EPIPHANEY… the Magi arrive
Found 2 books on clearance at goodwill yesterday.
The Ramsey book is for someone else. It’s the workbook… it is worth the time and effort. It will change the way you look at things.

Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”
This morning, our “salvation” has arrived packaged as a defenseless baby.

Saint of the day… St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Well, here we are. In 3 days we celebrate Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ, son of God. Have you taken the time to realize that without noting his birth, life, death, and resurrection, there is absolutely nothing different about this time of year than any other time of year?
Have you also realized this time of year can bring out the worst things?
There are many walking wounded in the holiday season. I suspect it is because we have been conditioned to believe extravagant spending on gifts is necessary to show someone we love them or to indicate our success in life. This is a lie. Don’t swallow it. Don’t buy into the worldly thinking of $$ = success, love, importance, and acceptance. It is a lie, one the great deceiver wants you to believe.
May you find the love of Christ this Christmas season.
Know you are prayed for.
