…at the end of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown cries out, “Doesn’t anyone know what Christmas is all about?!?!”

Linus then recites Luke 2:8-14

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  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.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

 

COT

-Prayers for Steak and getting settled into his new place.

-Prayers for Hamloaf, Supplies!!, and Kodak and upcoming meeting for a program they’re looking to start.

-Prayers for my M and her continued health concerns.  Also, our daughter Gabby got her driver’s permit yesterday.

 

We all may be block heads from time to time like Charlie Brown, but we can always remember the real reason behind Christmas, we can have peace, knowing we have a king and savior who loves us so much that he left the glory of heaven to live a life here on earth with us, to show us the way, and to walk along side of us no matter what we’re facing, and to ultimately die in our place to open the way to the Father.

Thank you again to Trojan and Red Card for opening up their fire pit area and for leading QSD.

Awesome job guys!
