Today will be my final post for the week. I am going to take the rest of the week off to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. I hope you take time to reflect on the blessings God has poured into your life. I am so thankful for you, my faithful readers, who encourage me to press on. God bless you.
I am excited about the Monday series the Lord has given me to offer to you in December.
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are the primary characters in the grand story of Christmas. Without them, there would be no Christmas story. In a movie, play, or television series, there are the main actors, and then, there is the supporting cast. Those who play supporting roles are not as widely recognized, but often are crucial to the story as a whole.
As I talked to the Lord concerning my Christmas 2013 series, the Holy Spirit reminded me that He used many people to bring the story of Christmas to life. When I visited Luke chapter 2, I discovered that, indeed, there are 4 people or groups without whom the Christmas story might not have happened. Each Monday in December leading up to Christmas, we will take a look at these people and see how they contribute to the story of Christmas. I hope you will join me and offer your thoughts about each post.
