Read: Luke 1:26-33
One of my favorite portions of Handels Messiah is the joyous movement For unto us a Child is born, from the first part of the oratorio. I especially love how the chorus rises to the phrase, Unto us a Son is given. Those words, of course, are taken from Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. Handels majestic music soars with adoration for the Son who came to us in human flesh that first Christmas.
The New Testament clarifies even further who this Son is. In Luke 1, the angelic messenger appeared to Mary and identified the Christ-child in four ways. He would be the son of Mary, making Him fully human (1:31). He would be the Son of the Highest, which made Him fully divine (1:32). He would also be the Son of David, giving Him royal lineage (1:32). And He would bear the title of Son of God (1:35), giving Him equality with the Father in all things. All of the roles the Messiah was called to fill are made possible in these distinct expressions of His Sonship.
As we worship Him this Christmas, may our celebrations be filled with joy and wonder at the fullness of what it means. Our heavenly Father has given us His perfect, sufficient Son. O come, let us adore Him!
Thanks, unique, for the perfect woohoo.
Evening, Kathy! Brrr! It’s cold here!
Good morning, Canteen. Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
Still crazy here at work.
And since I begin my holiday leave next week,
I have a lot to get done.
The crazy people and traffic in this area are making me sick.
I can't wait to retire.
I will NEVER drive to DC again
and will try very hard not to do so to Northern VA.
Now that my morning & attitude
are ruined I might as well do some work.
Please stick around and visit
with the military and/or family members.
That's what we're here for.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

I just post this on my fb page. Rep Tim Walberg & members of congress & criminal admin! Just remember that the people who you dismiss now are trained KILLERS, who have honed their skills in 3rd rate GOD Forsaken areas of the world. We are the ones who have literately given blood,sweat & tears for. We have kept our promise to the Country, it is more than time for you people to live up to yours! You guys had NOT even give your selves a pay raise either, or Hell will rain down upon your ears.
Today is “throat punch” Thursday! I had to leave for a while just to get my BP under control. I’m still in the mood to go after EVERY member of the so called elected gov.’t though. They had better thank GOD, that I can not get to them! All I can do is raise holly hell on line [they ignore this stuff anyway], I just wish they were closer so I could deliver my response in person [verbally ONLY!]
