A Crazy Amazing Thing
ADVENT
A New Birth~
A BABY!
5 years ago today,
when I started this blog
writing to
GOD
to answer the question~
"WHO IS THIS BABY",
through ADVENT,
HE answered
just as HE still does
as I haven't stopped writing to
HIM
every morning
when HE greets me
like it is
CHRISTMAS morning.
Oh the ANTICIPATION.
Oh the EXPECTATION.
Oh the JOY
of what is to come
that brings me back to
when I was a child
whose
ANTICIPATION & EXPECTATION
was so overwhelming
as I waited for
CHRISTMAS Morning
to see what Santa was to bring me.
I had great
HOPE in Santa
because I knew he always shows up
on CHRISTMAS morning.
Now that same
ANTICIPATION & EXPECTATION
fills me as a grown up child,
but not for Santa
but for the
BIRTH of THE BABY
that changed my life~
the day HE was BIRTHED in my heart.
Oh how I do not want JESUS to be buried
amongst the tinsel & bows,
because HE isn't about a day or a season.
What difference does the BIRTH OF A BABY make in your life?
Does HE keep giving on THE DAY AFTER December 25?
On December 26th,
is there one unopened package under your tree~
A GIFT wrapped with PROMISES
which has the power to change
December 26 & the Days after that.?
What is the one and only GIFT that delivers on all its PROMISES?
It is all wrapped up in
THE CHRISTMAS STORY~
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a SAVIOR,
who is CHRIST the LORD..." (Luke 2:8-14)
CHRISTMAS is not just about a day
or a season
as it continues beyond
December 25
&
THE DAY AFTER
&
THE DAY AFTER THAT
&
THE DAY AFTER THAT
Because
it is all about
THE BIRTH OF A BABY
in your life.
THIS BABY
is the
GIFT
that unwraps
A NEW HOPE,
A NEW PEACE,
&
A NEW JOY
in your mind, body & soul.
The GIFT that keeps giving as
One Size Fits All~
ALL people,
EVERY circumstance,
EVERY emotion~
ALL of us~
who have such different stories,
yet ALL are offered the same GIFT.
Have you missed THE BABY?
Have you unwrapped THE BABY and are being wrapped in HIM?
Or
Have you opened this GIFT, but have put HIM away for a bit
and forgot about HIM?
Or
Have you heard about the GIFT,
yet don't know if you really opened it or not?
Or
Have you not felt a need for this GIFT?
What difference has
BABY JESUS~
the main character of the CHRISTMAS STORY made in your life?
Are you ready to unwrap
THE BABY
who came from
RICHES
to be swaddled in our
RAGS
so that
HE
could clothe us all in
HIS RICHES~
because
Isn't that WHAT CHRISTMAS IS all about Charlie Brown? (watch video below)
