I did learn that this is technically a Jubilee Year! Every 25 years celebrated. A year of mercy and forgiveness. The video I saw was for the Vatican Christmas eve. The continuity of forgiveness as the pope rolled through the door.

Yes, it’s still Christmas in Spirit and I picked up my ceramics project of painting the Nativity scene, nice and shiny now. Love the love.

Calendar Christmas and Jubilee and Easter are continuity of the Messiah making His Way to us. AND it’s the way of the forgiveness that Micah the prophet saw: But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

MICAH CONTINUES: Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the Lord’s wrath, until he pleads my case and upholds my cause. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.

GOD IS CONSISTENT AND REALLY FORGIVENESS IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. YES!

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago.

Thank You Lord for the NEW YEAR, a JUBILEE year reminder for giving forgiveness, and the CONSISTENT NEVER-ENDING YOU!

Amen
