GospeL Verses ~ Luke 2:39-52
39 - And when Mary and Joseph had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to their own town of Nazareth, in the district of Galilee. 40 And the child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him. 41 Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up as was their custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, and they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, and Mary and Joseph didn’t know it, 44 but supposed he was in the group. They had gone a day's journey, when they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 And when they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, and searched for him there. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting with the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and answers. 48 But when his parents saw him, they were dismayed, and Mary said, “Son, why have you treated us so? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know I would be in my Father's house?” 50 But they didn’t understand what he meant. 51 And he went with them and they came to Nazareth and Jesus was submissive to them. But Mary stored these things up in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 2 Corinthians 6:1-10
1 - Working with the Lord, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,
“In a favorable time I listen to you, and in a day of salvation I help you.” Behold, now is the favorable time! Behold - now - is the day of salvation. 3 We strive to put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our service, 4 but as workers for God we commend ourselves, through our endurance during problems, disasters, and stressful situations. 5 We went through beatings, imprisonments, and riots. We experienced hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger, 6 with purity, knowledge, patience, and generosity. We served with the Holy Spirit, with genuine love, 7 by truthful speech, and with the power of God. And with weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left, 8 through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as fakers and imposters, and yet we are true, 9 as unknown, and yet we are well known, as dying, and yet we live, as denounced, and yet not killed, 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing, as poor, yet making many rich, as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
