The word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~John 1:14

In that Bethlehem barn so long ago,

The word became flesh. (John 1:14).

Witnessed only by Mary and Joseph and the stable's four-legged audience.

We observed his glory... (John 1:14).

But His radiance cannot be contained or limited, and even the stars shouted of His birth:

"For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”  ~Matthew 2:2


The holy mystery surrounding the depth of Your love becoming flesh and dwelling among us may never be fully unraveled.

Our finite minds and hearts can't grasp the full...grace and truth that You were born to bring.

But we can (symbolically/spiritually/figuratively/faithfully) grasp that tiny hand reaching out to us from the manger today.

Today we observe Your glory.

The glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14).


We observe Your glory in the blessings of today. In the wonder of today, in the spiritual miracle of today.

In the simplicity of what You mean for us today, and the grandeur of what You mean for us today.

We observe Your glory in the memories of yesterday and yesteryear.

We observe Your glory in the strength You provide--resilience.

We observe Your glory in the childhood joy of today--realtime or remembered.


Whether we gather with many today or sit in silence with You, we are never alone.

The word became flesh and dwelt among us. ~John 1:14

Observe His glory today.

The glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14).

He was born so that we might live! (I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  ~John 10:10).

Merry Christmas.


Blessings,

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ig

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways.  They relaxed in their allegiance to the Lord, and then the
