Do you have an Expectant Heart .. Roads of Hardship

This morning 

As 

I was thinking 

of 

Some of our
Hardship 

And 

Trials  

I was 

Reminded 

of 

The difficult 

Journey
Joseph and Mary 

Made

To Bethlehem 

Her so round 

With child
Riding 

On the back 

of 

A donkey 

And 

Then no place 

To give birth
But

A Manger
No midwife

To Help
Only Joseph

  And
Yet 

They had 

A miracle 

 Experience

Jesus was born
I pray

 That many 

Will find 

Their miracles 

This Christmas season 

As they find 

Jesus

  He truly came
To save us
And
To offer
So much more
Than we can do
For
Ourselves
.. His birth ...
Gave us ☆light
Joy
It was a beginning of hope
But truly
It was
His
Death
That gave
Us
Eternal Life
Salvation
 I pray
As you
And
Your family
Celebrate 
You will
Experience
His presence
His Joy
His Hope
I love you ... LisaMe!
Your Eye in the sky
Praying blessings of peace
Will over shadow you 
Filling you
With the light ☆
And
Love of Christ
☆☆☆ Joy to the world ☆☆☆
May
We
Never
Forget
That the Lord
Has come
And
May we continue
To prepare
For His timely return ♡
I pray
Many
Would experience
Miracles today
Birthed
 By the hard roads
They have traveled 
I pray you look up
And
Find a star☆ bursting ☆to shine
His Great love
And
Light your way today
Merry Christmas
Love LisaMe!

 

Note: 2016:  

This yr for Christmas we have Expectant Hearts ..
Our 4yr old Bull Mastiff is expecting puppies 

Dec 26th .. it her due date ... 
It brings forth such a wonderful opportunity of a lesson for How Mary and Joseph may 

have felt .. expecting their child  .. during their Journey .. Perhaps they had prayed to arrive and get settled before their child was to come ..  In our home we are preparing for the birth of puppies and have the opportunity to have our Honey be ex-rayed to know just how many puppies we will have ... But that Expectation is there .. We are excited .. and will have many conversations about the birth of Jesus .. during this Christmas .. Season ..

We were excited ... there is a difference in being excited and expectant

When I was young my sister had her first child a son born on Christmas Day .. we had not planned on him to be born on Christmas.. I remember my parents had company due to arrive at our home .. they had most of the Christmas Dinner already prepared .. When my mother spoke to my sister .. who did not even realize she was in labor .. My mother told her get to the hospital we will meet you there .. My older sister and I had to wait at our home for the visitors.. and serve Christmas Dinner .. before we could go to the hospital to find my sister had delivered a son ..
