Luke 2:1-7
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.
Yes, I did say I was taking a blogging break through the Christmas holidays. However, the blessings don’t take a break. They continue every day of the year. So here I go, listing just a few from this past week.
606. Safe trip to Florida to visit family for a few days.
607. Friends to open their home to us for a few days.
608. Special time spent with family and loved ones.
609. Christmas gifts to us from family.
610. Safe trip home from Florida.
611. Celebrating the birth of Jesus in our home with our children.
612. Watching our children open their gifts.
613. The younger kids telling us Christmas is about Jesus and not the presents.
614. The surprise of a gift from my hubby.
615. Most of all, being able to spend time worshiping the birth of Jesus at church with our church family.
The blessings listed above aren’t the only ones we had during the last couple of weeks. There were many more. There are always so many blessings. I know there are ones that I miss and fail to write down. I do plan to continue to keep writing my blessings down in 2012 and I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!
