Our Scripture reading today is Luke 2:15-16; 20.
 
Verse 20, "And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them."
 
The shepherds had a lot to say.  They had witnessed what had been foretold over 700 years earlier.  I am sure they could not stop talking about what had just happened.  Think about all that God has allowed you to see and hear in 2024.  He is continuously blessing our lives.  It is our responsibility and privilege to pass along to others what God has done in our lives.  Some of you were saved this year.  Some of you were baptized this year.  Some of you faced challenges.  We all can say that God has been faithful to us at each and every turn of life.  We can all glorify and praise God!
