Luke 1:31

** Image ID #1831170 Unavailable **

And, behold! Thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus.'"





Isaiah 7:14


Luke 1:31





Bud talks about these verses in his entry as good news/bad news situation.





“Guess what Mary! You are favored by God and the Messiah is coming and guess who is going to carry him? That’s right! You, a virgin, young woman will have to explain to her parents and fiancé that she is pregnant. And what about the village? Oh yes it’s going to be a good time.”





Okay that was a little sarcastic but true. Sometimes it’s better to smile to keep from crying.





Bud also asks about the good news/bad news situations in our own lives. That’s very easy. My hubby and I have played this scene many times.





Hubby: “Hi Honey


I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?”


Me: “Just tell me.”


Hubby: “Pick”


Me: sigh “The bad news”


Hubby: “I’m going on the road for 3 months.”


Me: “Again?! What’s the good news?”


Hubby: “ I still have a job and with overtime and bonuses, we can pay for the new roof.”


Me:"#%##$!"








When dear hubby was in the military and then the reserves, this scene had more anxiety. Now with his jobs since, it’s been even more travel. I’m glad he has a job in this rocky economy. It’s just hard to go it alone. Companionship is one of the reasons I got married. Hubby and I joke of the 15yrs we’ve been married only half of them have been in the same zip code.








Of course this could be God’s way of asking me lean on Him. Good news. I just wish I had seen that sooner.
