Devotional 12-22-19

Almost
Almost is a wonderful word, it’s a message of hope. As you read this devotional dwell on the fact that in a few days we will once again experience the joy of Jesus’ birth. No greater gift was ever given.

Sometimes I try to imagine what it must have been like for Mary. This was Mary’s first born child. She had never before given birth and there was no hospital bed, no attending physician, no medication, can you imagine? Only a cattle shed and a group of curious onlookers.

And what was Joseph thinking? Did he wonder if he was doing the right thing by staying with Mary and supporting her. What would people say??

For us it’s almost here, the day of rejoicing over our Savior’s birth.. As we take a trip with our small children to visit Grandma the most frequently heard question is,  “Are we there yet?” and our response is, “Almost”

What a message of hope. It’s almost here, rejoice and be glad, OUR SAVIOR IS BORN.
