Merry Christmas!
“No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
he comes to make his blessings flow
far as the curse is found…�?-Isaac Watts
Well, it looks like this will be my last post before Christmas (and probably my last before the New Year). I hope that your Christmas is wonderful and that you are continually astounded by our Savior’s incarnation.
May the Lord bless your Christmas and New Year!
“And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.�?BR>Mark 2:17
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with
whom he is pleased!�?Luke 2:14
‘…[Simeon] took [Baby Jesus] up in his arms and blessed God and said,
“Lord, now you are letting your servant
depart in peace,
according to your word;
for my eyes have seen your salvation
that you have prepared in the presence of
all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.�?Luke 2:28-32
As a humorous side note: The snowman pictured above was built by our family (yes, I know�?but it was an attempt!) when we were on vacation three years ago. We built it, left our cabin, and went out shopping (or something). When we arrived back, we looked around for our precious snowman. He was in the yard across the street, and they had replaced his berry-mouth with peanuts. Tragic. The main question we wondered was: who steals a snowman!?
