The greatest news in all of life! And yet after just a few short weeks, every remnant of remembrance and celebration is swept away - stored in some unseen attic for another 11 months.
Jesus is born. Our Savior is born! Here He finally is! And something in my heart is telling me to... remember.
Jesus is born! Hallelujah!
Jesus is born! Joy to the world!
Let every heart prepare Him room.
But not the attic...
My Father's house has many rooms; if that we not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am. (John 14:2-3)
In a few short days, we'll be un-decorating and decluttering our spaces from all the holiday sparkle, color and shine. But I want a remnant of this most joyous occasion to remain. That You also, Lord, may be where I am. So if you visit my house in the year ahead, you may just find a small nativity tucked on a shelf. Keeping all this Christmas joy in view.
A Savior is born! He is born indeed!
But Mary kept all these things like a secret treasure in her heart. She thought about them over and over. (Luke 2:19 NIRV)
