A Star is Born ⭐✨🕯 🕯 🕯

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

🌟⭐ December 25, 2023 Christmas Eve 🌟⭐

It is the day before Christmas and heaven is
astir, a flurry of angels preparing for
flight to this world.

Their beloved Lord has stepped down from His throne, becoming a baby planted in a virgin girl.The great Creator, One with the Father, and the Holy Spirit,

Mary heavy with labor, Joseph in search of a place to rest, only in a humble stable they have found. A Star in the sky, the sound of choirs praising the birth of a Baby Boy!

The Star of Bethlehem bringing hope to a fallen world!

For Unto Us A Savior Is Born

This post follows post written on 12-22 – ‘A Prophecy Comes To Pass’

“And another sign appeared in heaven”

“Then being with child she cried out in labor and pain to give birth”


“A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of stars“

“And . . . A great fiery red dragon
stood before the woman who was ready to give birth . . . to devour
her Child as soon as it was born”

“She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron and her Child was caught up
to God and His throne”
Revelation Chapter 12

“And when the set time had fully come,
God sent forth His Son born of a woman*

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord”

Luke 2:11

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven!

Ever since the fall of our

parents and God’s promise of
restoration, the evil one has

endeavored to destroy our Savior, prophesied to be born!

And now as the Christian world is celebrating His birth and His soon coming many signs are

being fulfilled!

In the Book of Revelation
There is the description of –


“A WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE
SUN AND THE MOON UNDER HER
FEET”


“And upon her head a crown of twelve
stars.
And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth”

A winter blessing

GOOD Morning on this 21st day of December
The first day of winter


MAY you find peace in the promise of the solstice night.

THAT each day forward is blessed with more light.

THAT the [GOD] of all nature and [CREATOR]

BRING faith to your soul and well-being to you.

REJOICE in the darkness in the silence find rest.

AND may the days that follow be abundantly blessed!

a Christmas village story

Good EVENING ON THIS 3rd Day of Advent week

The village square sits
forgotten!

Abandoned long ago

Winter snow has fallen

In the church not a word
is spoken


Songs have
been silenced

And when you hear
the wind blow there is
the sound of crying

Cabins are empty and cold
on the hearth embers have smoldred to ashes
No bread in the oven


This village is truly
forgotten!

But then one evening
a small light has risen

It is coming in this
direction

People descending
with candles burning
songs once silenced now singing

Those
who once lived here
are returning

The square once bare
is rejoicing

A celebration is under
way!

Lamp posts are lit
dressed
in red ribbonss

The evergreen in the
center is no longer dark, filled with lights and ornaments

And Christmas stockings

The snow bird’s song is trilling

The village is filled
with a festival of
lights nevermore to
be saddened!

the forgotten Christmas tree🎄 .🎁 .🎆 (blog

The trend these last few years, in the selection of a tree is
going in a different direction. Several decades ago when artificial
trees were introduced with their glitter and tinsel, people adopted
a substitute for the once meaningful tree displayed in our homes.
Now midst the chaos and confusion we are experiencing, people
are reaching out with more nurturing ways to express their
celebrations. And now instead of reaching for that dusty box in
the attic, more Christmas tree lots are frequented with holiday
cheer and excitement!

Oh Christmas tree, where have you been?

For your lovely boughs and
branches of green we have yearned
Your grace we have missed with
your pleasant light
The scent of pine with its silvery
fir
and shining candles in the night
Oh, what joy you bring of love and
hope
The star upon your crown pointing
towards the shepherd’s song, waiting
for the Promised One!
