It’s Friday, so please remember to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the Nestlings.
Anyone else?
Luke 1:2638
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,Mary; you have found favor with God.31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
A friend from church, about 10 years older than I, is in the hospital because of rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure. She is single, never married, and the only living child of her mother, whom she had intended to see for Christmas. (Her mom lives perhaps three hours away, and of course her mom is not young and probably cannot drive over this way.) Her biggest concern is for her mother; I don’t know her mother’s name, but the friend in the hospital is Lori. She and I occasionally have lunch together.
I have been texting back and forth with my friend W. You may remember she lost her daughter last February to a heroin overdose. She said she isn’t happy where she is. She made a career change and move in November. She listed about 3 things. I pointed out that any of the 3 would make someone unhappy but she had 3. The worst being her first Christmas without her daughter.
Please remember her in your prayers.

I think it is because of all the construction dust, but my lungs are very inflamed and sore since coming home. Pray for the inflammation to ease.
