Dear Ones,
Merry, Merry Christmas! May we each welcome the most Unspeakable Gift ever as He came to this earth for us, so simple wrapped in a blanket and so profound. Hope you have a wonderful peace-filled Christmas!
We will be heading to the cities to gather with the relatives for two days and nights. Will write as I am able. Remember to pra for Bill Babjan as he has open heart surgery tomorrow.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
Through the years I have been blessed by Jill Brisco’s teachings, poems and writings and read how she and her pastor husband have ministered all over the world. Recently a poem was put out by “Just Between Us” for everyone to read and since it has everything to do with Christmas, I want to share this with you today and image the humble way God chose to come to us and be present with us and in us.

Divinity Wrapped in a Blanket

By: Jill Briscoe

Divinity wrapped in a blanket,
Laid in the arms of the race,
Slept while His Father kept silent,
Watching with tears on His face.

The godhead resides in a body,
So weak and incredibly small,
While angels bereft of their treasure,
Try to make sense of it all.

Divinity wrapped in a baby.
How simple, yet simply profound,
Like the kings and the shepherds I worship,
And bow myself down to the ground.

Infinity chose to be finite,
Omniscience made Himself known,
Omnipotence laid down His power,
Emmanuel made my heart home.

Unspeakable gift, softly spoken,
Unimaginable love made so clear,
Immeasurable grace of the Father,
Bringing us all nations so near.

Divinity wrapped in a blanket,
Eternity visiting time,
Stopped all the clocks in the heavens,
As God chose to make Himself mine.

Challenge for today: Receive the Lord in all the ways He comes to you each day, remembering that He was humble enough to come as a little baby so that you could experience His love.
Blessings as you celebrate this Christmas Day and prayers and love, Judy
