Luke 2:7-11~"And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
Happy Birthday, LORD JESUS! YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! And, the real gift is You! May Your holy name be most glorified! Our prayers for a blessed Christmas, and Your blessings in the new year!
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Felicem Natalem Christi!
A Room In Our Hearts

You left Your Father’s home
Your Kingly crown and Heavenly throne
In a humble manger You were borne
Wrapped in swaddling cloths,
And without a permanent home.
You willingly came down to earth
To dwell among sinful people—
People who are self-seeking and lost
Blinded by their own righteousness—
Who refused to come into the light.
A true pilgrim You were
Traveling from place to place.
Earthly things You never desire—
Though You are the Creator,
And Owner of All.
You live a life here on earth,
Mocked and disowned.
Yet sinless and perfect—
A sacrificial Lamb for all.
Your obedience to Your Heavenly Father,
And Your love for the world
Gave way to Your victory—
The power of sin is finally broken,
Triumphant on the Cross.
You knocked at hearts’ doors
And a room You have found.
Willingly surrendered—
Our souls, our lives.
Our All.
Now and always … You dwell in our hearts.
