"Hey Joseph keep walking, Hey Joseph keep walking
Hey Joseph keep walking to Bethlehem
Hey Joseph keep walking, Hey Joseph keep walking
Keep walking Joseph you're part of the plan"
Hey Joseph by Peter Mayer

A great gift that you can give this Christmas is the gift of encouragement. The storms of life coupled with bumps along the journey can tend to add up to sums which result in discouragement. So, you can make a difference by deciding to encourage those who are making and taking strides to reach their goals. And sometimes one needs to have that same talk with oneself.
A passage which has meant a great deal to me and continues to be like a guiding star is
Jeremiah 29:11, " For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."
Joseph had a plan, but that plan got changed when he learned that his fiancée was pregnant. He now had a new plan to put Mary away. But, God's heavenly plan collided or intersected with Joseph's plan which was built with fear, shame and worry.
Peter's song is all about encouragement, hope and grace,
"Hey Joseph keep walking, Hey Joseph keep walking
Hey Joseph keep walking to Bethlehem
Hey Joseph keep walking, Hey Joseph keep walking
Keep walking Joseph you're part of the plan"
The angel by the name of Adventure has wings made from a license plate and a key as a vest. During this last week of Advent the O Antiphons are read and said. Check out this one which reminds one of the "adventure of keep walkin.'"
O Key of David and Sceptre of the house of Israel, Who dost open and no man doth shut, Who dost shut and no man doth open, come and bring forth from his prisonhouse the captive that sitteth in darkness and in the shadow of death.
O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel; qui aperis, et nemo claudit; claudis, et nemo aperit: veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris, sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.
Keep walkin' & Sing joy
