December 22, 2023 (Blog #5 – 3 days before Christmas)
Angels are rejoicing, the Savior has come, searching for those to jointhem in song. Hastening at the midnight hour, knocking on doors weary and tired!
“We are searching for one who will give us bread” An answer is heard “Do not trouble me,the door is now shut and my children are with me in bed”* “It is too late, the bread in the oven not yet baked”
*Luke 11:7-8 Encouraging us to always be persistence in prayer
“The day has been long with joy and laughter and too much to drink” Then turning his face, into slumber once more he falls asleep – while the angels weep!
Once again with a persistent knock “Please give us bread that we may eat”And because of their persistence he rises, gathering a few crumbs, stumbling to the door, promising a loaf with the rising of the sun!
I wonder do we do the same, neglecting the rappings on our heart strings? Until they become fainter and the angels grow weary, but always returning with hope we will hear!
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!
