THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

in #gratefulvibes7 years ago (edited)

Hello fellow Steemians,
The Christmas season is upon us, and here at my home we display a manger scene in the front yard. It depicts the birth of Jesus in a manger. This is the true reason for the Christmas season. Me and my family always want to keep this in mind, as there are so many distractions. I have also included a few photo's of our manger display. Feel free to write and tell me what you display, include photo's if you wish, I would love to see them.
Thanks ~ @paradise-found

Below is the story of the birth of Jesus from the Holy Bible

Luke 2:1-20 (NIV)

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

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. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 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.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

I haven't done any decorating for Christmas this year. My daughter is usually the one that enjoys doing it and she isn't coming home this year because she's working. I think your manger display is wonderful though. I love seeing all the different decorations this time of year. :D
Merry Christmas to you and yours. :D God bless you all. Have an awesome day! :D

Thanks Frosty!!
