SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 1:39-45

39 Mary got up and went quickly to a town in the hills of Judea.

40 She came to Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth.

41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the unborn baby inside her jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42 She cried out in a loud voice, "God has blessed you more than any other woman, and he has blessed the baby to which you will give birth.

43 Why has this good thing happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me?

44 When I heard your voice, the baby inside me jumped with joy.

45 You are blessed because you believed that what the Lord said to you would really happen."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
