Yesterday, my mother made cookies and cookies and cookies! Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Cup Cookies! For lunch today she made Twice Baked Potatoes! They were delicious...along with her cookies! The storm is coming full speed ahead so today, the 24th, my Father ran to get some milk! Especially with cookies in the house, milk goes fast in our family!
But beyond the fact that the house smells like Christmas baking, we're listening to Christmas music, candles are burning, present are wrapped, and we're watching Christmas Classics...today is something more than the memories and the family! It the day we celebrate Jesus' birth! He is born, our King has come to rule the earth! Amen!
Matthew 1:23 - "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."
Luke 2:13-14 - "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
Isaiah 9: 6-7 - "For unto 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 increase 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."
How can anyone not want to celebrate this Mighty Lord's birth at Christmas time?! That is the greatest story ever told, and true! Hallelujah! Christ the Lord is born!
