Sisters, I love the picture, the joy and love that it captures. I read or heard this Christmas, that God had to come to earth as a baby, so that we would not be afraid to approach Him. That has given me alot to reflect on… He comes in such a way, so we can go to Him.
May we live in the love stance of Christmas all year round…

Christmas “happens” when I experience the unexpected… an uninvited guest shows up for a meal and the food stretches, a baby smiles at me though we’ve never met, a rugged looking street person wishes me a “Merry Christmas”, a friend sends homemade granola bars as a gift, a community member offers me support for a daunting project. God surprises shepherds, kings, and me!

The word that comes to my mind is Christmas Love.
Love of God and Neighbor – they go hand in hand.
With God – we can think of others’ needs instead of our own wants.

Extravagant and boundless LOVE! Christmas comes to us as pure gift. God bent down so low to bring us His Son who is the source of our joy and gladness. God comes in so many quiet ways, but always as gentle love for everyone.

Redeemed of the Lord has come to us as a little child, long awaited, quietly, in a humble stable, in the midst of the night. The longing and the waiting is just the beginning as he is here and in His presence we behold the depths of God’s great LOVE and this happens over and over again each day of our EARTHLY lives until He calls to take us to Himself forever in His heavenly home where we will be in His presence and glory FOREVER!

I’m always reminded…God comes so unexpectedly…as a child, a helpless Babe, totally dependent on his mother, His father, in a stable…away from the town and the hustle adn bustle; in a quiet place where in the quiet birds sing, the cows and donkeys voices fill the air. So “unexpected. And so does God come to us..in one other, in strangers, relatives, frieds…in unnexpected ways. Pray, therefore, for the gift of acceptance, knowledge, understanding in the face of “the unexpected ways of the Lord.”

God loves us. For a God to embrace our humanity is indescribable love. Our God of pure love is there at all times waiting for us especially at the darkest hour of disappointment, tragedy, desperate situations shining a ray of light, of hope.
