Back in June I posted about the One Person that truly makes my life complete. And today we're celebrating his birth. I mean, wow. Last night at my church's Christmas Eve service, one of the pastors said something that everyone has been dying to hear about for years... Christmas is all about gifts!! WOOHOO!!! Bring on the presents!
LOL - of course he was completely serious when he said it because he's right, Christmas IS all about gifts... THE gift. Because while I love everything tangible that I received over the past couple of days that came in a bag, box or stocking, the most amazing and wonderful gift was given well over 2000 years ago. The One Person that I can't live without was born in a stable in Bethlehem because there was no room for him and his parents in the inn. The love of my life, my One and Only, the Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God was born this day, in the city of David... and his first bed was a manger full of food for the animals in the stable.
Wow. I'm humbled, I'm honored, I'm down on my knees. Because the God of the universe loved me enough to give up his glory in heaven to lie in a bed of hay on the night of his birth. How could we ever ask for a more amazing and precious gift?
I pray each of you has had an amazing Christmas!
