What is it like for you when Christmas is all over? Is there trash everywhere...wrapping paper all around? We put together the toys and puzzles and swing set. Ugh! What was it like for Joseph and Mary? The angels were gone, the shepherds were gone, the magi were gone. Now it was time to head back to Nazareth and raise baby Jesus. We will look this weekend at what it was like for Joseph and Mary to raise this baby Jesus in a normal ordinary lifestyle.

We are looking at impatience. Our culture seems to push us all to hurry. We expect emails and texts to be answered quickly. We want next day delivery. Patience is a Godly virtue and we will examine what it means to make GOOD decisions not just QUICK decisions.
