Wordless Wednesday: Arriving in Italy, 1976

According to my notes, this is after we got off the boat in Bari, Italy, but there's several other places it could be.  My slide tray of Europe pics got dropped a few times, and this shot, while pretty, isn't distinctive enought to shout its location.

January 6: The Twelfth Day of Christmas

Frankincense and Myrrh

We returned home another way,

The Eternal One

Showed us Herod's lie.

No worshipper he, save of himself.

We followed along the path the LORD showed us.

We who love Him must always

Choose His path rather than men's,

It is the same choice He made

For us.

January 5: The 11th Day of Christmas

EMBRACE

Adonai, forgive

Forgive my doubt, my panic.

i cannot say anything but yes.

To say no is to lose You.

Though You slay me, i am Yours,

Body and soul.
           Mary, after pondering Simeon's and Anna's messages

Job 13:15

January 4: The 10th Day of Christmas

Praise Yahweh!

Listen, everyone! Listen, you! Yes, you right there!

The LORD's redemption is here!

See that little baby?

He is our promised Redeemer.

Watch Him.

Everyone, God has given us a Son, a

Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace,

Himself in a Babyform.

January 3: The Ninth Day of Christmas

PANIC

Who is this old man?

Who is this Babe?

Many fall and rise? Salvation to Gentiles too?

A sword pierce my soul?

What have i gotten into?

Adonai, is it too late to change all this?
i thought we'd come through the rough part!
 

January 2: The Eighth Day of Christmas

ARRIVED

And now

The day You promised has arrived.

I have seen Your salvation with my own eyes.

Please take me home, Lord, as You promised.

This is a special Child you hold here.

People will divide over Him, their thoughts known,

Israel's glory will shine through Him,

And your own soul be pierced.

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: January 1, the Seventh Day of Christmas

WORDLESS

In Honor of Those Who Have Nothing to Say

Most of us leave a legacy of words.

Some speak endlessly.

Others fluently

Or haltingly.

Some leave a legacy in what we do.

Surely Joseph said something over his lifetime,

but Scripture attributes no words to him.

He was a just man.

He considered the unpalatable options.

He heard the angel.

He obeyed.

He faithfully cared for those in his charge as long

as he drew breath.
