   aware of what Advent and Christmas are all about. we will miss the point!   
      
   Today's reading is the point: When it was time, God sent Jesus unto the   
   world! Perhaps this message has been heard and used so much that it is   
   hard to keep aware of the meaning of Christmas: God loves us so much   
   that Jesus was born, died and rose again for us! Sure, go ahead and   
   wrap gifts. put trees up, bake cookies, say "ho. ho. ho." But as you do so,   
   continue to be aware that Christ is Christmas ... period! Please do not be   
   like a friend who says. "Keep Christ in Xmas!" He still doesn't get it!   
      
   Prayer   
      
   Lord. it was time, and so you came to us. Help us during this Advent   
   season to be aware that you are already with us, even in the turmoil   
   and rush of the season. And help us to be ambassadors of your   
   awareness--an awareness of us and of all people.   
   In Jesus' name. Amen ... and AH-HA!   
      
   Read Galatians 4:4-5   
      
   4 (Mk 1:15; Jn 1:14; Ge 3:15) But when the fullness of time came,   
   God sent forth His Son, born from a woman, born under the law,   
   5 (Gal 3:26; Jn 1:12) to redeem those who were under the law,   
   that we might receive the adoption as sons.

   5 (Ps 37:3; 37:5) Trust in the Lord with all your heart,   
   and lean not on your own understanding;   
   6 (1Ch 28:9; Pr 16:3; Jer 10:23) in all your ways acknowledge Him,   
   and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (MEV)   
      
   "5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;   
   And lean not unto thine own understanding.   
   6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,   
   And he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)   
      
   In late September, a group of nine from our church embarked on a   
   car journey to Fort Smith, Northwest Territories to lead a Bible   
   Camp for children aged 5 to 11. As a grandmother of five and   
   someone who loves children, I looked forward to a wonderful week   
   with the kids - perhaps up to 30 of them. I was eager to share   
   stories, build connections, and meet a few more grandmothers too.   
   However, God's plan was different from what I had envisioned. The   
   only grandmothers I encountered were two I introduced myself to   
   at the grocery store, and not as many children as we had planned   
   for attended our camp. When it became clear the week would not   
   unfold as I had pictured in my mind, I prayed for guidance and   
   wisdom so I could switch gears and adapt to the new   
   circumstances.   
   Joseph and Mary had to trust in the Lord our God for their journey   
   as well. Joseph wanted to release Mary from their engagement   
   when he found out she was with child. After he heard from God, he   
   had to switch gears. Together they had to trust when they were   
   required to make a sudden and unexpected journey to Bethlehem.   
   A trip that meant Jesus would be born far away from home.   
   Joseph and Mary submitted their ways to God and placed their   
   total trust in the Lord even though their circumstances were vastly   
   different from what they had imagined. Similarly, we can place our   
   trust in God and his plan even when things don’t go the way we   
   expect them to. God’s plan is always the best!
