Christmas Begins With Christ

11th Day of Christmas -
Concerning Jesus "...And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ~ Isaiah 9:6

Tenth Day of Christmas -
"Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content."
~Philippians 4:11

Ninth day of Christmas - "Yet you Lord, are our Father. We are the clay and you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."~Isaiah 64:8

Eighth Day of Christmas -

"When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy." ~ Luke 1:41-44

Merry Christmas! This is the day we celebrate getting "nothing" - nothing to fear, nothing to lack, nothing to lose and nothing to separate us from the love of God as revealed to us in Christ Jesus.

What's your favorite Christmas movie? We love the animated movie "The Star"

How's your Advent reading going? As busy as this time is, we still try our best to read.

We just passed the 90 day mark! What are you looking forward to most this Christmastime? I just read Mary's Song in the Luke 1:46-55.

- Glorious 12th Day of Christmas! We didn't make it to the festival this year, but if you love Christmas and the Christian Faith - ( ) and and and good food and you're within a day's drive of and you haven't visited, you need to!

Peace. Justice. Righteousness. Forever. ~ Jesus

"Of the growth of his government and peace there will be no end. He will rule over his kingdom, sitting on the throne of David, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies will accomplish this." ~ Isaiah 9:7

"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." ~ Isaiah 9:6

Merry Christmas everyone!

Isaiah is a GREAT book to read during Advent!

Thanksgiving is platefuls of feasting while Advent is excruciating hunger as we we wait for Him who fulfills.

11 days until Advent "the waiting" or "the preparation" begins.... unless you're always prepared and waiting :)

The perfect
Advent book.
Jesus is coming,
Jesus is with us,
Jesus was killed,
Jesus is alive again,
Jesus is coming again

Couldn't wait 'till Advent when I saw this! ♥️ Picked it up at tonight. Made for

Under two months until the one day most of the world remembers Jesus. Thankfully, Jesus remembers US every moment of every day. Our acceptance of His sacrifice on our behalf took us off the "Naughty or Nice" list and put us on the "Mercy & Grace" list!

Saying Christmas is “at risk” due to supply chain problems, leads me to believe you don’t know the real reason for Christmas.

We're at the calendar's halfway mark to Christmas! However, in living for Christ, we realize every day is Advent and Resurrection Day rolled into one; our waking is the advent of a new day; the gift of a changed life God gave us by sending His Son to Earth. Our going forth is the mission to share the joy and good news of eternal life purchased by Christ who took our place on the cross. Emmanuel - God with us - every day!

- but definitely NOT a Silent Night - read why not; I'll give you a clue - prostitutes, soldiers, food carts, shepherds, angels and drummers.

There is a big difference between "Emmanuel - God with us", "Emmanuel - God in us" and "Emmanuel - God *through* us".... God's love

Would you like some joy?

- It's NOT about what's *under* the tree. It IS about who hung on a tree.

- My article from will take you just 3 minutes to read. It's about an abandoned baby named "Emmanuel". We are not abandoned on this planet, and we are not alone. God shows us these truths every day because He is with us! :)

Royally Skewed I’m sharing this story because of the number of people I’ve found who don’t know about what happened. On the day before Thanksgiving, a baby boy, only a few hours old, was left in a church in Quee…

My wife Sharon found this wonderful article. Enjoy!
