Over 2000 years ago today a King was born to a young woman named Mary that was visited by an Angle named Gabriel. Gabriel told the Jewish woman she would have a son named Jesus and that he would be the "Son of Man"
Mary and Joseph had to travel to a small town named Bethlehem because of an order from the Roman Emperor for a census to be counted of all people from their hometown. When Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem they were told that there were no places to stay, the Inns were all full.
The owner of one inn seeing that Mary was due at any time, told Joseph they may stay in the Stable.
Mary and Joseph settled down on the hay in a stable with animals sleeping, Mary went into labor and Jesus was born in the manger.
At this time an angle appeared to three wise men watching their flock of sheep, the angle told them the good news of the birth of the King of Kings. They followed the bright North star to the town of Bethlehem where they Knelt and worshiped and bestowed the King gifts.
Today we celebrate the birth of Christ, a child that was born a King and was crucified on a cross with two thieves.
Geni and I wish you and your families MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New year!
