ALMOST THERE

Snippet

And at this day, the blessedness brought to us by Christ cannot 

be the subject of our praise, without reminding us, at the same 

time, of the distinguished honor which God was pleased to 

bestow on Mary, in making her the mother of his Only Begotten 

Son.  John Calvin: Commentary on Luke 1:42

Scripture

And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, 

and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore 

the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.  And 

behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived 

a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 

For nothing will be impossible with God.”  And Mary said, 

“Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according 

to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:35-38

Song 

Almost There

Mary, full of innocence

Carrying the Holy prince

You're almost there, you're almost there

Mother of the Living Word

Trusting in the voice you heard

You're almost there, you're almost there

You're almost where the angels see

Redemption's plan unfolding

All hope is in the Son you'll bear

You're almost there

A lonely road, a willing heart

Pray for strength to do your part

You're almost there, you're almost there

Trust the Father to provide

Bread of heaven prophesied

You're almost there, you're almost there

You're almost where the waiting ends

Delivering the life within

The answered prayer, Emmanuel

You're almost there

You're almost where the journey ends

Where death will die and life begins

The answered prayer, Emmanuel

You're almost, almost there

Sentence Prayer

Lord, it sounds so easy to follow you because you only call us to 

love.  But love is too much for us!  Overwhelm us with your love 

so that our song of praise might continue in patient kindness and 

generous support of our neighbors throughout the day.  Amen

(Common Prayer A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals pg 74)

Starting January 1st I will no longer do daily devotions, there are two years worth of daily devotions on my blog http://www.windtales.blogspot.com. I will make the devotion weekly on classic country. I am going to use the time to find an mobile application developer or publisher to make them available to the public.  Pray I find the right outlet for my devotions.
