Some people look,
but they don’t see
the gift God sent
to set them free.
They see a manger,
not the Savior
they see a Baby
not God’s favor.
They see a Boy,
not the King of Kings
they see a Child
not the hope He brings.
They see the Magi,
not the Deliverer
they see the Shepherds
not the lifesaver.
Some people look,
into the manger
but they only see . . .
Jesus as a stranger!
~~~~~~~
“And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.”

WHAT!!!! That is just crazy . . . but, since I am not wrapped up in all the trappings I am all ready to celebrate Jesus’ birth. I am making Him a cake and my grandsons will blow out the candles 🙂
