with Carolyn Goff
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving with family and friends. We went to my brother Ron and Sandi’s Thanksgiving Day. They opened their home to 35 people, family friends and acquaintances.
Now we have to get ready for Christmas.
Happy birthday to Brandy Cain and Ava Haynie on Dec. 4. Have a great day!
Continue to pray for Woodie Deming, Joyce Stewart and all our sick. Pray for our law enforcement, military, first responders and our nation.
Our devotion: The God Baby – Today’s inspiration comes from: Jesus Calling for Christmas by Sarah Young
“As you wait attentively in My Presence, the Light of the knowledge of My Glory shines upon you. This radiant knowledge transcends all understanding. It transforms every fiber of your being: renewing your mind, cleansing your heart, invigorating your body. Open yourself fully to My Presence; be awed by My glorious Being.
“Try to imagine what I gave up when I came into your world as a baby.
“I set aside My Glory so that I could identify with mankind. I accepted the limitations of infancy under the most appalling conditions — a filthy stable. There was nothing glorious about that setting, though angels lit up the sky proclaiming, ‘Glory!’ to awestruck shepherds.
“When you sit quietly with Me, the process I went through is reversed in your experience. As you identify with Me, Heaven’s vistas open up before you — granting you glimpses of My Glory. I became poor so that you might become rich. Sing hallelujahs to My holy Name!
“‘For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.’ — 2 Corinthians 4:6
“‘Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.’ — Philippians 2:6-7
“‘Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest.”’ — Luke 2:13-14
“‘For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.’ — 2 Corinthians 8:9”
