VIDEO: The Christmas Story According to Luke Narrated by J.Q. Rose, Merry Christmas #Christmasstory #Jesusbirth

 Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from JQ Rose and Gardener Ted

Christmas is a special season of the year for shopping, parties, Christmas caroling, family get-togethers. It's easy to forget the holiday is not about Christmas trees, cookies and Santa Claus. Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth, God's son. 

In the darkness, Jesus is the light, offering us gifts of hope, joy and love.

 Every year, we look forward to hearing the story of Jesus birth, Mary and Joseph, the angels, the manger, the animals, the shepherds. The story is told and retold, and it never gets boring. In fact, it is comforting knowing that it never changes. The world changes, but not this story. Not Jesus and his work in the world.

I recorded the Christmas Story as presented in the book of Luke. If you have never heard it, please listen. If you are familiar with the story, please listen because each year I discover an insight, a question, a new idea and always peace, comfort and joy when listening to it. 

Wishing you the blessings of Hope, Joy, Peace and Love during this season and for the New Year 2023!

Our Greatest Need

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.

If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness and acceptance, so God sent us a Savior.

Wishing you all the hope, peace, love, and joy of this Christmas season!

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all the joy, wonder, love, and peace of the Christmas season and beyond.

Listen to my new favorite Christmas song by Kutless, This is Christmas. The words remind us that Christmas is truly about God's gift to the world, his son, Jesus. 

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

The Message of Love at Christmas

Merry Christmas image from freedigitalphotos.com by  nuttakit

What a marvelous, mysterious season of the year. The story of Jesus' birth is one I love to hear over and over again because it tells the story of how much God loves us. 

"This is how much God loved the world. He gave his Son, his one and only son....God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger at us, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again." according to John 3:16-17, The Message Bible

We have to take His teachings on love and put the world right again. Whether it is your world of family, friends, neighborhood, church, organizations, use love to find peace in your corner of the world. Can you envision peace like that? Love can do it,

Burt Bachrach's song, What the World Needs Now, isn't usually thought of as a Christmas song, but this year I am petitioning to put it right up there with Silent Night and Jingle Bells. Listen to Jackie DeShannon's recording of the song.
