It’s the last day of the year, so 2 QoD’s. First I’ll ask the obvious question.
And then,

And yes, I still have more Christmas cookies to eat.

Who’s up for coffee and Christmas cookies for breakfast?
😯
Me too!
You’d think that I’d be sick of Christmas cookies by now. But no, I’m not.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Yesterday I posted the first part of the story from Luke 2.
Today, we celebrate the rest.
The arrival of THE greatest gift mankind could receive from a loving God.
A savior, Jesus Christ, and through Him, forgiveness. I’ve received no greater gift, and I’m thankful for it.
Luke 2:6-21
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 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.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 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.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 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.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

1 more day!
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves.

I’d ask what everyone has planned for this weekend, but I think we all know the answer, it being an extended Christmas weekend and all.
🙂

Here’s a favorite verse of mine.
Matthew 1:23 KJV
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
And a song I very much enjoy.
