WHO IS IT?

WHO IS IT?
Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gather the wind by the handful?
Who has bound up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is this person's name
and the name of this person's child-
if you know it?
Proverbs 30:4
(CEB)

We all know the name! It is God, and His son, Emmanuel!

WHAT WOULD BE MISSING

"It is the glory of God to hide something and the glory of kings to discover something." Proverbs 25:2 (CEB)

If everything was right in front of us, we would miss the beauty of what was behind it. Seeking for it, the excitement of discovering it, enjoying it in awe and placing it in our memory is what makes the moment glorious, praising God for the joyous gift.

How thrilled our Lord will be, if we present Him with gifts of humility, peace, love, gratitude,compassion for one another and a daily prayer of praise!

REMINISCING

"Let's enjoy all the good things of life now. Let's enjoy creation to the fullest as we did in our youth." Wis.2:6
What a beautiful Christmas reflection this passage is! Taking us back to our childhood years, we can dream about the ornaments carefully placed on the tree with each having a memory. We were not afraid to sing all the Christmas carols, no matter how off key, among our group of friends. We made cards for the family, never replacing “Christ” with an “X.” Never would we miss hearing the holiday bell ringers, playing every Christmas song, listening to them in awe, those hollowed, silent, bells making glorious sounds. Waking up to the glistening snow, we would warmly bundle up to run outside and make snow angels. As we moved our legs and arms in formation and our faces upwards, the continued snowflakes fell upon us. Our eyes and mouths open, we would scream with joy as the cold snow hit our eyelashes and tongues. We would come in with frozen red cheeks, laughing, being greeted with cups of hot chocolate topped with mini-marshmallows, our parents pulling off our coats, boots and hats as we sipped, cookies on the table waiting for us. Waiting, as we are for the birth of the Christ child, thanking God for all of life He has given us!
