25.12.10

Jesus Christ, the Son of God came down to this Earth just over 2000 years ago.
God stepped down into the chaos of this world to arrive as a tiny baby.
It was on the most hectic night, spent in a cave amongst animal dung that Jesus came.
The God of the whole universe who created you and me and this planet we live on came down and walked around on it with people like you and me. It is unfathomable.

This is my favourite carol because I think it says it all. Read the lyrics please.




Once in royal Davids city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.


The best part about this Christmas day in particular came right at the end.
The Amies and I exchanged gifts on Amy Lloyd's bed. There was so much happiness and friendship expressed in the creating and choosing of gifts. Amy R made us calendars. they are so beautiful and must have taken hours. Amy L got me a Frankie subscription which is awesome because I love it millions.
I really am so grateful to have such incredible friends. I feel so blessed.
Amy L found us friendship rings. It's a set of three!

A bit of a long one tonight. Hopefully you made it.
