WOYWW: Zechariah and Joseph

Well, I remembered it was Wednesday when

I was halfway done with my little painting.

I was drawing Zechariah, 

he who did not believe the angel's words.

And who could blame him?!!!

He was old, his wife Elizabeth was old,

and the angel said they were going to have a son!!!

So naturally, Zechariah asked how that could be!

Unlike Zechariah, Joseph believed the angel

when he was told the even more implausible 

prophecy that his betrothed would be with child

THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!

I am more like Zechariah.

I need to say like the centurion,

"Lord, help my unbelief!"

I am not like Joseph

who obeyed right away.

"This humble, faithful carpenter

fully embraced his role as guardian

and teacher, father and guide,

to the eternal Son of God."

(Word Among Us)

Lord, thank you for St. Joseph.

May he inspire me to be faithful,

to fully embrace the role you've given me

in your wonderful plan!

I was almost running out of my wrapping paper

so I decided to use kraft paper

and make snowflakes out of white paper

with writing at the back.

Recycled gift wrap!!!

Proverbs 4 says:

"Keep your heart with all diligence;

for out of it are the issues of life."

I thought it was time for a

Christmas Giveway.

Here's an ATC I made

and the design was made into a necklace.
