This new health condition has kept me very sick, and not feeling up to much participation on FR. But I could not let my FRiends down with out wishing them the very best this CHRISTmas. Enjoy the music, and time with your families.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. TODAY day we celebrate our Savior’s birth! MATTHEW 10:33 But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before my Father in heaven.”

Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife. And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Merry Christmas to all!

The Smells Of The Stable

December 25, 2014

Read: Luke 2:15-20

They shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us.” —Matthew 1:23

Bible in a Year:
Zephaniah 1-3; Revelation 16

A stable? What a place to give birth to the Messiah! The smells and sounds of a barnyard were our Savior’s first human experience. Like other babies, He may even have cried at the sounds of the animals and the strangers parading around His temporary crib.

If so, they would have been the first of many tears. Jesus would come to know human loss and sorrow, the doubts his brothers and family had about Him, and the pain His mother experienced as she saw Him tortured and killed.

All these hardships—and so much more—awaited the baby trying to sleep that first night. Yet from His very first moments, Jesus was “God with us” (Matt. 1:23), and He knew what it meant to be human. This would continue for over three decades, ending at His death on the cross.

Because of His love for you and me, Jesus became fully human. And being human allows Him to identify with us. Never again can we say that no one understands us. Jesus does.

May the Light that entered the world that night cast its brilliance into the deepest corners of our souls this Christmas, giving us the peace on Earth of which the angels spoke so long ago.

Father, help our hearts to know the
love of Christ and to honor Him
with our unyielding devotion in
this and every season. We love You.

Jesus understands.

Insight

The role of shepherd is one of the oldest occupations named in the Bible (Gen. 4:2). Shepherds were deemed irreligious and irreverent, because in taking their flock into the wilderness to find pasture, they could not perform their religious duties at the temple. And being in contact with animals (and dead sheep), they were considered “unclean.” That God would announce the birth of the Savior of the world to a group of shepherds is consistent with Jesus’ mission to save the poor and exalt the lowly (Luke 1:51-53; 4:18). It is interesting that Jesus is both the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and the Good Shepherd (10:11).

On this Holy Day I sent love and wishes for a Blessed Christmas to all friends
and FReepers. I miss the days when Brad's Gramma would post her
Christmas threads and ping everybody. What fun we had! But, friends come
and go and we never forget them.

Christ's birth brings joy and love and that brings to mind the joy of children
and so I create some joy -in my mind- with the Peanuts Children. I made it for
all of you.
