my nativity

a few years ago

as a christmas gift

my three daughters bought me

this willow tree nativity set.

it is on my shelf ALL year round

because first of all, i love it!

and secondly,

because i love jesus

and want to remember

what he did for us!

our sermon 

yesterday was about the christmas story

but, not the one you normally hear this

time of year

it was this:

This is the Christmas Story; that He humbled himself for us! Philippians 2:6-8 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

blessings this christmas,
