so, christmastime. i think of peppermint sticks, pine trees, hot cocoa, dirty santa, scarves, ice skating downtown, besides the obvious. i want to celebrate the season for what it truly means...
one of my favorite christmas songs is "mary, did you know?" mainly because i try to picture a young girl, holding this precious baby, knowing that God favored her and blessed her with a son who would reign over the house of David, his kingdom never ending.
mary, did you know...
that your baby boy will one day walk on water
that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters
that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man
that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand
that your baby boy has walked where angels trod
that your baby boy is the lord of all creation
that your baby boy will one day rule the nations
that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb
when you kiss your baby boy, you've kissed the face of God
mary had great faith, she sang about her joy in the Lord, giving credit to him, acknowledging his mercy extended to those who fear him. the Lord kept his promise to remain faithful to israel, thus preserving the line of christ.
it's only because of the lord's promise and those faithful to carry on in obedience that we can be adopted into the line of christ! i look forward to that kingdom never ending...
