Karlyn: Joy day 2-4

Happy Thursday afternoon!  Have fun Ginny!  I'm singing at an insurance Christmas party tonight.  It's always a little awkward but fun.

S -  Nehemiah 8:10 And Nehemiah continued "Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared.  THis is a sacred day before our Lord.  Don't be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!"

Psalm 16:11  You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasure of living with you forever.

Luke 2:10-14 but the angel reassured them.  Don't be afraid he said I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.  The Savior - yes, the Messiah, the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem the city of David.  And you will recognize him by this sign: YOu will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth lying in a manger.

O - God's Joy has had to be and will always be my only strength!
Right now I long for his presence, it's the only thing that gives me peace.  I want Holly toknow this peace.
I can't imagine the excitement of those shepherds.  I can't even imagine what they were thinking or feeling.  How special for them not kings and government officials to be the ones to see this baby first!!!

A - I want his joy peace and excitement for Christmas to be seen and for people to want to know more about Christ and not Santa!

P-  Lord you know all the things I've struggled with and have failed in this week.  Please help me to press on with Joy and your peace and the longing for your presence face to face!  Thank you for Jesus!
