Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Joseph

Matthew 1:18 - 21 and 24

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man,
and not willing to make her a publick example,
was minded to put her away privily.

But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying Joseph, thou son of David,
fear  not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

And she shall bring forth a son, 
and thou shalt call is name Jesus:
for He shall save His people from their sins.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord
had bidden him, and took unto him his wife.


May you have a blessed and peaceful Sunday.

One usually reads from Luke this time of year, but this passage is good.

Joseph is often overlooked, isn't he.
I feel sure God chose just the right man to be Jesus' foster father.

Joseph, so good. Thanks, Karen.

The Christmas Story is so beautiful from all views, but Joseph’s is particularly compelling. I have always love the Christmas music “Joseph’s Song” that touches on what may have been his thoughts. Very compelling.

Oh and You Tube has it; it is sung by Michael Card.
