Joy to the World
Why is Christmas so magical?
Is it because of all the shopping and wrapping?
Is it because of the anticipation of Santa?
Is it the lights; the tree decorations?
Is it the baked goodies: Christmas cookies and fruitcake?
Is it the gathering with family?
It is all these things, but so much more…
It is the candlelight church service on Christmas Eve,
The Advent season in expectation of Christ’s birthday,
The live Nativity or Christmas play put on by the children,
It is the groups of carolers singing outside of the nursing home
facilities,
It is the celebration of our Savior’s birth, after all:
A story of a ride on a donkey to the city of Bethlehem,
Where there were no rooms available to sleep,
It is the generosity of the one who offered his stable as
shelter,
To a young woman who was about to give birth,
It is the brightest star alerting the shepherds to join the
celebration,
Bringing flocks of sheep with them, as they followed the star,
Three kings, the wise men, seeking the newborn babe, also
journeyed,
Bringing precious gifts to the baby, the son of God,
And that is why Christmas is so magical.
Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!
