As we await Christmas Day and the gifts we have been given I wonder how many will recieve the present they asked for. What Mary must have been feeling at this time 2000 years ago. Baby almost due, trying to find warm and shelter in a dark and smelly cattle barn, hardly the most hygenic and ideal places to have a new born infant. But Mary held on to God's promises. you see God is a Promise Keeper not a promise breaker and as Mary held on to the promises God had given her so we too can hold on to God's promise, "...and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." matthew 28 v 20.
So till the celebrations tomorrow have a happy and blessed Christmas.
"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
