Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is officially the Christmas "season". However, I always get too excited and put up my decor early. Each year I go to Hobby Lobby with stars in my eyes to see the new Christmas decor. Often times we get so preoccupied with the ornaments and wreaths and such that have so much pizzaz, that we overlook the humble manger scene. It is the perfect picture of what Christmas really is. God so loved the world that he gave his only son. Jesus, who is God, has been seated in heaven since the beginning of time. He is God who reigns in heaven! He came from royalty to this earth. That demotion might be something we think lightly of because we live here. However, for Jesus to step down from heaven, and to be a humble servant to the people he would die for is so humiliating. Love actually came down on Christmas, for me and for you! So when we put up our manager scenes we can remember that it stands for when God intervened on our behalf; He sent his son to earth. You cannot get that kind significance from a Christmas tree.
Great worship song for you and your family!
