and a Happy New Year!

Luke 2: 13-20 (the Message)
13-14At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God's praises:

Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.

15-18As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.

19-20 Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself. The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they'd been told!


Whether your day is filled with "letting loose" Shepherd style, or the deep reflection of Mary, may today be full of glorifying and praising God for all He has done for us through His Son.  And just as Jesus was visited by many who celebrated his arrival, may you be surrounded by those you love!  REJOICE.

Merry Christmas!
