FRIDAY FAITH TALKS

Gabriel is sent to give 2 birth announcements.  Did he hesitate before the 2nd One?  He was obedient.  

There are 3 named angels in the Bible . . male:  Gabriel, Michael and the fallen angel, Lucifer.

Matthew Chapter 2 quotes prophecies about Jesus from the Old Testament.  Bloodthirsty Herod murders all baby boys 2 years old and younger in Bethlehem.  His effort to silence the Christ child the Wise Men were looking for failed.  (History tells us Herod did succeed in killing all his own sons except 1).  

Heaven watched as Joseph the Protector again obeys an angel in a dream.  The little family slips away toward safety in the middle of the night.

It was close to Christmas and I missed my son (again).  It especially hit me when I heard the song 'Blue Christmas".     So I made up new words.

Last 4 minutes are instrumental for you to sing along. It's written on my blog  . . .

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.  

Joseph was a remarkable man.  He was obedient to the Lord and the law.  He took care of Mary and God's son.

Blog is www.whatwouldajesusgirldo.com to see pictures and watch video of song 'Strange way to Save the World'.  

'Holidays' are very painful after losing a loved one, especially those first celebrations.  You might rather pull covers over your head and stay home.  But death does not have the final say.

The last 3 minutes or so are music by Her Heart Sings.

How difficult will it be for all of us to give thanks this coming Thursday?  Do you have a favorite memory of Thanksgiving Day?  Do you have a sad or terrible memory of Thanksgiving Day?

What type of driver upsets you the most?  What can you do about it?  I drove a lot as a visiting nurse and was often mad at poor drivers.

On my blog the Gaithers sing "He was There all the Time"

On this podcast it is by the Daywind Studio Musicians - 3 minutes at the end.

The majority of my decade-plus work as a Registered Nurse was doing Homecare and Hospice.  I loved that job but it did have its drawbacks, common to women.  

We (nurses) were sent into every type of house / home.

Last 4 minutes is song. "Go Light Your Candle".

What is your idea of having it all?  Forbes announced global expansion of its 50 (women) over 50 list with nominations opening in Asia and Europe.  The female newscaster stated "NOW we (women) can have it all!). What do you think?

"SHAME ON YOU!" the couple shouted in unison.  Noisy chatter in the Methesco cafeteria ended abruptly, all eyes now on our table.  What happened?  I had picked up the salt shaker.
