Tonight we are having
a Christmas service at Hopewell church at 7PM. I am really looking forward to
it. It may seem at an odd time, but I believe anytime is appropriate to
acknowledge, worship, and focus on Jesus. Don't you?
We had an early
addition to my family (a granddaughter) at this time last year. She came 18
days early but was such a blessing to all of us. She is my son's first child,
and there are a lot of questions and nerves. We know that God will see them
through them all.
Just like He did over
2000 years ago to another couple with lots of questions and nervousness - Mary
and Joseph. On the original Christmas Eve's Eve they were travelling far from
their home, very pregnant, and much "not knowing" - where they would
stay, what the future held, bringing up the Son of God!
God saw them through
it all and we now have Jesus to celebrate at Christmas and all year long. Today
let's praise God for always being there for us when we need direction, love,
and hope.
Share God's Christmas
story with someone today. Amen?
