Happy New Year! May 2018 Be a Year Full of Blessings!

Hello out there! It is freezing outside! I am so thankful to be in my warm home!
A quick post today - I hope the Season of Christmas has been a blessing for you
and your family. I wanted to post this picture yesterday but I didn't have time.
This stained glass window portrays "The Presentation" which happened on the
eighth day after Jesus was born.

The following scriptures are from a daily devotional I read, the Magnificat: 1/01/2018
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke:                      Luke2:16-21
The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph,
and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made
known the message that had been told them about this child.
All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them
by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them
in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.
When eight days were completed for his circumcision,
he was named Jesus,
the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.


Today is - Tuesday before Epiphany.
Tomorrow is - The Most Holy Name of Jesus (and Wednesday before Epiphany)


It isn't too late - bake, visit, and spread Christmas Cheer!
Be a light, a bright light, for the whole new year!
