The heart That Ponders #27 . . .I wonder . . .12/28/08

Dear Holy Friends,     The Christmas Tree sparkles in my Living Room. This morning I sat for a while and enjoyed the only light in the house coming from the tree and the nativity on the mantel. Then I opened my Bible and read the last two chapters of Revelation. Since 1991 I have read my Bible entirely in one year. Today I get to mark another year in the back of my Bible! The radio played a beautiful mixture of worship and Christmas music. Everything about the morning has pointed to my Jesus. And, I don't want to let Christmas go. So, I allowed my mind to wonder a bit this morning.   In His Grip, Chandra     I Wonder   Fresh hay has a fragrant smell but manure can overpower. I wonder what was in the air at Jesus' birthing hour?   Animals give off body heat but they also snort and groan. I wonder if it was warm and quiet as birth pains made Mary moan?   Childbirth is a miracle  but it brings blood and pain. I wonder how Mary found comfort as birth caused her body to strain?   Christmas is a wonder Love came down to earth. But may I never take lightly the humility of my Savior's birth.   ~Chandra Lynn Smith~
