The wonder of being a child at Christmastime






As Andy was remarking yesterday, it is so amazing to think that the God of the universe was born as a baby and lived on earth. At one point, he was 13 months old and fell down as he was learning to walk and babbled as he was learning to talk. The God of the universe learning to walk! He emptied himself and lived a sinless life to ultimately sacrifice himself for our imperfections so that we could have an eternal relationship with him, full of everlasting joy both here on earth and in heaven. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving us when we have nothing to offer you. Thank you for loving us that much. Thank you God for your infinitely wise and grace-filled plan to save us from the beginning of time. I love you and offer you my life in joyful worship to you, full of wonder and awe just like a child.

Love your thoughts on God coming to be with us! The theme for the Christmas concert I sang in this year was Emmanuel, and it is still resonating in my heart. :)

Oh, I love the pic of Annaliese in the leaves... gorgeous!! :)
