ADVENT DAY FIVE

Advent Day Five December 5th the day our son was born. I snapped this picture of Ty saying goodmorning to Sawyer. Perfect way to start the day remembering how little our baby was.
We spent the evening at Paul and Amanda's house. Amanda made cupcakes and we sang and opened presents. It's so nice to have family here with us to celebrate our boy.

Our Scripture for the day:

Isaiah 11:1-10

The Reign of Jesse’s
Offspring

There shall come forth a Rod
from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

The Spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel
and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

His delight is in the
fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide
by the hearing of His ears;

But with righteousness He
shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He
shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His
lips He shall slay the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the
belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

“The wolf also shall dwell
with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the
young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

The cow and the bear shall
graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw
like the ox.

The nursing child shall play
by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s
den.

They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge
of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

“And in that day there
shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the
Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”
