Greetings from the church of Christ meeting in the Victorian Village. Thank the good Lord (answered prayer), we had a sunny day for our 'Children's Christmas party' on Sunday. We had a full house. Everyone sang Christmas Carol praises of the child Christ birth. The children read poems and they did really well. Some were shy & parents stood by their side supporting them. The hot apple cider, tea & cookies were served and we all enjoyed the wonderful treats. I opened a bag of free Christmas trinkets for the kiddos to take home. One girl took two pieces to share with her little sister. One teen received a tiny wooden carved mask.
Our son spoke on the 'Birth of Christ'...I've been studying these things all week...Matthew 1:18-23 All this took place to fulfill what the prophet Issiah spoke: 'A virgin shall give birth to a son'...The Angel told Joseph: ' You shall name him 'IMMANUEL meaning: GOD WITH US...
Luke 2: 8-14 The shepherds heard the Angels: 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor favor rest...
Mt 1:18-22..The Wise men followed the star until it rested on the child's home. Finding there Mary & Joseph and the newborn babe. They bowed down and worshiped him. They presented him with treasures of: 'Gold for the King, Incense for Prayer and myrrh for a rich burial.
Luke 2:17-20 When the Shepherds saw baby Jesus, they spread the word concerning what they had been told about this child, and all who heard were amazed at what the Shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart...
On a personal note: As I ponder this truth & grace in my heart...I wonder what daily treasures do I bring to Christ in my life???
Remember: Enjoy a blessed Holiday with friends & loved ones...and share the 'Treasured Angelic Good News...with one & all....
