AND NOW

The last four weeks I have encouraged you to put yourself in the place of Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men. This week, I want to encourage you to put yourself in the place of --- In the place of you!

But, look at yourself with the traits of Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men. How are you doing? Are you a servant? Do you trust? Do you hear? Do you seek?

LET ME OFFER A PRAYER FOR YOU

I pray you are

• like Mary: May you be a servant who lives according to God’s word,
• like Joseph: May you trust God when He asks you to obey,
• like the Shepherds: May you hear and believe,
• like the Wise Men: May you search until you find the Son of God.

Amen
