Right To Life
In a few days, we will be celebrating Christmas. Our Advent practices will have prepared our heart for the welcoming of Baby Jesus-the Savior of the World. God loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to be our Redeemer-beginning His life in Mary's womb, so He could experience all we experience on earth-even being born!
I love my Nativity set and when I look at al the pieces I always reflect on "What is everyone thinking at this marvelous sight?" Is Mary thinking ahead of what it will entail
in having to raise the Son of God? Is Joseph making plans for Jesus's future? Is Baby
Jesus aware of His surroundings? Are the Wise Men stunned that the newborn King is in a stable? Do the shepherds know that this Baby will be our true Shepherd and we will be His flock? The animals always appear at peace-and I believe they know the miracle that has just happened. And, of course, God is celebrating His Son's birth to save humanity!
May your Christmas season be filled with the joy of Jesus, overflowing to the New Year. We are blessed people who have the privilege of sharing that LIFE is a beautiful gift which should be opened each day with gratitude. Remember, Baby Jesus in the manger gave us new LIFE in Him!
Wishing all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!
