An Angel Appeared To Mary: Luke 1:26-33 (NIV)

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
 
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

 The Birth of Jesus: Luke 2:1-7 (NIV)

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.  (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.
 
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.  He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,  and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

 Jesus is the King of Kings: Matthew 2:1-6 (NIV)

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
 
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.  When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.  “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
   for out of you will come a ruler
    who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

Jesus is the Savior of the World: Luke 2:8-11 (NIV)

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
  
*The candy cane represents salvation: the red is the blood Christ shed for us and the white represents being cleansed by his blood and being washed white and pure. 

Jesus, in this Christmas Season, we celebrate you!

2. Choosing Your Focus


Hi Friends!

Thanksgiving is coming up in our country and it's a time to reflect on our blessings and to thank the Lord for all he's given us. I was thinking about how this totally goes with our new theme, "No Whaling or Whining."

When we first bought our house many years ago, we had tons of problems with it. We had termite damage, spider infestation and problems with our water sewer system. There were other things too but those were the main problems.

At the time, I began journaling a lot about all of my problems. I wrote pages and pages of complaints and I would re-read them over and over again, usually several times a week. I really thought that journaling like this would help me feel better about my problems but it didn't. Shocking I know! Ha!


At some point, I realized how draining my journal was on me. Maybe that's when the Lord got a hold of my heart and brought clarity to the whole thing. 

Journaling is good, don't get me wrong. I'm a visual person and I like to see my thoughts down on paper. Maybe your like that too. 

But now, I journal my thoughts, pray over them, and if they are complaintful, I give my problems to the Lord and rip them up.
 

I still journal today, but my journaling style has changed. Now it's sprinkled with funny things or memories I want to remember and blessings the Lord has given us. I'm not perfect and I sometimes go backwards and complain but I really try not to. 

Let's make this Thanksgiving season a time to start over. To hit the reset button and to stop ourselves when we begin to grumble and to be thankful for our many blessings.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 
Rejoice always, pray continually, 
give thanks in all circumstances; 
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
