I’m so excited for Christmas. This year I have been given a very special gift. I have a deeper understanding of what it means to anticipate the coming of a child. As we plan and wait and prepare for our child, we are reminded this time of year that long ago others were anticipating the birth of our Savior. It’s hard to imagine Jesus as a real, living, tiny baby tucked away in a manger upon His arrival on Earth.
This has been an everpresent thought this past week and it’s really helped me to focus on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it. In honor of Christmas, of Jesus’ birthday, I’m going to share with you a very special adoption story. A story that started several hundreds of years ago in a manger filled with hay.

Hey mel,
you and the promised la’d and the other chosen have a very Merry Christmas.
Comment by grammar aka annoy mouse December 22, 2005 @ 9:15 amThank you for this. Our adoption is on the brink of being stopped, because of one peice of paper. It’s a long confusing story, but hearing this, reminds me that God’s timing is best and God’s plan is greater and bigger then what we could ever imagine. Lori from MN

Lori, you will be in my prayers. adoption is all paper work and putting the rest of your life in others hands. thank the Lord he is “really” in controll! love and blessings to all. mel-
