MY CHRISTMAS LIST
My Christmas list
Is not long, you see
Though it consists of things
My present will not be!
A kitten of gray,
One with eyes of blue,
Name it joy
With a cute collar too!
My Christmas list
Is not long, you see
Though it consists of things
My present will not be!
A new iPhone 5s
I promise
If I get this,
My room will never be a mess!
My Christmas list
Is not long, you see
Though it consists of things
My present will not be!
An electric guitar,
Preferably red,
To keep the neighbors up,
Past their time for bed!
My Christmas list
Is not very long, you see
This last request
Is the only thing you can guarantee!
My family by
The Christmas tree,
All watching the parade,
All with me!

Welcome To
Sunday At Amy's Place
~Good Tidings Of Great Joy~
Luke2:1-20 ~ KJV And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Pax Romana
December 20, 2015
To us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
Isaiah 9:6
No one can afford the price of war. One website reports 64 nations are currently involved in armed conflicts. When and how will they end? We want peace, but not at the expense of justice.
Jesus was born during a time of âpeace,â but it came at the cost of heavy-handed oppression. The Pax Romana (âRoman Peaceâ) existed only because Rome squashed all dissent.
Seven centuries before that time of relative peace, hostile armies prepared to invade Jerusalem. From the shadow of war, God made a remarkable pronouncement. âOn those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned,â the prophet declared (Isa. 9:2). âFor to us a child is born, to us a son is given . . . . Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no endâ (vv. 6-7). Matthew tells us that Isaiahâs prophecy found fulfillment in the Christ-child (Matt. 1:22-23; see also Isa. 7:14).
We adore the tiny baby in the manger scene. Yet that helpless babe is also the Lord Almighty, âthe Lord of Heavenâs Armiesâ (Isa. 13:13 nlt). He will one day âreign on Davidâs throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousnessâ (9:7). Such a regime will be no oppressive Pax Romana. It will be the reign of the Prince of Peace.
Father, we can never sufficiently thank You that Your Son came to bring us peace with You through His death and resurrection. Thank You that He will rule in both peace and righteousness.
The Lamb of God is also the Lion of Judah.
The encouraging words of the prophet Isaiah about a time of peace are all contingent on one specific event. Isaiah 9:1-5 describes a time not simply of rest from war and conflict but a time when the apparel of battleâclothes stained with bloodâwill be burned (v. 5). The land will be blessed and at peace because of the birth of the Child described in verses 6-7. Jesus brings real and lasting peace both to our world and to our hearts and minds.
