I love this time of year - love ALL of it!!! Love to bake all the traditional Christmas cookies, cook all the food that we "just have to have" on our Christmas dinner table, love to go to shopping for the perfect gifts, decorating the house, sending Christmas cards, you know, all that good stuff!!! Sometimes it's easy to get so wrapped up in all the preparations for this great holiday that we forget what it's really about.
Just imagine that we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Just imagine that the King of Kings was born in a filthy stable... There were no cozy blankets, no diapers, no wet wipes or onezies... There was no warm water for Maria to wash up in after giving birth... Our Lord, that means everything to us came to this world as a vulnerable little baby. He is not a baby anymore though - He is the Almighty, the King och Kings and Lord of Lords - and He is the One that we celebrate this season!
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Is 9:6-7
So, for every cookie you bake, every gift you wrap and every meal you make - remember that it's to make the birthday of our Jesus as perfect as can be!
