Jesus humbled Himself.
He went from commanding angels...
To sleeping in the straw.
From holding stars...
To clutching Mary’s finger.
The palm that held the universe...
took the nail of a soldier.
Why?
Because that’s what love does.
The Gift of God.
The birth of Christ.
This is Christmas.
This is Love.
“This is how we know what Love is:
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us….”
1 John 3:16
Merry CHRISTmas!
May you enjoy the celebration of the
Birth of the King's Son.

P.S. I did not write this myself. It was an e-mail I recieved that I added pictures to. I thought it was very fitting for Christmas. RLH

Thank you for sharing this. It is always so easy to get "caught up" in the activities surrounding this holiday and lose sight of what we really want to celebrate. He has come!
Oh wonderful!!!! That is really good. It really just makes you stop in awe at what he did for me... a lowly sinner who isn't worth anything. Yet He has made me something by refining me...
Thanks for sharing, especially now around the busyness of the season. :)
Love you!!
And praise the Lord it didn't end with His birth!
Wonderful words and pictures to go along with it, dear Rebecca! Much love to you!
So true, Rebecca. Reminds me of a great quote by John Donne...
“The whole of Christ’s life was a continual passion; others die martyrs, but Christ was born a martyr. He found a Golgotha, where He was crucified, even in Bethlehem, where He was born; for His tenderness then the straws were almost as sharp as the thorns after, and the manger as uneasy at first as the cross at last. His birth and His death were but one continual act, and His Christmas Day and His Good Friday are but the evening and the morning of one and the same day. From the creche to the cross is an inseparable line. Christmas only points forward to Good Friday and Easter. It can have no meaning apart from that, where the Son of God displayed His glory by His death.”
Rebecca,
What beautiful words, and I liked the pictures that you chose to accompany these writings.
Blessings,
