Carry
Five Minute Friday Challenge
When I go grocery shopping, I tend to do it all at once and carry out a week's worth of food, cleaning products, shampoo, etc. I can be stubborn at times, especially when I'm dealing with groceries.

Heather posted the Share Four Somethings post a week early, because of Christmas, and I'm a week late, for the same reason! I hope you have enjoyed my monthly posts on Share Four Somethings in 2021.

Behold
Five Minute Friday Challenge
"...Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy..." (Luke 2:10, NKJV) Behold means to gaze. What were the shepherds thinking when they beheld the bright star and heard the angels? I bet it was loud and glorious and they knew they needed to go find the baby.
