and a little Christmas for you all from the gospel of Luke...
Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy
that will be
for all the people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a
Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you:
you
will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
And
suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
When the angels went away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said to one another,
“Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened,
which the Lord has made known to us.”
And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph,
and the baby lying in a manger.
And when they saw it, they made known
the saying that had been told them concerning this child.
And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.
But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Fear not.
Born this day... a Savior.
Let us... see... which the Lord has made known to us.
Hear with wonder.
With haste... make known.
Treasure and ponder.
Praise God.
Merry Christmas to all from Flannel Jammies Farm
