Luke 2:1-14 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Nathan is torn when he learns about an inspector position @ Mountie Headquarters in a new town in Union City that is his if he wants it. He decides to think on it and not tell anyone just yet. Allie insists they find the perfect Christmas tree and Elizabeth shares she has a great spot to find one. Later on the three go on the hunt for the tree. Elizabeth notices Nathan seems off, but when pressed Allie discovers the perfect Christmas tree, which makes it easy for him to avoid the question. Bill confides to Nathan that he knows about the new job and promises to keep it quiet until Nathan makes up his mind. FM
ReplyDeleteJim, Merry Christmas (belated) to you, as well! I think the children now look forward to and love that quiet moment before the rush of gifts. At our home, it simply wouldn't be Christmas without it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice day, as well. You are such a good friend to me and everyone here.
God's blessings in the New Year! Net
