wishing you all this and more as you celebrate christmas this year.
"Glory to the newborn King.
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
we've been singing this song a lot this season with the boys. perhaps because it's the song they sing at the end of charlie brown's christmas, but either way i like it.
but one night i found myself explaining to the boys what that last line means. and it hit me afresh. this is what christmas is about. this is why we celebrate. we've been reconciled with God because of jesus humbling himself to enter into time and earth as the most helpless of creatures - a human baby.
this christmas season, i am thankful again for the love of a saviour who would come as a baby, a light into the darkness, to rescue me. to reconcile me to God.
amen and amen.
Thanks - that's a great reminder. Funny how when we teach our kids, we ourselves learn much more! God bless you as you celebrate over the next days! Love and Joy come to you! Mom
