Christmas Eve

Hey Readers!

Our Family Book Tree

M. asked me to write something for Christmas eve. I guess I will tell you a little about mine. We finished wrapping presents, cleaned the house, went to Church for a pretty simple service which included a reading of the Christmas story from what I think was probably the Children's Story Book Bible, something my church is really into. It was pretty cool to hear the Christmas story told accurately in words meant for a child to understand. We sang some familiar Christmas Carols and my pastor shared about a few words that describe both his father and Christmas. The one that stands out to me is humility. It must have taken a lot for the transcendent Creator and Lord of the universe to be completely dependent on sinful human beings, grow up in submission to them and then die at the hands of his created beings for the sake of saving them from certain death.

Praying for a blessed and more importantly Christ centered Christmas!

And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the 

wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

(Luke 1:80 ESV)
