She (Mary) will give birth to a son, and you are to call Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.  All this took place in fulfillment of what the Lord had said through the prophet.  Matthew 1:20, 21

Thank You Lord for coming to earth as a baby to save us all from our sins.  Thank You for asking all of us to come to You.  You are waiting with open arms to receive us.  Thank You for giving us freedom and peace by taking away our sins and making us a whole new person.  Lord, You were the long-awaited Savior that everyone was waiting for.  Today, we are no different than the people of the day You were born.  Today we are watching and waiting for You to come back to the earth and take those that love You and are following You to heaven with You.  Thank You for preparing our home to spend all eternity with You. 

Thank You Lord.

The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way:  When His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.  But as Joseph, her fiancé, was fair-minded and did not want to disgrace her publicly, he planned to break with her secretly.  But while he was considering this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, be not afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.   Matthew 1:18 – 20

Thank You Lord for telling Your story.  Thank You for coming to earth for each one of us and calling us to become Your children.  Thank You that year after year we can rejoice in Your birth.  Christmas is a wonderful day.  Our hearts are humbled as we reflect on Your humble beginning.  Thank You for Joseph that believed and stood by Mary.  Thank You for choosing Mary.  Thank You for sending the angel to Joseph.  Thank You for the many beautiful parts to Your story.  But most of all Lord we thank and praise You that all this happened for us to be able to accept You as our Lord and Savior and spend all eternity with You.  Oh how we thank and praise You for coming as a baby to teach us how to live our lives today.

Thank You Lord.
