Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I can't believe 10 days have elapsed since my last blog post!  The Christmas season is busy around my house. With work, watching my grandson and writing, life rushes by very quickly. But it is all good! Christmas day was peaceful and low key. And, one of the best Christmases I have ever had. Adding Jay and his daughter to the mix was seamless. No drama or chaos. Just love and laughter and joy. 

So, I pray all of you had a blessed day celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! Here is the Gospel reading from Christmas day (Luke 2:15-20):

When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us." So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

And from the Monthly Message of July 2012, Jesus:


"My dear apostles, it is time for Me to announce Myself as King. I am truly the King of heaven and I am the King of all God’s children on earth. I am the King of all that is good and I am the King of love. Most of all, and most importantly for you, I am your King."

May all of you share in the joy and love Jesus brings not only at Christmas, but every day of our lives. Rejoice in Him. Give thanks to Him. He is our King!

God bless,
Bonnie
