"And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a
virgin shall be with child, and shall
bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us."
Matthew 1:21-23 (KJV)
"Love's Response"
(By Kitty Chappell)
He stood there in his soggy, smelly
diaper --
a helpless creature
reaching up to his father.
I marveled that anyone could love this
runny-nosed, candy-smeared,
tear-streaked being
enough to lift him up,
kiss him, and care for his needs.
I heard Your whisper, Lord.
And I remembered
how I came to You --
heartbroken and dirty
from playing in the world.
Thank You, Father,
for picking me up
and loving me
through my unloveliness.
