As of last night, Bridgett and I are officially finished with all of the Christmas parties that we had for Life-Givers Ministries. We had the church dinner on 12/3, the drama team party on 12/11, and the Beyond Youth party on 12/12. And I’m spent. Tired. Ka-put. Done. But…
…I have church this morning which entails a youth small group, and I’m excited about what we’re discussing. Grace. Not only grace through Jesus being born as a baby, but the illustration of grace given by Joseph to Mary. Joseph could have easily had Mary tried and stoned for her alleged adultery, but he didn’t. Instead he chose grace to give to her by choosing to divorce her privately. That led to Gabriel envisioning himself to Joseph in a dream and to his belief in Mary’s story about being impregnated by the Holy Spirit to birth the long-awaited Messiah: Jesus.
Oh how God has a way of picking the right people at the right time in the right way, and making it all work out.
