Ascend Advent 2022 Day 6: Handling the Unexpected
Unexpected things happen, and life will throw up surprises, some of them welcome, some less so. Just look at 2020 for a reminder of how quickly things can change. The things we did and saw during lockdown would have been unimaginable, just months beforehand. Life is unpredictable, and we don’t know what’s coming next.
Today's Scripture
"This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: his mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly." Matthew 1:18-19
Key takeaway for the day:
