BIRTH
Today's reading: Micah 5-7

"The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies until the time when the woman in labor gives birth to her son. Then at last his fellow countrymen will return from exile to their own land." Micah 5:3 NLT

Birth- emergence of a new individual from the body of its parent.

Oh, what a time of year to think about babies.

How cute they are.

How cuddly they can be.

How dependent they arrive.

How filled with wonder and awe they are.

How much hope and anticipation comes with their arrival.

Especially the Christ Child.

Because of Him we have freedom, peace, assurance and life everlasting.

Take a minute and ponder the birth of Jesus...it will release you from the hustle and bustle of Christmas.
