Angels

The Stars are Bright!  Welcome to my World!

The Spirit of Christmas entered my soul today.  I am full of joy and excited for the season of giving.
My hands have been busy, putting finishing touches on my Christmas creations.  John has done a great job on the little wooden boxes, I requested a few months ago.  I hung the ice skates and the Christmas socks on the porch.  The little tree is perfect for a small but meaningful Christmas.  Tomorrow, I will put the wire back up over the kitchen sink.  I took it down when the kitchen was painted.  This season will be a Christmas tree for each member of my family.  Even if they don't come, I am prepared if they have a change of heart.  Nothing is impossible with my God.

Changed up my prayers today for my children and grandchildren.  I asked Jesus, to fill their minds with memories of Christmas pasts. I asked that their thoughts would be filled with forgiveness and memories of family.   May the thoughts turn to a desire to call or come over.  Angels are on the way. When I think of angels, I think of them as hosts.  So many that it would be impossible to count them. I took this picture to share what I am doing.  Everyone will have their own tree on the line.  My reminder to pray and ask for angels to watch over them.  If I can get through the next couple of weeks, I will be doing great.  Have a little shopping to do.  I will decorate each tree with buttons and little jewels.  I cut the trees out of a wall paper book.  The green doesn't show up very good, but it is perfect.

 Angels have interested me for some time.  I have had a couple encounters with
 several of them. It has been a long time ago.    I know several people that see them.  I want to be able to see them.  I shall ask the King!

Tonight, I will skip the meaning of angels and go right to the verse that brought my attention to angels tonight.  I was reading the Christmas story in Matthew and there it was.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.    Matthew 2:20

A great miracle took place in that dream and what a mission for that angel.  A baby, an angel, shepherds and wonderful parents, all inspired by God to do great things. Follow that star!  What a wonderful Christmas message.  Thank you, Jesus!

The promise for today is:  My family in heaven and on earth is named after Me.   Ephesians 3: 14-15

 I have tons to do today, so I guess I better shut the lap top and say, "Until we meet again."  May the Lord wrap you in His arms like a great Christmas gift and love on you.  Thank you for coming by.  I am asking God to send angels to watch over you and usher you into a great Christmas season.

Love is in the ink.
