And It Came to Pass


Luke 2: 8-14
8
¶ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

Hello Shelia,
I got your email and am glad you are happy to have won the giveaway. Should I send the first prize listed -- the nativity set --to you or give the second winner a choice?
The prizes are at my home where I hope to return tomorrow, Monday morning.

Good Morning, Sweet Friends! And "Amen" to your "Amens"! :-)

Thank you for dropping by this morning. I have about five minutes to reply before I have to leave for the day, but I will check in later and visit everyone's blogs!

Carrie, I thought about it last night, and I would love to have a nativity set since mine is a miniature, but I will happily take the plate (it's lovely, too) if the second winner really wants the nativity set! I just appreciate your generosity. Thank you so much! :-)

XO,

Sheila

Bo said...

Hi Sheila...I could steal that plate so it's a good thing your shepherd angel is guarding it! Loved the scripture too! ;-) Bo

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Hi, Bo and Alex! So nice to see you. :-)

Bo, that plate was a gift from one of my very dearest friends. She has given me a set of 12 over the years, and I love them because they remind me of her! :-)

Alex, I hope you have a good week, too! Big hugs! :-)

XO,

Sheila

Carrie said...

Sheila,It seems that both of you want the plate. As it is, I have a another plate in the series, so I will send you the one pictured and send the other to the second winner, at a Hint of Home.
Please send me your address. It seems I will not be going home until Wednesday since the power is expected to be restored on Tuesday night.
