christmas, indeed.

he came for me.
nothing is more vulnerable and fragile then a little baby.
completely dependent on everyone, on anyone else.
that is how he came.
the king of all kings left everything to empathize with the masses.
with me.
to know what it feels like to wear flesh, to have needs to have pain.
he entered my mess.

the older i get the more i love Jesus.
i love him. he just understands me.
i understand him.
and i have such strength from him.
in him.
he gave up everything for me.
no matter how i try and understand, i can’t wrap my
mind around all he let go of
to understand me.
to save me.

extravagant love.
somehow he gave up everything for me.
radical love.

i know tomorrow is not the “real” date he was born.
i mean, i guess it could be, but mostly likely its not.
it is the day we celebrate it though.
ooooo how i treasure the little babe that came in the manger.
....................
i haven’t had much free moments to breath or think and
forget about blogging.
being home has been so delightful.
my heart already feels full of months worth of joy.

nothing fills my heart like my family and our laughter
and the ridiculous things we do trying to one up each other
in sillyness.

i hope you have a merry christmas and feel the depth of love God went
through to reach you;
to let you know you are loved.
you are loved.
ooo what a glorious thought!
he loves us! he came for us!
merry merry christmas indeed!
