But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart" Luke 2:19 We put up a Christmas tree here in Mexico but we don't have any gifts under the tree but are expecting gifts to be shared upon our arrival in the states with our family. Expectancy at it's finest. A Christmas tree in the form of manger. What a night it must have been. Picture it... I can just see the "manger tree waiting" for the greatest gift of all to be placed in it. The moment Jesus was placed in the manger, the lights of his glory were wrapped and tucked around this manger tree and the brightness couldn't contain itself! Suddenly the sky is ripped open like a child ripping open the first gift on Christmas morning. Shooting out of the heavenlies is a streak of angels racing to see who could be the first one to see the gift that they had been expecting.They didn't wait until they arrived to have worship, but began praising God shouting "the King is coming in!"in expectancy of his presence! Upon arrival and encircling the gift, they placed the biggest bow of praise and worship upon the child and the light of his presence and glory was so powerful it lit up the skies. What a night to remember.....a night we should never forget. Are you an inn keeper or a stable dweller this Christmas? Is there room under your tree for Jesus? O come let us adore Him!
