Heidi   🌿 Please Stay in Touch: 🦋If this episode resonated with you, support the podcast and share a tea! https://buymeacoffee.com/riselovelive 🦋 Follow along on Instagram @riselovelive 🦋 Subscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review!

Hello, beautiful! If you’ve ever struggled to find joy in a difficult season—or wondered how to feel God’s presence when life feels heavy—this Advent episode is for you. Today, as we light the rose-colored Joy candle, we turn to Mary’s vulnerable prayer in Breath of Heaven to remind us that real joy isn’t about pretending everything is okay.
