I am always amazed at all the aspects of the Christmas story. I ponder these things and love to share my thoughts. Mary was such a special young girl, and Joseph a special man, chosen by God. It is remarkable that He uses humble means and humble people to fulfill His purposes. I love my Heavenly Father so much. merry Christmas to you and your loved ones as well!

God works in mysterious ways and I wait to learn the answers.<br /><br />This afternoon we have driven deep into the country to celebrate a special young man's 21st birthday. It was an absolute honour.<br /><br />God bless your day and all that you do.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-82628353814651202572014-12-21T08:20:04.513+00:002014-12-21T08:20:04.513+00:00Wise words as always Marie.

No wonder it is such a hard thing to believe if you have not got that Grace..and difficult for us to be able to explain it all really did happen...<br /> We have our Carol service this morning and this afternoon a few of us are going over to the care home to sing carols with the old people and their carers and any family who may be visiting...hopefully...<br />Hope that you and Td have a lovely Sunday xxSybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516012178494813281noreply@blogger.com
