The Heart That Ponders #29 . . . Shadow of the Cross . . . 12/29/08

Dear Holy Friends,     There is a photo my pastor uses each year during advent. It is of a solitary manger with a golden light shining on the hay. And the light casts a shadow of a cross over the manger. It is a poignant reminder that Christmas and Easter come together. We cannot have one without the other.   In His Grip, Chandra   The Shadow of The Cross   The infant in the manger tiny and brand new, How is it possible He could save me and you? No crowns and royal clothing for this King of kings, rags and a smelly barnyard for the Lord of everything. Lying in the golden hay innocence of a baby boy, heavenly royalty wrapped in newborn joy. God, in the babe in the hay let the miracle not be lost, look closely in this Holy light see the shadow of the cross   ~Chandra Lynn Smith~
