Luke 2:29-32

I have a great story that I'm going to share on Christmas Eve that happened to me today! It was amazing and I feel as if I've already received my Christmas gift--from God!!!! BUT, you have to WAIT. It's a good one.....
I'm looking so forward to Jon and Katie coming home this week-end and bringing some NOISE back into the house! Well, not really NOISE, but some laughter and fun. Jon and Katie love to play games so I'm sure we'll be playing APPLES TO APPLES and others while we wait until CHRISTMAS arrives!....Today I can say I OFFICIALLY finished Christmas shopping and even finished up my little snack mix that I like to give to our neighbors and friends. SO, all I need to do NOW is wrap just the final things I have bought. WELL, I DO lack one person's final gift! TERRY! He's soooo hard to buy for!!! I'm hoping Jon/Katie will give me some ideas!

I thought I would share my today's Christmas devotional from "Jesus Be in My CHristmas" book. It was so good!

"The promise of God was fulfilled in Jesus. He grew from a tiny baby, day by day learning God's voice in order to understand His part in the grand plan of the universe. God formed ME in my mother's womb and called ME from my father's house to fulfill my part as well. I am part of the promise and the promises enable me to fulfill God's purpose for my life which reaches out with forgiveness. THis my purpose as well. As this joy dawn on me, in me, more and more I will be living in the promise and purpose for which I was made."
