As far as I'm concerned, the most wonderful blessings in my life are my husband and children, but you're entitled to believe otherwise.

Blessed Be, and may the deities of Wicca and Druidry bless you.

May you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. May this season be filled with His blessings that He has commanded to come to your life. May you and yours have the hedge of protection as declared in Psalms 91.

May He also give you wisdom on how to share His love and light in such a manner that people see the light of Him through you but within Rule #8. Just as Paul was able to share the Gospel by talking about the statue to the “unknown God”, may you be able to share the light of Him to where people “know” and can make their decision about the love of God manifested in the manger that housed sacrificial lambs for He was declared to be the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (of course, within the context of my signature)

This is a great time where, in our faith, angels proclaimed “Peace on earth and good will towards men (mankind)”.

Hello and welcome to RF :)
I think you'll find a number of differences here about the spreading of Jesus' message - Luke 4:43 ; Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8
( Side note: I think it was Abraham Lincoln in referring to the biggest gift was the Bible )
The Bible of course is about Lord Jesus and his ransom gift for us - Matthew 20:28.
The Creator having No beginning according to Psalm 90:2, meaning God was before the beginning of anything.
Whereas, pre-human heavenly Jesus was "IN" the beginning but never ' before ' the beginning as his God was.
.... and a blessing to you rrohena - Numbers 6:24-26

I often hear the expression ' good will towards men....... '
But in the original isn't it: ' Peace on Earth towards men of goodwill. ' ( a difference in meaning )

That is one viewpoint. The NASB says it this way:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!

It is the exegesis that gives it different viewpoints.

14 δόξα sc. ἐστίν (indic., now that Messiah is born) not ἔστω impv. ὕψιστος highest, τὰ ὕ. the heavens. ἐν ἀνθρώποις among men or ἐν before dat. possibly pleon. to or for men §120. εὐδοκία favour, good-will, ἄνθρωποι εὐδοκίας a Hebr., gen. standing for adj. “men pleasing to him”, i.e. men in whom he is well pleased ⟦var. ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία good will among (or to/for) men⟧.
