The way of the manger led to the Cross. Christ knew this before He came as a baby, and yet He came anyway.
But, the way of the manger also leads to the Tomb!
LIFE – he was born,
DEATH — on the cross, and
LIFE ANEW – resurrection!
This can be the same for each of us if we choose [...]

Light to shine in the darkest night,
Light to make all the wrong things right,
Light to show everyone the way,
Light to shine where a virgin lay,
Tonight.

Enjoy!
I have never written a “Year Review” post before, but I thought it would be fun to compile some memories!
I also want to express my thankfulness to my Lord for how He has blessed me, exceedingly, abundantly, beyond [...]

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
But God displayed His mercy
The greatest gift of love
When we could not reach Heaven
Heaven came to us!
He made a way in a manger

…to wear my thorns.
A lady sang this gorgeous song at a Christmas program we attended today. The lyrics are simply stunning! Please take the time to read them. They are beautiful!
There’s a Rose in Bethlehem, with a beauty quite divine,
Perfect in this world of sin, on this silent, holy night.
There’s a fragrance much like hope [...]

Christmastime…is the season in which it is most appropriate — and most hopeful — to remember our fragility, our dependency, and the great reversal of the kingdom of God:
“But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong” (1 Corinthians [...]

Yesterday was “Decorating Day” at our house! Quite late, don’t you think? We’ve been gone so much during the past few weeks, this has been the first time to do it!
Every year when we pull out our Christmas decorations, it feels like they’re new all over again!

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
Our father’s God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!
