12/19/2021 The journey to Bethlehem continues. Like the wise men of old we follow the small light like a star hoping it will lead us to something more, something good. We do not know how many wise men there were according to the Bible but there were three gifts. Maybe God knew over the years there had been and would continue to be many who would journey with hope to hope.

This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me have hope, beyond hope.

The Advent of Jesus was the eternal completion of what began with the sacrifice of animals which we see as far back as Abel who was the first martyr by Cain who was the first murderer. Just as God offered grace to Adam and Eve grace was offered to Cain. Paul was a killer of God’s people who would become the greatest evangelist and theologian and be a martyr. Grace is truly amazing!!!

From my Grace Journal. It was suggested to start a Grace Journal as a reminder of our need not for agreement but grace to guide our relationships.
