The Miracle and Gift



 The Miracle and Gift

Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time...

Bethlehem

Joseph and Mary

Shepherds

Angels and more angels

Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place.

Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census,
Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets.

Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field 

Shepherds hastened off to see

Let's hear Luke's account...

"An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a concert began!

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.


 Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of the  multitude of heavenly hosts telling the world

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.

These shepherds were shaken into a state of excitement unlike anyone could imagine. And they could not wait to tell all the people in the crowded streets what they had just seen come to pass.
The angel telling them "Do not to be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born this day in the city of David a Savior..."

 Then actually seeing Him, Jesus, their savior

These shepherds told their experiences to all in the crowded streets of Bethlehem...

It causes me to ponder... what have my experiences been with the savior...

What happened in Bethlehem can happen today as we go out into the busy streets this Christmas!

Personally I need to tell how Jesus got me off the wide path which was leading me to destruction and on to the narrow one which has led me to my destiny...

Jesus is the miracle and the gift to all mankind

Bless every one of you this Christmas with a new revelation of Jesus!

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when we got to the final appo
