Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son / Matthew 1:18-25
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.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

I am asking for help with a Meridian family. I have a co-worker that has been struggling for several years and can not get ahead. She has 4 children. Her youngest is 4 and her oldest is 18. Her husband is unable to work and has been denied disability twice so far. The 18 year old stays home to watch his baby sister and help his dad get around the house. She is behind on a bill right now. She has been crying to me because she has no money or any way of making extra money so her kids can have a Santa and a gift for Christmas. Salvation Army and Wesley House turned her down. If you are able to help me out with making sure these sweet kids have a Christmas please let me know. Any amount or gift is very much appreciated. Any money I collect I will have another LEMA member with me to help shop. Thank you so much for any help you can give.
