Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song And Praise

This year, Ken and I were gifted with two new grandbabies.  And, next year, another grandbaby will make his or her appearance in our lives.  I must say, there is nothing like the joy of seeing each of these babies for the first time.  I think many of us can relate to that feeling and experience.  Seeing and holding a new baby is a precious, holy experience, and I do believe it changes us.  Seeing the beauty of a baby’s face and recognizing in that face the miracle and gift of life that has been born into this world is an experience treasured by almost everyone.  And, on this night, we come to this place wanting to catch a glimpse of a baby.   We come to get a glimpse of the Christ child who has been born among us, born to us and born for us.  The Christmas season gets so very busy and many of us find our lives filled up with all kinds of time-consuming details – schedules to keep, presents to buy and wrap, parties and concerts to attend, rooms to clean, decorations to put up and get in place, food to prepare.
