Which translates to "Come let us adore the Lord". MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! What an exciting time of year this is. To celebrate, I headed to an annual Christmas brunch at my friends' house for a while, and then returned home to spend more time with my cousins. They left shortly after I got home and then I got ready for church. This included doing my nails, of course.
I played flute at 3 Christmas services today. It was very busy, but lots of fun. Now I'm exhausted, but ready to head out to "tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born". We read from Luke's nativity story tonight and heard about how the shepherds were told that Christ was born. They traveled to see him and then, as Luke says: "When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them." How awesome is this to think about? Most people have heard the nativity story. But what would have happened if the few people that were there (Mary, Joseph, shepherds, sheep, etc.) never told anyone? It'd be far less likely that we would know the story and become so excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday, over 2000 years later! It's just phenomenal to think about.
So thank you, Lord, for sending the shepherds out to tell the world about your Son. And thank you SO much for sending your Son to save us! <3
Merry Christmas! Remember to think of the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Not the presents or Santa, but JESUS!
