As we anticipate the arrival of our precious grand daughter, I can't help but think back 2000 years ago & ponder what must have taken place. Baby Jesus had so many prophesies which foretold his coming. Our baby has sonograms to foretell her sweet arrival. Our Savior had a bright star which wise men followed. Our lil girl has non stress tests.
Our hearts are waiting & watching. At least we've been distracted from the ruins of our home. A tornado ravaged our community one month ago today. Christmas is around the corner, & our plans are tentative. After all, we are about to be blessed with a most treasured gift, a new baby grand daughter.
We have done all we can to prepare for her birth day. A few little sleepers have been bought & laundered. She has a nursery complete with a crib & a rocker I used to rock her beautiful mama. She has a carseat & a blanket or two. Most of all, she has our hearts. We cannot wait to meet her!
When Jesus was born on that first Christmas, it seemed despite all the prophesies, people were caught off guard. Their minds were not prepared. Their hearts did not welcome the greatest gift of all time. Even today, people haven't figured this out.
So... as we anticipate our little miracle, I can't help but imagine what went on 2000 years ago. I can't help but wonder why people still refuse to trust in Him. I can't help but thank my Heavenly Father for the greatest gift of all time, & for the Little Blessing He is about to bestow on us.
