LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3 |
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. Isaiah 2:11
In an editorial printed in Reaper magazine, David G. Stewart wrote, In India we used to chuckle about baby pujah, or baby worship. All the women would gather around the baby in arms, and cluck like broody hens with their approval, and note the supposed likeness to mom or dad, and hold the fingers, touch the cheek, kiss the feet. A favorite term to describe the young baby boy was Little Rajah, Little King. Though they do not actually bow down and worship a new baby, those Indians give so much attention to a new infant that its no wonder they call it baby worship.
When Jesus was an infant, He too received adoration and honor. He was adored by shepherds who left their flocks in the fields to worship a baby in a manger. Why? Because He was the King of kings.
I wonder, as this Christmas season progresses, are you able to focus your attention, even briefly, on the One whose birth we celebrate? Even more, are you willing to bow down in humility and give Him the adoration He rightly deserves? Isaiah prophesied long ago that His name would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (9:6). Jesus was no ordinary baby. He truly was the King of all kings!

Morning, jaycee - getting back to yesterday's pings. Isn't that little girl sweet? Got it in my email a 'collection' of gifs just a few weeks ago and thought it would be a great WFW post. :)
Belated hello to Miss Kitty and her mallard duck. :)
Wasn't then, but sorry I missed that sweet puppy! That is so cute!
Good morning to you, Amy. Thank you. Gosh, I'm never around when you are it seems. Didn't we *just* have the Christmas season a few months ago? How could it be the end of the year again already? :)
Morning, Aqua - I saw your beautiful music post on the Tuesday Christmas Music thread, and now this one. Wanted to say hello, even though it's a new day, new thread - JH2's Two Cents already!
WWJD - I love your poem, NNB. It's beautiful.
Also wanted to say I noticed your last "snowing" table post! Yay for you, for getting the snow on top of the picture! (Isn't it fun?) :)
I love the puppy untying the ribbon on his Christmas present. :) Really neat pledge graphic, too, Lori!

Thank you, ma'am. :-)

It works with any animation you want to use with a picture "behind" it, too. The animation just needs to be transparent. It makes me feel good that you are interested enough to check out source codes - it's the way that I learn still!
