I've been pondering the real Gift of Christmas. So often I've just focused on His arrival....the meager circumstances....the young parents, etc. This year, however, I've been looking through the glass of Christmas the other way. Where He came from....the sacrifice of coming to us....maybe even how the angels guarded His birth and the preciousness of the gift from the Giver. It was a HUGE gift....a gift that was thought of for a long time and how expectant God must have been when it was given. Then I think of the vulnerability of Jesus as a baby. Totally dependant on Mary and Joseph to protect and nurture him....WOW!!
So here is to expectant giving....May I do more of it in 2009!!
Merry Christmas to all who visit me here! Mary
