On Sunday night we discussed Christmas traditions. We all have those routines that we do each year that make the season so much fun. It may be opening one present on Christmas Eve, having a party with the same special friends, or taking your artificial Christmas tree out of the shower, each of us like traditions. It is kind of strange how nontraditional the first Christmas was. This week we read Luke 1:26-38. We have heard the story many times before, but imagine how bizarre these events must have been for Mary. A visit from an angel, a promise that your child will reign forever,...and a serious unexpected pregnancy...This all probably brought a lot of fear and confusion. But in the middle of all of that chaos was a hope that God will provide. We look at things from our small perspective and put limits on what can be done, however the angel reminded Mary(and all of us) that "nothing is impossible with God." What amazing things does God want to do through you.
Remember:
Join us this Wednesday for Jingle Bell Express. We will meet at the church at 6:00PM and drive over together. What a fantastic way to help the community. I hope to see you all there.
Paul
