Today is Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013; Karen's Korner #2707

When searching television channels this morning, I happened on a question and answer program, obviously religious/Christian in nature. The speaker said, "God loves you. He loves you as much as He loves His Own Son! Try wrapping your mind around that one!"
 
I did. It's enough to keep me going for the whole day!
 
 
Here is a 'Max Lucado' for the today, and for the season:
 
 
He Called His Name Jesus

Scripture says,  “And Joseph took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.  And he called His name Jesus! Matthew 1:24”

Joseph was literally willing to tank his reputation.  And he did. He traded it in for a pregnant fiancée and an illegitimate son and made the big decision of discipleship. He placed God’s plan ahead of his own. Rather than make a name for himself, he made a home for Christ.  And because he did, a great reward came his way. “And he called His name Jesus!”

Of all the saints, sinners, prodigals, and preachers who’ve spoken the name, Joseph—a blue-collar, small-town construction worker said it first. Joseph cradled the wrinkle-faced prince of heaven, and with an audience of angels and pigs, whispered, “Jesus—You’ll be called Jesus!”
