You know the story ⎼⎼ an infant, born in a stable, worshiped by lowly shepherds and travelers from the East. Sweet story, but does it hold any meaning for your life today?
Consider this. The entire Bible pivots on this single event in history. The Old Testament predicts it, and the New Testament confirms it. The child lying in that tiny manger was no ordinary child ⎼⎼ He was God incarnate, who came to live and die for you. The story won't be fully told until you bow your knee to Bethlehem's Babe and call Him the Lord of your life.
What Can I Give Him?
by Christina Rossetti
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb.
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part
Yet what can I give him?
I give Him my heart.
And a quote by Erma Bombeck: There's nothing sadder in this world than to wake
Christmas morning and not be a child.

Hi Charlotte, I have tried to visit today and our net has been down because of bad snowy weather. In the mountains where we live it happens often.
ReplyDeleteYour post today is sweet. Irma's quote makes one think. We need to keep the Happy Christmas spirit in our hearts no matter how old we are. Smile.
Blessings and warm hugs,
