Welcome sweet friends! I know this is a busy week preparing for Thanksgiving Day! Perhaps you need to prop up your feet, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and just rest for a few minutes!

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Happy Thursday, sweet friends. I know most of you are experiencing icy cold weather! Our weather forecasters are saying that beginning early Friday morning we could have between 2-3 inches of snow and then possibly freezing rain. (The forecast changes every few hours!) Living in the South, everyone panics when the white stuff is mentioned. All the bread and milk will disappear off the shelves immediately. I have never understood what it is about bread and milk? I need more than these items if I am going to be snowed in! While difficult weather is often only an inconvenience, we all know sometimes there can be dangerous and devastating events in nature. We pray for the many in California who are currently being impacted by raging wildfires, a very tragic and serious situation! 

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

“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.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Hundreds of years before Luke described and proclaimed the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah foretold of the event saying:
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.”
