Today's verse is "You know the message he sent, proclaiming Good News of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all."
Teddy activity is to think of a promise someone made to you. . .and then kept!
This could really go a couple of different ways. When reading the Bible verse, my first thought came when reading "message" and the ol' German Lutheran guilt overcame me with regret, shame and embarrassment that we did not send any wishes of goodwill this Christmas season. I bought the cards, five boxes in fact, and even signed one. That's as far as I got. So don't feel neglected out there if you don't receive holiday wishes via snail mail for you are not alone. No cards were sent despite our sincere wishes for the very best to you all for a blessed Christmas and wonderful new year. (At least you won't have to read another of our Christmas letters.)
The Teddy activity has us thinking of promises. The first promise I thought of was a huge one - my marriage vows to Bob. He has lived up to those promises and gone beyond. He definitely is handling the "worse" part for the "better or worse" section.The "sickness and health" has been well covered also. Our insurance company knows us on a first name basis. Our multiple doctors now drive new Lexuses (Lexi?) or Beamers and have special file cabinets set aside just for us. Bob's fidelity cannot be questioned. Thank you God! With those vows came similar declarations to Stephanie. He took Stephanie as his step-daughter. Their relationship continues to be of love, respect and honor due to his keeping that promise.
God has made promises too! He promises a trip to those "pearly gates" with our belief in Christ. We will be reunited with loved ones to share eternal life and our lives will be without pain. That's quite a promise I am looking forward to. What a wonderful thing to ponder!
