Thanksgiving 2006
Plans were wrecked
Best Holiday yet
WE
Have you ever made plans for something and all of the sudden everything falls apart?
Usually bad, but can you think of a time when something didn’t go as planned, but instead it went better?
Dr’s visit, meeting with the boss, family vacation...
The best made plans don’t come from human hands.
There is no better way to see this than in the Christmas story
GOD
Distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem was 90 miles
Mary was due to have the baby at any time
Rode on a donkey for 90 miles
Joseph didn’t call ahead and make reservations
No place to stay
Stay in a cave where the animals were hung out
Joseph didn’t bring the right supplies
He didn’t bring the pack and play
Jesus was born in a feeding trough
They didn’t even pack baby clothes
They did not plan on Mary going into labor on the way
YOU
Sometimes, it is what WE can’t see, that makes for a better plan.
God wanted no one to doubt that Jesus was the Messiah
“A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another in a tangible form.”
Sol LeWitt
Life as a tapestry but we only see the back
Sometimes, the smallest inconveniences make the greatest memories.
The Christmas story would not be as exciting if Jesus was born in at the hospital.
2000 years later we are still telling this story
In the greatest chaos, came the greatest peace
US
Who is directing your steps?
Are you okay with God changing your plans?
The greatest peace comes when we let God direct our steps.
