Merry CHRISTmas!
What a day! It was a little strange not going to church today, but last night was awesome. We celebrated with the family today and it has been a great day! We have laughed and cried and prayed together. It has been wonderful!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Luke 1:26-38, Matthew 1:18-24, Luke 2:1-20 - The Christmas Story. Jesus came to earth for the salvation of all in a way that only God could do.
It has been our family tradition to read the Christmas Story on Christmas Eve, even if we had attended a Christmas Eve service. Just to listen as my Dad reads stirs up so many emotions. I look at the story and can't believe that God loved us and loves us that much.
I read a couple of quotes that really brought it home today. The first was from Max Lucado and he said, "Happy Birthday Jesus. If only we'd known, Your manger was a Throne. Come soon, dear King. Come soon to take us home."
The second was a quote from Greg Laurie: "History swings on the hinge of the door of a Stable in Bethlehem!"
Wow! It was all God's Plan and the world was changed forever! His Plan of Salvation was put in motion. Have you ever wondered what Mary and Joseph's conversation might have been that night at the delivery of the King?
We used to listen to a record (yes I am that old!) called, "The Night the Animals Talked". The Christmas Story was told from their point of view and it was wonderful. All the animals knew He was the King and they gathered close to keep Him warm.
"Away in a manger, no crib for a bed; the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay; the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay."
Enjoy the rest of your Christmas Day!
