Merry Christmas!
(it is just the seventh day of Christmas)
This Christmas has been somewhat different to me. In some ways it has been the same yet I think that this upcoming trip has given it a little different flavor. With every event and moment I keep thinking where I will be next year (somewhere in Ecuador?). Sometimes the thoughts bring tears to my eyes and sometimes excitement (or often both).
In between these thoughts I have been thinking about the Christmas Story too. I wish I could share all of the different trails my thoughts have taken this year, but one was predominate in my mind. Jesus. Yes, I know that sounds obvious, but bear with me. I keep thinking about who He was before coming and then realizing that He stayed the same even in coming to earth as a baby. Did that little baby know? He was fully God yet He was a baby. I really can’t wrap my mind around it. It is humbling, or should be, to think that God came in the most helpless form. He did that for me. Now, can I in turn become humble as my Lord did? Yes, but I have to be willing to let Him humble me. I cannot do it myself.
That is humbling.
I hope this Christmas was/is blessed and you have a Happy New Year!
Through Christ,
Brooke
