After the scholars were gone, Gods angel showed up again in Joseph's dream and commanded, "Get up. Take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt...
Joseph obeyed. He got up, took the child and his mother under cover of darkness. They were out of town and well on their way by daylight...
Matthew 2:13-14 MSG
Boxing Day drama!
Dreams, angels, and on the run...but there's also obedience.
Joseph followed God's call.
This Boxing Day, what does God call us to?
Me?
He's said I'd like you to encourage someone who you wouldn't usually contact & thank them for what you've seen them do this year...
If no angels visited, then will you ask God to place someone on your heart to bless and encourage today?
May be a pastor, a friend, someone who gave you great advice, someone who served...send a boxing day gift of blessing to someone who wouldn't usually hear from you..

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
