TODAY'S QUOTE
Celebration shines in quiet gratitude that God has blessed our homes and our lives with the spirit of loveliness. We celebrate because our lives overflow with things to be thankful for...because God gives us the eyes to see how incredibly we have been blessed
Emilie Barnes
ADVENT
Behold, the virgin shall be with the child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel which means, God is with us, When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife into his home.
Matthew 1:22-24
Joseph’s commitment to Mary and to the child in her womb caused confusion and pain. He was a devout and honorable man, determined to do what was right. He trusted what he heard God say in his dream and obeyed the command of the angel We must depend on God as did Mary and Joseph.

TODAY'S SMILE
The Night Before Christmas A firefighter's Story
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town, the fire siren echoed blaring its sound. The firefighters came running from far and from near, and raced to the trucks quickly donning their gear. And I in my bunkers my boots and my hat, jumped to the engine to see where the fire's at.
Down at the corner of Fifth and of Oak, the dispatcher informed us of a house filled with smoke. Smoke poured from the sides, from up and from down, yet up on the roof there was none to be found. So up to the rooftop we raised up a ladder, and climbed to the top to see what was the matter.
I came to the chimney and what did I see, but a fellow in red stuck past his knees. Well we tugged and we pulled until he came out, then he winked with his eye and said with a shout. "These darn newfangled chimneys they make them too small, for a fellow as I, not skinny at all."
With a twitch of his nose he dashed to his sleigh, and called to his reindeer, "AWAY now, AWAY." As we rolled up our hoses he flew out of sight, saying "God bless our firefighters" and to all a good night.

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Love suffers long and is kind…
I Corinthians 13:4
Paul's description of love takes it out of the category of mere sentimentality. According to his description, one has to go beyond whispering sweet nothings in the ear of a loved one Patience and kindness are not emotions. They are traits we choose to exhibit, and sometimes with difficulty
Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on.
‘Twas not given for thee alone, pass it on.
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
‘Til in heaven the deed appears –pass it on
Henry Burton
