advent reading 16.

Well, after switching up locations for the movie part of the Christmas party, everything turned out to be a success :)  I will put pictures up later, but we had TONS of food and our friend Jade [Natalie's husband, and it was also her birthday last night! :)] was the mastermind behind the movie hook-ups.  It was a great, relaxing night to end a hectic semester.  This morning we went into St. George's with Phil and his mom who is visiting til Saturday.  The guys needed to get their visas extended, so we stopped at the government buildings first, then after that was over [MUCH faster for them then for me!] we toured Fort George, walked around the market, walked around the Carenage and then ate at the best restaurant here so far - The Schnitzelhaus. That's right - it was real German food by real Germans, done with a little Grenadian fling, and it was EXCELLENT.  We finally came home wiped out, and I just woke up from a 3 hour nap [still feeling sick - guess I needed it!!] And J is still snoozing a bit on the couch.  Such a WONDERFUL feeling to just go home and NAP! With nothing else pressing to do!!!  Hooray! And now it is raining which makes naps all the better.  I might just make myself something warm to drink just because :)  I have no idea what we are doing tonight, and that feels great, too :)  Hope all is well as the days count down closer and closer to Christmas!  Much love.

PS - J got ALL A's in his first term classes!!!!! :):):)  Congratulations, my love!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Micah 4:1-7
All nations shall find peace from the God of Jacob.

It shall come to pass  in the latter days

that the mountain of the house of the LORD

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

and it shall be lifted up above the hills;

and peoples shall flow to it,

and many nations shall come, and say:

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

to the house of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways

and that we may walk in his paths.”

For out of Zion shall go forth the law,

and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between many peoples,

and shall decide for strong nations far away;

and they shall  beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruning hooks;

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore;

but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,

and no one shall make them afraid,

for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.

For  all the peoples walk

each in the name of its god,

but  we will walk in the name of the LORD our God

forever and ever.

In that day, declares the LORD,

I will assemble the  lame

and gather those who have been driven away

and those whom I have afflicted;
and the lame I will make  the remnant,

and those who were cast off, a strong nation;

and the LORD will reign over them  in Mount Zion

from this time forth and forevermore.
