CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Caitlyn and Caroline spent the night, last night, we had a really good time, as you can see we baked cookies, we had a lot of fun making them, it got a little messy but it all got cleaned up, the Christmas program is tomorrow night at church, so they are going to take some of them for refreshments. We made enough for here and some for them to eat at home, besides the ones they will take to church.

I got up early yesterday and went shopping, I got most of it done, most of the time I have more of my shopping done than I do this year, but I have enough of it done that I can wait until we get off for Chrismas, then I will have free time and can do it.

LUKE

1; 18 And Zechariah said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.

20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

21 And the people waited for Zechariah, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying.

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth.
