I want to get away from all the troubles and pains this
world is consumed with these days. Christmas is a time of reflection, time to
feel child again, time to wish for miracles in your life... Time to reborn and
start a better more meaningful life.
I don't know about others but Christmas time for me is the return to all I
love and cherish the most.
Have a Merry
Christmas

The Redeemer Is
Announced
From the New Testament of the Bible
Luke 1:26-38
"
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city
of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And
having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one,
the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"
But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying and considered
what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, "Do
not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. An behold,
you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call
His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the
Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father
David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His
kingdom there will be no end." |
Then
Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"
And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon
you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also,
that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now
indeed, Elizabeth our relative has also conceived a son in her old age;
and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with
God nothing will be impossible."
Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me
according to your word." And the angel departed from her."

Hi Arina, Just what the season is all about. Thank you for posting. Somehow it all comes back to Jesus no matter what. He is precious all year round not just on Christmas but I love the fact that even in Massachusetts you can still see a Salvation kettle and hear a Christmas carroll in one of the stores. God bless you.
Arina: This message NEVER gets old! HARK the herald angels sing...GLORY to the newborn KING!!
Blessings!!
I am so glad he was sent for us.. just think of where we might be if our Creator did not send His son to redeem us??
I shudder to think about it....and.....
I am SO GLAD I don't have to ponder that thought,
because I KNOW Him who has purchased me....
Glory to God in the highest!!
