Luke  2:8-14

⁸ And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Christmas

Time for the Christmas cheer!

Luke 2

The Birth of Jesus

¹ In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. ² (This was the first census that took place while^[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) ³ And everyone went to their own town to register.

⁴ So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. ⁵ He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. ⁶ While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, ⁷ and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! I HOPE EVERY ONE IS HAVING AN AWESOME THANKSGIVING AND EATING A BUNCH OF FOOD (Eat a piece of turkey and pie for me.)

Psalm 92

 

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

¹ It is good to praise the LORD
and make music to your name, O Most High,
² proclaiming your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
³ to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.

⁴ For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD;
I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
⁵ How great are your works, LORD,
how profound your thoughts!
⁶ Senseless people do not know,
fools do not understand,
⁷ that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.

⁸ But you, LORD, are forever exalted.

⁹ For surely your enemies, LORD,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
¹⁰ You have exalted my horn^[b] like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on me.
¹¹ My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

¹² The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
¹³ planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
¹⁵ proclaiming, “The LORD is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

 

Isn't he cute!

Berry Delicious

Check out these delicious cupcakes that I perfected in my kitchen!  You can make them too.  I will give you all the details.

First, make a batch of Duncan Hines French Vanilla cupcakes according to package.
Allow cupcakes to cool.

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the blackberry fillling.
Get out a pan and melt 4 tablespoons of butter.  Then add 4 tablespoons of sugar over low heat.
Next add several handfuls of blackberries, fresh or frozen. 
Then add jam of your choice, such as blackberry, raspberry, or grape.  Use about 1/2 cup of jam.  Add more sugar if needed, according to your tastes.
Allow to cool. 

Blackberry Filling

Next, cut out a circle of cake from the center of each cupcake.  Then spoon in the filling.  Replace cupcake centers.  Top the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Garnish each cupcake with a blackberry and drizzle some juice.
