Merry Christmas to you, Meg!
Went to see the in-laws today, and then to Christmas Eve church.
Tomorrow, off to my parents house. That’s where all the Fun is! My favorite day, with the exception of Thanksgiving which is pretty great too.
Have a great Christmas Day!

When the set time had fully come, God sent his Son. Galatians 4:4
Sometimes I joke that I’m going to write a book titled On Time. Those who know me smile because they know I am often late. I rationalize that my lateness is due to optimism, not to lack of trying. I optimistically cling to the faulty belief that this time I will be able to get more done in less time than ever before. But I can’t, and I don’t, so I end up having to apologize yet again for my failure to show up on time.
In contrast, God is always on time. We may think He’s late, but He’s not. Throughout Scripture we read about people becoming impatient with Gods timing. The Israelites waited and waited for the promised Messiah. Some gave up hope. But Simeon and Anna did not. They were in the temple daily praying and waiting (Luke 2:2526, 37). And their faith was rewarded. They got to see the infant Jesus when Mary and Joseph brought Him to be dedicated (vv. 2732, 38).
When the set time had fully come, God sent his Son. Galatians 4:4
When we become discouraged because God doesn’t respond according to our timetable, Christmas reminds us that when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son . . . that we might receive adoption to sonship (Gal. 4:45). Gods timing is always perfect, and it is worth the wait.
Heavenly Father, I confess that I become impatient and discouraged, wanting answers to prayer in my own time and on my schedule. Help me to wait patiently for Your timing in all things.
Gods timing is always rightwait patiently for Him.

His Good Time
Theres something rather inviting here,
If some work doesnt scare you away.
A lot of us think that running a farm,
Is just a big place we can play.
But the work begins before sunrise,
When the coffee is still not awake,
And it doesnt let off 'til you sit in the shade,
And sharpen your tools on your break.
Then you finish your work with the last fading rays,
And you put things away in the dark.
The sound of an ouch is the signal you've found,
That wheelbarrow you forgot to park.
I dont want to imply that there is no reward,
You can eat all you want that youve grown.
And there's nothing that adds to the flavor more,
Than to know its from seeds that youve sown.
And youve watched your partner helping,
And youve thanked Him with all of your heart.
For He sent all the rain, and the sun in its time,
And you know that Hes earned a big part.
Its ironic, you note from your window,
As He irrigates crops far and near.
You get your results by hard work every day,
While He takes His good time to appear.

~Christmas Joy To All 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.
Blessings To All Who Enter Here

Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Luke 2:10
On the final day of a Christian publishing conference in Singapore, 280 participants from 50 countries gathered in the outdoor plaza of a hotel for a group photo. From the second-floor balcony, the photographer took many shots from different angles before finally saying, Were through. A voice from the crowd shouted with relief, Well, joy to the world! Immediately, someone replied by singing, The Lord is come. Others began to join in. Soon the entire group was singing the familiar carol in beautiful harmony. It was a moving display of unity and joy that I will never forget.
In Lukes account of the Christmas story, an angel announced the birth of Jesus to a group of shepherds saying, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord (Luke 2:1011).
The good news of Jesuss birth is a source of joy for all people.
The joy was not for a few people, but for all. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (John 3:16).
As we share the life-changing message of Jesus with others, we join the worldwide chorus in proclaiming the glories of His righteousness and wonders of His love.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Father, give us eyes to see people of all nations as recipients of Your grace and joy.
The good news of Jesuss birth is a source of joy for all people
