And Santa went on to say, "Out in the fields, an angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds who were tending their flocks of sheep by night. The angel announced that the Savior had been born in the town of David. Suddenly a great host of heavenly beings appeared with the angels and began singing praises to God. As the angelic beings departed, the shepherds decided to travel to Bethlehem and see the Christ-child.
There they found Mary, Joseph and the baby, in the stable. After their visit, they began to spread the word about this amazing child and everything the angel had said about him. They went on their way still praising and glorifying God. But Mary kept quiet, treasuring their words and pondering them in her heart. It must have been beyond her ability to grasp, that sleeping in her arms—the tender child she had just borne—was the Savior of the world."
"And that, my little one, to all of you really, is the real reason why we celebrate this Christmas season", said Santa.
I pray that each of you are well. You have your shopping and baking almost done, but in the hustle and bustle of it all, that you do remember the real reason of Christmas, and that you remember to share it with your families, children, and your grandchildren.
Please pray for all of our sisters (and brothers) here in blogland, as so many have prayer needs every day, but especially through this holiday season. So many have lost loved ones and the holidays are the hardest, as that is a time of family gatherings, and to have one missing at the table is almost unbearable. I am praying for each and every one of you. God Bless You All.
As always, thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert, that I so love to call home. Country hugs and much, much love
