Good morning on this beautiful Christmas day! The Christmas Story: Luke 2:1-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Jesus’ Birth in Bethlehem 2  Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3  And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4  Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5  in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. 6  While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. 7  And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8  In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and

Good morning this Christmas Eve day! I pray that God be with you and you truly know the True Meaning, Jesus Christ, this Christmas. That He is the Heart of Christmas. I will share a few verses with you: Isaiah 7:14   Therefore the   Lord himself will give you a sign.   Behold, the   virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name   Immanuel. Isaiah 9:6   For to us a child is born, to us   a son is given; and the government shall be   upon   his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful   Counselor,   Mighty God,   Everlasting   Father, Prince of   Peace. Luke 2:12   And   this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby   wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. Matthew 2:10   When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! Wow! The true story of Christmas in short! May you rejoice in the Savior, the true meaning

  Hello to you! Merry Christmas on the 4th Sunday of Advent! Christmas is almost here. Are you done shopping? Are you done fixing everything for company or for traveling? Are you finished wrapping packages? Are you finished baking if you bake? I think I am finished shopping although I may not be until I wrap it all and see if I forgot someone. I have not fixed and cleaned for company and traveling. And I am far from being done with the wrapping. And my husband started the baking and had trouble making sugar cookies and said that he would never do them again. Too much work! So, as we go merrily along our way the next couple of days remember that Jesus is the Heart of Christmas. He is the Reason for the Season. Jesus was born in a lowly manger for us. So, that He could save us from our sins. So, as you open gifts, remember Who this is all about. We wouldn't have Christmas if it wasn't for Jesus Christ. He, in His birth, is our ultimate Gift. And He gives ab

  Good morning to you! This has been a crazy month. It seems as though I have had more to do than usual. But the last few months have been the same. I haven't done this blog as often as I wanted to. There has just not been enough hours in the day. A while back I posted that I wasn't going to post every day like I have mostly before October of this year. I have posted 707 posts all being from my heart. I just couldn't do it daily anymore. Maybe some day I can get back to that but for now I can't feel guilty for not posting every day. I will say that I thought that when you got to a certain age your life started slowing down. Well, it hasn't yet. It has just got busier. But I know that God has a plan and I love Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and He alone will see me through until my days are over here on earth. I hope not very soon. But only He knows! I don't need to know. I trust Him and as of now He has work here for me to do. T

Oh, magnify the Lord! For He is worthy! Oh, magnify the Lord! I praise His holy name! Things have been so busy. Life is crazy. People are sick. People are hurting. At the Advent/Christmas time such as this, we know that God is with us. We sing  "O Come O Come Immanuel." Immanuel means "God with us." So let us not forget that God will never leave us. It is we who turn from Him. If we can only turn our eyes upon Him and never turn away. Let this be a reminder to keep our eyes on Jesus, and never let go. Blessings, Lesbear

Good morning!   I know that I haven't been around much lately. I am still here but as usual very busy. Will I have my tree and house decorated before Christmas? I don't know but I will certainly try. And with God leading me, it will happen. I can trust Him! I am not as organized as I used to be. My mind is not working the same. I can't multitask like when I was younger. But... Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. And... Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." So, I will trust God to give me the strength to do what He wants me to and I know that as a follower of Christ all things are possible. Again I can do it! I can do whatever it is that God wants me to do. I know that God doesn't want us to be confused or stressed because those things are not of Him. This Advent/Christmas season is here upon us and if God wants us to ge

Good morning to you! I pray that you had a blessed Thanksgiving! We sure did. It was just the two of us. It was too quiet and kind of lonely. But we cooked a 16 lb. turkey mostly for the left overs. We can eat turkey sandwiches, make soup, and turkey and dumplings. And we put some in the freezer. We do love turkey. My husband made us each a half turkey and avocado sandwich last night that was so awesome. I would never have thought of putting avocado on it but it was scrumptious! Our wonderful neighbors did invite us when they found out we were alone on Thanksgiving but we declined because we already had our turkey ready to pop in the oven. We did go have dessert with them. And that was delicious also. I was making a list of things going on in the next few weeks. Oh my! I woke up at 1:30 AM and couldn't go back to sleep so I finally got up and went in my daughters old room and laid on the bed and tried to make that list. The next few weeks are so busy. My dance ca
