Christmas  eve

Isaiah 7:14
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

  I can't help but think as I woke up this morning about Jesus Christ. As I saw this scripture I envision Mary being pregnant with child and todays the day....was she in labor today, or was she in labor just tomorrow for his birth? What was she feeling on this eve..... she was in a strange place, Bethlehem was not her home,  yet she had to give birth there. Was she scared, and excited and apprehensive, she must have been...She had assurance and deep down she must have felt a calming spirit  as she thought about her coming Son and the words of the angel when he appeared to her to console her in the beginning of her conception. 
Luke 1 :31-33
"31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
  Wow, what a mighty God we serve !! He made a way, he had a plan and his plan, his way is perfect, even when we don't understand, if we choose to trust and obey, he will prevail and we as individuals will thrive and grow in him.
Each Christmas Eve, I wake up so excited,  not just because of the presents and the magic of Christmas, but because of the fact that I have a savior that came to the earth in human form, to save a wretch like me!!! I am so thankful that he has given me the knowledge to know him, and the wisdom to desire a relationship with him, and continue in it. When things happen or have happened in my life that I don't understand, I have learned to just trust him and ask for a little more grace....But on this day and everyday,  I am so thankful for Jesus Christ, who was and is and always will be !!!!!     !                           Mary Lewis '2012
