A Baby for Christmas


Selfishly, I want to throw a giant pity party for myself--and you would be invited. But I'm not, so you don't need to post it on your calendar:) I thought I would save you all some trouble.

All I wanted for Christmas was a baby. A baby that had no home. I wanted to dress this baby up in Christmas dress clothes, take Christmas pictures and send out family Christmas cards, from the 3 of us. Right now, there is an ache in my heart as I celebrate Christmas with my family of 2 instead.

I don't know why we don't have a baby this Christmas. I don't know why God chose to close this door. I don't know why this is not the Christmas that I will become a proud mama.

But there is a baby.

A baby that brought hope.

A baby that brought reconciliation.

A baby that brought redemption.

A baby that brought peace.

A baby that grew up to give His life for me

A baby that was born fully man and fully God.

And because of that baby, I can celebrate Christmas.
