The Magic of Christmas


Remember how you thought Christmas was so magical
when you were a kid?
Our son sent me this photo of his boys
decorating their Christmas tree.

And now that I'm older, I realize that
It IS magical.
God in flesh appearing!
Born as a babe in a manger
To pay for the sins of His people
And give us Freedom and Hope.
O Come Let Us Adore Him!
Christ the Lord

Let us delight in the world's only Savior,
God's indescribable Gift!

    Amen I have to focus on the 'Reason for the Season' quite often, or I could get caught up in all the whoopla. Love the photo of the boys decorating their tree.

    sweet pic of those boys. Love the glowy light. Christmas def is magic...a pregnant, unwed teenager..a baby in a stable...kings from far and wide come to honor him. We have a magical God!
