The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it...
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the word became flesh and dwelt among us
and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
And from his fullness we have received grace upon grace.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of John
Chapter One
Verses one through eighteen
My prayer is that you would acknowledge the grace upon grace that you have received; the grace that comes only from His fullness, the same fullness that became flesh and dwelt among us so that we might become his children, his heir.

Merry Christmas.
Lots of love now and throughout the year, 
The Ingram Gang
