Christmas

Psalm 40:3

He put a new song in my mouth,
       a hymn of praise to our God.
       Many will see and fear the LORD
       and put their trust in him.

Merry Christmas!

Advent thoughts: I want you

My little three year old daughter is sick at the moment - she just woke up crying and called me up to her bed.  I asked her: ”Do you want a drink”  No.  “Do you want songs?”  Shake of head.  “Do you want more covers?”  Silence.  “What’s up then – what do you want???”  She simply replied, “I want you.”

What greater gift could a father give than himself?  I lay down beside her and took her under my arm.  Of course, I’m not the first father to act in this way…

I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign LORD.”  (Ezekiel 34:15)

3 days till Christmas…
