Christmas Program--New Presentation of Timeless Message

Looking forward to the Children's Christmas program tomorrow at our regular church times and the Christmas fellowship time at 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. This will be a great time to meet new guests. The kids presentation is just a great new way to present the timeless Gospel. See you tomorrow. 

Hope in God in the face of terrible difficulties

I've recently watched most of "The Nativity" DVD again. It has gotten me to thinking about the high cost of God working in our lives. Consider how it was for Mary to be told she’d have a baby w/o being married. What kind of ostracism did she and Joseph have to bear—simply because they were blessed w/ the greatest honor of all. 

What do you think? --Was Mary blessed or saddled with a terrible burden?  I'd love to hear from you.
