This morning our house felt different—quiet and happy, like Christmas was already whispering to us. Robert picked us up for Christmas service, and we went together with Mini, who stayed close and watched everything like she understood it was a holy day.
Father LeRoy preached from the meditation about the Nativity—the newborn Saviour who is so tiny, and yet truly God. He said Jesus chose the manger on purpose, so no one would think they had to be grand or important to come near Him. He came small and humble to draw our hearts close—love for love.
When we got home, we shared Christmas dinner with Robert and our friend Arlo. The house was filled with joy and warm talking, and it felt like a blessing to have everyone together. Mini went from person to person like she was making sure the whole day stayed cheerful.
Tonight I keep thinking about making “room” for Jesus, not just in our home, but in my heart too.
My Resolution:
I will give Baby Jesus room in my heart by being humble, obeying quickly, and doing kind things without fussing.
Evening Prayer:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Dear Baby Jesus, thank You for coming to us in such a gentle way. Help me love You back and stay close to You. Bless Robert and Arlo, and bless our home with Your peace.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
Love, Kathy
