Have you ever noticed how a baby can change the whole environment of a room? You can be standing in line somewhere thinking that you would rather be anywhere else in the world…frustrated beyond belief; and, a mother or father can walk in with a baby and people just seem to smile a little more. Babies have the ability to change the world.
If the baby is old enough to interact with those around them…they can lift the spirits of the grumpiest person nearby. Everyone is that baby’s friend and while they may not want to leave the safe and secure arms of mom or dad to let a stranger hold them…they will generally smile, coo and try to engage those around them. That baby has already changed everything about life for both mom and dad; as well as those in the life of mom and dad.
Every baby is special. But there is one baby that is even more so; it is baby Jesus. Today is his birthday and he changed the world more than any other child born. He was born to bring life and love everlasting to the world. He loves everyone and wishes for them to live in heaven. For this to happen…we must accept him as our savior; and, live a life that is worthy of being saved-the bible is our road map…it teaches us the way to live. We live to be of service to others and to worship God.
Babies are a gift from God…just as baby Jesus was a gift. So this Christmas, please remember him in your celebration. He is the reason for the whole holiday…celebrating Christmas without celebrating Christ Jesus seems like an empty holiday to me. May you be blessed this Christmas and in this New Year! Happy Birthday Jesus! How do you plan on celebrating Christmas?
