A Little Lesson
Having a newborn during this Christmas season has made me
reflect over and over and over again about the literal birth of our Savior.
I put Parker in an extra cozy flannel sleeper, swaddle him in a soft clean fleece blanket,
turn on quiet Christmas music and rock him to sleep, where I will then lay him in a bassinet,
turn off the light, check the heat, turn on the monitor, kiss him one more time on the forehead,
say goodnight and close the door.
And his name shall be called. . .
Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God,
the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
And yet
he was born under the stars, placed upon hey, and surrounded by animals.
The son of God came quietly to the earth, to quietly, one by one, save us all.
