The beginning of Christmas

Tonight I enjoyed a bowl of Bailey’s spiked ice cream while sitting in my living room lit only by Christmas lights. I spent a lot of time last year working on garlands and wreaths, and this year I just have to hang them all up. So hurrah!!

This morning Mike preached about Christ who is crowned as King. He had a great quote from the Westminster Shorter Catechism: “Christ carries out the office of a King in subduing us to Himself, in ruling and defending us, and in restraining and conquering all His and our enemies.” Wow, what more can I add to that, except that I hadn’t really thought about some of those qualities of Christ before, or at least in those words.
