A Child is Born

What Child is this, who laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
All tongues and peoples own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

“For to 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.”

Isaiah 9:6-7

When Jesus was born God made it clear that this baby was the one for whom the world had been waiting, and watching and hoping, ever since the first man and woman had been driven out of Eden. A Savior, a deliverer, a king. What joy must have filled Mary and Joseph’s hearts as they looked down at their tiny son, wrapped in blankets, lying in an ordinary manger filled with straw, surrounded by cows and sheep and donkeys. What hope in knowing that this child was the one in whom all of God’s promises would be fulfilled. Knowing that He was the one in whom God’s people would find forgiveness of sins, the one in whom they would find true and lasting peace, the one whose power would establish an eternal kingdom of justice and righteousness.

“You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father’s face and tell him you have received his Christmas gift.” ~John R. Rice

"Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem"

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shining far through shadows dimmed
Giving the light for those who long have gone
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains 'till the break of dawn
Into the land of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us a lamp to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star the hope, the grace
For the redeem the good and the blessed
Yonder in glory when the crowd is one
Jesus is now the star divine
Brighter and brighter he will shine
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us a lamp to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem

Quiet and Peaceful Morning

A very quiet, peaceful morning at my house. 

Having my morning coffee, enjoying the pretty cards we've received.

Christmas music playing on the radio, Mr D has already gone to his man cave and the dogbabies are fast asleep in their bed.

What child is this, who, laid to rest,

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Wrapped up in my own thoughts this morning.
Maybe I should get out today.

But do I really want do?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

Look at all these coupons....

Calling, calling, calling...

Shopping, shopping, shopping..!

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Maybe I should ask Mr D what he would like to do today.

I don't think shopping will his number one answer!

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary.

I don't know what the day will finally bring for Mr D and I,

one thing for sure, whatever it may be, we'll do it together!

Linking with Breathing In Grace for

Stop by and say Hello!

Until Next Time

May your Home be warm,

Your Christmas grand,

And may your Heart

be held gently

in the palm of...
God's hand.
