Christmas Advent 2012 Day 6

December 7, 2012 Most of my childhood memories of Christmas took place at my grandmother's house. We would load the car with luggage and presents and take off to her house. When we finally made it, the first thing after hugs was to check out the dining room. That's where all the pies, homemade candy, and of course the white Christmas cake was. It was the one with the silver sugar beads and little red-hot on top of the ooey gooey white icing. My grandmother never failed to have everything prepared for her two favorite grandsons. Besides, that's all she had. Going to her house was an event we always looked forward to. The nation of Israel looked forward with great anticipation to the coming of the Messiah to provide deliverance from oppression and provide the things they longed for. As we continue to prepare for Christmas let us make the heart preparation and live in expectation of God doing something only He can do. Read Isaiah 9:6 with the devotional thought for today, It's something to think about.
