Pre-Christmas Childlike Anticipation

I cannot explain it, but about this date every year, yes, on or about December 23rd, I get a fresh dose of childlike celebration from an undeniable Pre-Christmas anticipation that spreads like a strange and wonderful warmth throughout the depths of my soul. It's as if my heart is a welcoming manger and the Bouncing Baby Boy of Heaven, Jesus the Baby King, is laughing out loud because of the Life and Hope He knows He has brought to me from Heaven when He was delivered on Christmas Day.

Lord, my heart is Bethlehem. Thanks for being born again within my eternal soul. Amen.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!

I posted this Youtube once already this month. Hear it again.

God Came As A Child To Touch Our Lives

During this Christmas season, let's not forget that Almighty God became a baby, yes a child, in part so He could disarm us, yes draw us near to Himself and touch our lives with His Amazing Love on earth and for eternity.

This video about the life of a child named Josiah Viera has the miraculous DNA of the Christmas Story throughout it. You might want a tissue or a box of tissues by your side before you click the link.

TIME Magazine's Person of the Year?

This morning I heard a news station talking about who should be TIME Magazine's Person of the Year? Who's your person of the year? I cast my vote for The Baby, yes, count my vote for The little bitty, Baby Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem.

The Christ Child may not be TIME'S Person of the Year, but rest assured He already has been HISTORY'S Person Across the Years and will continue to be ETERNITY'S Person Beyond the Years.

ALL... JOY TO YOUR WORLD!
