Getting ready for Christmas!

Thinking often about Jesus
“The shepherds ran to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. Then the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, but Mary quietly treasured these things in her heart and thought about them often.” Luke 2:16-19 (New Living Translation)
