Christmas 2005
Love came down at Christmas
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.
- Christina Rossetti
Luke 2:12 "And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the baby
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
"Let the Stable Still Astonish"
- by Leslie Leyland Fields
Let the stable still astonish:
Straw-dirt floor, dull eyes,
Dusty flanks of donkeys, oxen;
Crumbling, crooked walls;
No bed to carry that pain,
And then, the child,
Rag-wrapped, laid to cry
In a trough.
Who would have chosen this?
Who would have said: "Yes,
Let the God of all the heavens and earth
be born here, in this place." ?
Who, but the same God
Who stands in the darker, fouler rooms of our hearts
and says, "Yes, let the God of heaven and earth be born here -
in this place."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal
life."
2 Corinthians 9:15 "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
Christmas Blessings to you and all of yours!
Amen?
AMEN!
