A Child Is Born

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 

On Christmas Eve Sunday we went to our church services - twice!

It was a great way to celebrate Christmas Eve.

With worship and song and candlelight.

And we had Kirk's family over for potato soup — which they cooked and brought over!

Delicious!

Today we had my brothers over for Christmas Day for ham.

And Steve made some delicious potatoes, which we finished off completely.

Plus he brought twice-baked potatoes for us to have later this week.

Wonderful days with family.

We are blessed.

To Us a Child Is Born

To us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 

Jesus was born for us.

The government will be upon Him.

And He will be called Wonderful!

Jesus will be our Counselor.

He is the Mighty God.

His kingdom is everlasting.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

The Everlasting Father.

The Spirit of Truth

When the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me  and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. — John 15:26-27


Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us from his Father.

The Spirit of Truth.

The Counselor.

Who bears witness to Jesus.

And who comforts and convicts us when we are going through hard times or temptations.

When we accept Jesus as our savior, we receive the Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily lives. 

We are witnesses of the grace of Jesus and the love of God and the comfort and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

To Us a Son Is Born

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6

Yesterday we celebrated the birth of Jesus.

Wonderful,

Counselor,

Mighty God,

Everlasting father,

Prince of Peace.

We had potato soup after the Christmas Eve service, made by Liz. Delicious.

We used my grandmother's tablecloth and the tree that Abby and I made together at our church craft night years ago.
