Merry Christmas to all my family and friends.
I pray that today among all the presents, the wonderful time with family and friends, and the awesome food, that you take time to understand that it would not be possible if so many years ago a "Special" baby didn't cry. Please let us make this Christmas one that we understand, or maybe for some, begin to understand, what it is truly all about.
See, it is not about, the presents, though they bring a short lived joy. It is not about all the good food that we are blessed to have an over abundance of. No to be perfectly honest it is not even about all our beloved family and friends, that we are truly blessed with. It is all about that little baby that cried "I am here for you"!!!
I once heard a quote from a 7 year old that said, "Love is what is in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen."
That is the love of Jesus Christ who with every breath you take is is saying, "I am here for you!"
Please take time to listen.
The Baby Cried
The baby cried, and God spoke
amid the hay on the ground.
The King of Kings lay in a manger
with animals all around.
The baby cried, the Lord did speak
but not many did heard the sound.
Just Mary, Joseph and three wise men
with the animals gathered around.
The baby cried, it was the Great I Am,
and that sound you can hear today.
The Angels voices rang from Heaven,
Christ was born in Bethlehem so far away.
The baby cried, and the Savior said,
I am the Holy One,
Then God the Father spoke to all,
behold my glorious Son!
Dear friends and family please listen close
to hear this baby’s cry!
The sound of love that He did speak,
was meant for you and I!
