Hosea 1:10-11
11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
The Jezreel Valley traveled between Nazareth and Bethlehem to the Birth of Jesus Christ.
The Children of God would meet the exact nature of God in Jesus Christ.
Hosea was encountering Life offering promise and delivering life with troubles to overcome. Hosea was realizing God was moving during His delight in looking into the hearts of mankind.

This may be the year Christmas is about memories, expectations, handmade gifts, photos framed and hobbies encouraged.
Christmas can be the Gift of Life: Baptism. Giving Life.
Christmas can be a journal, filled with all the family memories and given. Christmas can be Christmas cookies made and shared. For several years after my Grandmother Bit died, we gave her favorite foods in a Food Bank Gift Bag.
And Christmas might be giving at Church to families and foster families. To spread Love in the out-of-the-way places for Christmas.
One of our favorite things is visiting the larger Christmas trees with our own Coffee or Hot Chocolate. And one of our Church family goes to all the Christmas festivities in all the local Churches, going into the larger City. Christmas walking to see Christmas lights.
Deuteronomy 7:9
He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations.
Imagine the intricate Planning of the Book of Life.
Fully leading to Ephesians 3 - where families live on earth and in Heaven.
Psalm 147:3-5
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
Romans 8:28
For God causes all things to work together for good
for those who Love the Lord
and work according to His Purpose.
Isaiah 45:2
I have made you, and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and rescue you.
Philippians 1:6
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.
Psalm 91:14
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him.
I will protect him because he knows my name.
Lamentations 3:21-23
Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Isaiah 66:9
I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born.
Let all the Holy Days begin, newly made!
Abba, Father God,
Jesus has told us in Your Word, You are His Father and Our Father. Thank You.
When two or more are gathered, You are there. When we call on Jesus, He is there.
And in John's Gospel Chapters 16 and 17, Jesus prays for us. When we seek You, Father God and Call upon Jesus - we always pray together.
Father Dwell in us
and help us to be delightful to you.
Bless those we Love with Your Love in their lives.
Help us to seek You first
and we will finish well!
Finding more Heaven on earth.
Luke wrote of the prophets being long ago, You are as Vast as the Heavens and a Day to you is Thousands of Years. You are yesterday, today and tomorrow.
We turn again, to rejoice our heart, times of refreshing may come from the presence of You.
Christmas memories of what we would miss, will begin again. Eternity.
Continued healing.
We lift up the people we love, the people You have given to us with Love and the Nations and world who call upon You. Knowing in the Power of Your Word, we are upheld.
In Jesus the Lord. Amen.
