~Day 23 Of My Favorite Christmas Thoughts~
What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap lay sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him love,
The Babe, the son of Mary....
Come and See
"The shepherds were invited to come and see. They saw. They trembled. They testified. They rejoiced. They saw Him wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, the Prince of Peace......."At this Christmas season I extend to you the gift of determination to come and see......"A young man in deep trouble and despair said to me recently, 'It's all right for others to have a Merry Christmas, but not me. It's no use. It's too late.'".......We can stay away and complain. We can stay away and nurse our sorrows. We can stay away and pity ourselves. We can stay away and find fault. We can stay away and become bitter. Or we can come and see! We can come and see and know!"
