Thursday…. CHRISTMAS, THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME

 Today’s picture:

 

BUT for today:

Some preacher or speaker not long ago ‘busted’ my bubble and I did not appreciate it.  He said the angels did not sing when they appeared to the Shepherds! Maybe, but the scripture DOES NOT SAY THEY DIDN’T SING!!

I don’t care; I can STILL HEAR THEM!!  LOL

I smile and don’t want to get in a fuss with my pastor, but I disagree with him lately. He is determined Jesus was born in a stinking dirty stable area. Shucks if my mama would have had to give birth to me in a barn, I bet she and dad would have that place cleaned up for my arrival. I betcha my swaddling clothes would have been clean and that manger would have been dumped and fresh good smelling straw would have been in it.

I can only imagine what would have been done for the Gift of God to this earth.  I have NO DOUBT that even though traveling, Joseph and Mary had much time to discuss and plan, they were not caught unawares. This did not come as a shock, women seem to know when it is TIME, and even new mothers ain’t gonna be caught with no prep. Imma thinking the Father HIMSELF is not gonna let this be caught without normal preparations. ;-)

I was never a farmer, but why I take exception to the smell or stink thing is that my great grandpa’s barn did not stink. OUR black friends had a bard that did not stink, when I was a kid and played in their barn. Of course there was a smell, but I think the smell of fresh hay covered it.

A loving husband would help get things together. This woman knowing the baby inside her is SPECIAL, is gonna do the best for HIM!

I used to wish I had been a shepherd’s boy and in the field with my dad that night. What a wonder to see a heavenly host. I know they would have been joyful enough to sing to us!  LOL so there!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and may the Lord smile upon you.
