[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Merry Christmas!

[Dixie]

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, 

and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 

 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch 

over their flock by night. 

 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone 

round about them: and they were sore afraid. 

 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of 

great joy, which shall be to all people. 

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ 

the Lord. 

 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling 

clothes, lying in a manger. 

 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising 

God, and saying, 

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Every Heart a Manger 

 

When Christ was born, so was our hope! This is why I love Christmas. The
event invites us to believe the wildest of promises: He did away with every
barrier, fence, sin, bent, debt, and grave. Anything that might keep us from
him was demolished. He only awaits our word to walk through the door. Invite
him in. Escort him to the seat of honor and pull out his chair. Clear the
table; clear the calendar. Call the kids and neighbors. Christmas is here.
Christ is here. One request from you and God will do again what he did then:
scatter the night with everlasting light. He'll be born in you. Let "Silent
Night" be sung! Every heart can be a manger. Every day can be a Christmas.
The Christmas miracle-a yearlong celebration!
