(Don't you love it when someone sends you a photo of a gift you gave them being used?)
See how humankind received him;
See him wrapped in swaddling bands,
Who as Lord of all creation
Rules the wind by his commands.
See him lying in a manger
Without sign of reasoning;
Word of God to flesh surrendered,
He is wisdom's crown, our King.
See how tender our Defender
At whose birth the angels sing.
~from a Medieval Dutch Carol
May the wonder of why the Christ child came to earth fill your hearts
with joy overflowing as you celebrate Christmas.
